Ok so I started tinkering with Jabba, and I started thinking if you could pair two JM5k with torps and Glitter next to the YV-666 with the big man inside:

Contracted Scout (25)
Adaptability (0)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Extra Munitions (2)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Glitterstim (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

Contracted Scout (25)
Adaptability (0)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Extra Munitions (2)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Glitterstim (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

Trandoshan Slaver (29)
Jabba the Hutt (5)

Total: 100

I know this probably won't work all that well, but it might be fun to try... now to get my second Jumpmaster...

I like the idea of trying to get Jabba in there, so by all means fly it. Worst case is you lose a few games.

I'm not much of a Scum pilot, but I reckon most replies will be about how you'd get more economy from an identical third JM5K.

Jabba costs 5 points and is gaining you back at most 4 points of value.

Why are you using him?

I actually only realized this after posting, but thought one point wasn’t that horrible of a loss, but the idea was to hace glitter for both rounds of torp shooting and I was just trying to make a squad around Jabba, because I don’t see that much use for him. Boosk Ketsu can use him though...

I'm glad someone's trying to get the fat Hutt to the table. I've been struggling to come up with a good build that maximizes his value - the best I can see is something like this. It's basically 4 turrets - Z-95's to block everyone into a hot shot kill zone (b/c they won't last long!), use Palob to strip tokens and generally be a pest, try to save the Trandoshan's hot shots for when someone gets behind him/her.

Trandoshan Slaver - total 41 points

- Jabba

- Hot shot blaster

- Engine Upgrade

Palob Godalhi - total 29 points

- Deadeye

- Synced Turret

- Cloaking Device

- Stygium

Binayre Pirates (x2) - total 15 points each

- Hot shots

or drop Palob + switch out the Slaver's hot shot for Burnout SLAM and add this ridiculousness for a 1 point bid and stress:

Viktor Hel (total 30 points)

- VI

- Cloaking Device

- Stygium

- Stealth Device

- Vectored Thrusters

• Trandoshan Slaver (29)
  • Jabba (5)
  • Dengar (3)
  • Hotshot Blaster (3)
• Contracted Scout (25) x2
  • Trick Shot (0)
  • Unhinged Astromech (1)
  • K4 Security Droid (3)
  • Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

Basically you've got 3 ships that can shoot pretty well without actions and 4 extra debris clouds to drop on the field. Trick shot means they won't get much cover from them either. If I was buying the C-ROC I'd definitely be giving this a try.

I thought of something really similar to this but I let go of the idea because the 2 dice attacks from the scouts would deal little damage, but with trick shot it might a somewhat different story... and the idea of placing four more obstacles is ridiculously funny.

Your scout build does not make a lot of sense. If you want effectiveness in the build below Jabba saves you 10 points, makes the Headhunters very effective and prevents opponent from chasing the Transdoshan without risk. Have not tried it, but it looks great. Anybody tried it?

Transdoshan, K4, Jabba, Hot Shot Blaster (40)

Headhunter, Hot Shot Blaster (15)

Hsbs seem to be the best uze of jabba to me. On zs you can get 5 iirc or 4 or k fighters. Including one on jabba himself. But 'best' is a relative term...
