So everyone's been buzzing about Captain Nym, but does anyone have any good build ideas for Sol Sixxa? His ability definitely looks fun and I personally can't wait to try it out.

I think it would be fun to run Sol and Emon. Bombs everywhere!

maybe Sol with Bomblets, advanced sensors, title and genius, and Emon with Cad Bane, Slae 1 title, 2xProximity or 1 Prox and 1 Cluster, extra munitions.

Lightning Reflexes plus R4-E1 looks pretty hilarious, as you can drop a bomb after any maneuver on Sixxa's dial, and even do so after turning a white or green maneuver into a k-turn or sloop. R4-E1 also pairs nicely with Experimental Interface to let you drop a bomb after barrel rolling in position, then drop another bomb next round even if you didn't do a green to clear the stress.

Sixxa/Emon looks fun as a combo. They might be a bit vulnerable as a two-ship list, but if you shave your points just right, you can squeeze in Sunny Bounder as another blocker and gun.

Kinda wish it was banks rather than turns though

Sol Sixxa can slap himself with clusters lol

How so?

Because he doesn't actually hit himself with clusters mines and his ability.

Interesting...that changes my list building a bit

When dropping a bomb, you may use the ( 1) or ( 1) template instead of the ( 1) template.

So where exactly in the wording of his pilot ability does it say he ignores his own bombs...... Nym does yes but not Sol Sixxa

A large base ship would hit himself, small base clears it. Makes him very scary running side by side with another ship. Add in an ABT and you have some very frustrating broadside potential.

i may have to try that, but i think it will still hit.

Sol sixxa and Nym are a fun pairing with sol tossing out a mine to his side to block a lane and get some evades from it while both plink away with tlt's and bombs.

So my rough draft as of now looks like this:

Sol Sixxa (28), Accuracy Corrector (3), ABT (2), R4-E1 (1), Cluster Mines (4), Proximity Mines (3), Extra Munitions (2), Lightning Reflexes (1), Havoc (0)

I checked it last Thursday, can confirm Sol can drop clusters beside himself and not hit himself.

Sol Sixxa can also run Bomblet and Genius, if he drops the bomb using a 1 hard and then barrel rolls the other direction he clears the explosion.

True, but I'd prefer not to be locked into using my action to save myself from my own bomb

Sol with Genius and Bombletts is definitely more thematic. Fly in quick, bomb, and roll away. Meanwhile Nym just dodges the shrapnel/blast wave...somehow

I have also tested Sol Sixxa with Cluster Mines. He does not hit himself. The Cluster tokens are thin enough and the 1-hard is long enough that it's a non-issue.

Too bad I only own 1 Scurrg.....

PTL/EU/AdvaSens/Genius.

Boost/BR or BR/Boost, Drop Bomblets with 1 sharp, then take off.

Or, Move, Drop Bomblet with 1 Sharp, and Boost and br away. Super fun!

Not entirely sure about running PTL on the Scurrg. The dial has just enough red and not enough green.

You're not, you still have options. The thing is you're only paying slot cost for Genius and Bomblet is a deal at 3 points reusable. You can still bomb drop before your maneuver, or if you have an ABT and really want to stick it to someone you can drop the Bomblet after maneuvering and take a Focus, eat the bomb with your 10 HEALTH, and fire an ABT at someone in range. EPT to taste. Fangs will learn fear.

Have a look, I've used some precious FFG forum attachment space for this

Beat me to it ?

Well, knowing that, i think i can run this list then and be a total prick lol...

Sol Sixxa 28
Lone Wolf (2)
EM (2)
TLT (6)
Clusters (4)
Clusters (4)
Proxies (3)
Cad Bane (2)
LRS (0)

Captain Nym 30
Stay on Target (2)
Extra Muns (2)
TLT (6)
Clusters (4)
Clusters (4)
LRS (0)
Havoc (0)
Minefield Mapper (0)
R4E1 (1)

Total: 100pts

Totally just a completely off the wall list. Mapper 2 clusters out to sorta control the opponent's approach while Sol cuts off choke points.
LW on Sol since he's EASILY the more expensive target so its an attempt to keep him alive a bit longer w/ defensive reroll
Nym's ability adds an evade whenever i defend through a rock...both my ships...
TLT so i can keep my distance and still shoot.
LRS because otherwise empty slot and if i dont want to bomb i might as well take a TL
Nym can reactively drop mines on people with Stay on Target + R4E1

Will it be amazing? probably not. Will it be hilarious? Oh yeah lol

edit: Yes i have that many mines btw lol. Only 3 cluster cards but i have acrylics of them for repeats.
