Nym is a lotta fun which I feel is necessary when playing with such an overpowered and imo fairly dull ship as dengar

I like his ability but goddamn he's too good for his cost

Cruise + plasma is nasty, bombs are more for tech

Yeah, my advice is also to play worse ships. Worse ships are better.

You are simply the worst, aren't you? What purpose did that serve? Nvm, you don't care anyway. Git guuuuud ?

ITT: 2 nubs arguing.

I prefer not to deal in absolutes. It served the purpose it was meant to serve. The best purpose.

Maybe stop derailing the thread? If you want to talk about which turret to put on Nym, go start a thread entitled "which turret to put on Nym," which, incidentally, might be worth some consideration; I mean, a year ago, how many people would've put Autoblaster on Miranda? But then Nand did it and got second at Worlds, despite conventional logic. Sometimes it's worthwhile to try new stuff, and sometimes the old stuff really is just better.

On topic: there are a few contenders. Nym is the new hotness, but if he gets caught out of position, he'll die fast. Fenn and Dengar won an SC a bit back, if I remember right, and that list had the benefit of Advanced Proton Torpedoes in all their glory. I feel like Asajj would also be a good choice; who do you go after, the offense or the defense?

Asajj could work. The now apparent standard of expertise/K4/unhinged on Dengar and then a PTL/Latts/gyros Asajj would leave enough room to have a plasma torp on that Dengar still (while you still can). If you want EU for Asajj, then not so much.

Ketsu might work too, but putting VI/K4/EU on him means that if you were going with that standard expertise Dengar, you wouldn't have room for Ketsu's title. You'd have to either drop K4 off one of them (probably Dengar so Ketsu can still get mods), or switch expertise to something cheaper. Ketsu possibly taking 2 agility off a ship before Dengar gets to fire at it could be brutal and probably worth having the title over more dice mods.

Going to try a synced turret in my next game, thank you for the inspiration!
