is it?

I have not found a rule yet. I have a feeling tho one is coming.

Currently, yes. Zuckuss is legal crew on the C-ROC... He throws a stress token at the C-ROC and the C-ROC throws it away.

cool playing it Thursday better get as many games in with it while I can before the nerf bat starts swinging

I don't see any reason to assume the nerf bat would be swinging the C-ROC's way. This won't be Dengaroo redux; the C-ROC will shoot once a round (in Epic, mind, so that one shot will have significantly less impact overall), have precious few other dice mods, and will be quite killable.

Since the c-roc only has 1 weapon it's not really a big deal, it'll be interesting to see if they do something when/if scum gets their bigger huge ship.

It's a broken mechanic, but not overpowered on the C-ROC. If Scum gets a double card epic ship with multiple shots you can expect Zuckuss to join Navigator as invalid huge ship crew, but I'm not expecting anything before that happens.

It is strong but uses a precious crew slot on your epic ship which you could instead use for more fighter support. FFG must have considered Zuckuss when they play tested the C-ROC. As already stated, you're just helping your single attack.

LOL

on the C-ROC its not broken but what happens when Scum gets a ship that that can shoot 3+ time like the Corvette and Raider. maybe that's when the nerf bat comes out

It probably doesn't get a crew slot

I would not be surprised that when the next scum huge comes out, it might have a limited amount of crew slots. Think about it:

- 4-Lom: if its an ordnance huge, energy is less of an issue

- Bossk: free target lock when you miss combined with a weapon engineer? Interesting...

- Zuckuss: already covered

- Dengar: free rerolls on every attack? Yay!

So maybe they will step away from the traditional model and offer only 1 crew slot. The nerf bat might not need to come just yet.

The C-ROC has only one attack, unlike several ships out there. Also, they made the ship for him. So as some have mentioned, unless Scum gets a lager epic with Crew he's probably going to be there because of the design.

What am I missing here? How does the CROC throw away stress from Zuckuss?

Huge Ships discard focus, evade and stress tokens when assigned to them.

Oh. Is that immediately or at the end of every round?

Immediately after they receive them.

Alright then. So Zuckus on the C-Roc allows him to use his ability without keeping the epic ship stressed then?

Correct.
