Duncan Howard made this list and then Jaren Foss won a regional with it, but it seems that the Mindlink craze has brought the attention to Scum. But the list wasn't effected by the FAQ. Wondering is the list still good? Or was it just a one week wonder? What's it's weaknesses and strengths?

(100)

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (66) - VT-49 Decimator
Predator (3), Darth Vader (3), Gunner (5), Kylo Ren (3), Dauntless (2), Engine Upgrade (4)

Carnor Jax (34) - TIE Interceptor
Push The Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Autothrusters (2), Hull Upgrade (3)

Carnor is absolutely fantastic in this meta. Attanni lists really hate him.

Yeah I've been flying Jax a ton and have had pretty good success. My problem in my past lists have always been variance and the wish to have room for Hull Upgrade, the above list has it so I think it will work even better. RAC has also taken a few Store Champs recently too.

It's a good list. My problem is really more with RAC. You're putting over 60 points into a zero agility ship. That's a lot to go boom. Especially with Vader in the mix. You're literally killing yourself in the hope your opponent dies faster. With the palp nerf, I think triple aces gets you more.

Does Kylo trigger off Darth Vader crew?

ISYTDS card says "from an attack" Vadeer crew is not an attack so I think not.

Kylo does NOT trigger off Vader. That's been confirmed by FFG

Well my problem is I like real Aces, not these High PS jousters and alpha strikes.

Vader has actually saved health more than he has hurt me. You just gotta be smart when to use him. He's terrific versus Fenn cuz Fenn refuses to get in Range.

You could always run 2 aces and a bomber. Tomax, or a gamma vet. This would actually give you both. It makes your list more flexible. I like Vader versus other aces, but no autothrusters means he is very vulnerable to TLT, or ordinance. If he had autothrusters, he would be a monster.

RAC/Jax & RAC/Inky make Top 16 at the European Championship. Next time I'll make a thread titled Fel's Wrath in the current meta?

Did they really? Do you know the specific lists?

Yep, RAC/Inky is #2, RAC/Jax is #16.

I only know the RAC/Jax build which is this

(99)

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (64) - VT-49 Decimator
Veteran Instincts (1), Kylo Ren (3), Emperor Palpatine (8), Dauntless (2), Engine Upgrade (4)

Carnor Jax (35) - TIE Interceptor
Push The Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Autothrusters (2), Shield Upgrade (4)

Dang, that's nice. I had a RAC /Inquisitor list I wanted to try but wasn't brave enough. Hope one of the Decimator lists makes it to the stream!

One of the guys I play with a ton has flown RAC/Inky since Inky came out and before that flew Vader. He's made Top 16 and Top 8 at regionals, but has just had some bad luck recently and has stopped flying it. I really hope these results encourage him.
