So I have been having a lot of fun with 4 ship rebel builds recently. All low PS and using cheap toughness as an archetype. Which leads me to scum. Scum has a lot of tricks to make their ships tough but generally these are stacked on top of already inherently tough ships. So same principle and it led me to this list.

Unkar Plutt

-Space Tug Tractor Array

Ruthless Freelancer

-FCS

Zealous Recruit

-Title, AT

ShadowPort Hunter

Very tough. The Zealous Recruit is a great blocker because if you miss the block, it just makes him more tough if someone wants to shoot into him at range 1. Freelancer is a tough firepower ship with FCS. The lancer parks the arc on the side and skirts around the side taking sweeping arcs and Unkar does his thing up close just generally being annoying for the opponent in much the same way Captain Rex is. I have considered the jumpmaster with this but my thought there is he gets in the way of the other three ships. The lancer can take those three banks and turs around the battle to stay in it but also clear up lanes for the rest to move. I’ve thought about upping the Zealous to a Veteran to have another PS 3. The few games I have played with this show that it is a lot of hit points and defense to chew through which means it grinds out victories pretty well. Interested in hearing other ideas for ships in a 4 ship archetype.
