Hey, they all had rough, sandy, dusty starts to their miserable lives.

I guess you have a chance if you're from Phoenix.

Premise: I think it'd be impossible to buff all the TIE/ag and TIE/fo and RZ-1 and M3-A and N-1 and Z-95 and suchlike of the game enough to make them playable, without making the game prohibitively toxic.

Implication: While they aren't problems in themselves, stuff like generic Inquisitors and RZ-2s and TIE/sfs probably need nerfs.

Second Premise: Generic Inquisitors, or stuff like the RZ-2, are the low-hanging fruit. It's a lot easier to say "This should cost a point more, given what it gains over the the RZ-1" than it is to point to exactly how much Vader and Soontir and Whisper and Obi-Wan should go up.

Implication: Folks are more mad about Obi-Wan than generic Inqs, but Obi gets the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and Inqs get the >:-{

Cheap turrets and token stacks look like acceptable power creep when aces don't pay their taxes.

I mean, forget the AngryHux memes. David Oyelowo is getting out of his Kallus costume; here comes Javert.

What's wrong with 7 naked phoenixes?

Oh, well now that I said it it sounds more problematic.

So you're saying expecting Kath to drop 15 points so I can make a better swarm is setting me up for disappointment?

This is why I enjoyed Jupiter Ascending more than Rise of Skywalker.

Speaking of sycks.... Tilted droid... is this the forums personified? Or is this reddit and we are K-2S0? (Also where is my illicit slot for this ffg? Why can’t I equip deadman’s on the obviously suicidal droid? #angryreact)

Does anyone know of a good Teroch replacement for Boba and Torani? Loving the the two as I kill time waiting for new FO toys, but Terry just dies to opposing R1 natties despite his faceoff and focus. Getting some Fenngaroo vibes of loving a high-aggro ace until I find myself lamenting and sighing upon the lost points on an inevitable blankout.

Also, R5TK is the jamming beam of droids. Which means he does have a use that triggered without listbuilding out of the way!: an enemy Serissu was R0 in bullseye, and only Boba could be shot at, so she shot Boba and scored a damage on the R0 tokenless scyk!

@FlyingAnchors scum illicits are a mess. ffg is taking the mechanic that supposedly sets it apart from the other factions and has relegated them to a gimmick best used in casual games.

Dark Sun surely has the resources and ingenuity to equip any illicit to any ship available to scum or at very least reduce the cost.

Coaxiam Hyperfuel is currently unusable by any scum ship. Inconceivable! #bringbackglitterstimasanillicit

Is there a ship that can equip R5TK and a tractor beam? Er... no reason, really...

What do you know, and how do you know it?

M3s currently don't have an illicit slot.

Maybe they'll get one with the Jan2020 update, but probably not.

Not currently.

Palob is obvious replacement if you want the token stealing. Otherwise, a swarm tactics Seevor. For more beef since teroch dies too much is possibly Kavil. Afterburn Talonbane with crackshot/predator can add some punch as well. Probably same lifespan as teroch though.

Palob Godalhi (40)
Moldy Crow (18)

Total: 58

Kavil (43)
Expert Handling (2)
Ion Cannon Turret (5) or Dorsel Turret (3)
