I've been running Thweek, Serissu with VI and tractor beam, and 2 vaksai BSAs. It's a good jousting squad and a great match-up vs FSR. Biggs is an awful Biggs if he's getting tossed out of formation with a tractor beam. R4-D6, draw their fire, and selflessness can do nothing to prevent it. And on the flip side, FSR lacks the consistent offense to really threaten Thweek backed by autothrusters and Serissu. Jess is the only ship that has the mods to do it, but she's also at risk of being PS killed.

Thweek with Serissu is totally a combo I will try soon. Thweek copying Biggs with Serissu rerolls at 3 agility is wonderful Scum awesomeness at its best. Fly right and to keep Thweek at range 3 means it's rerolls plus Auto-thrusters. I'll be trying flechette on VI Serissu to have a good chance at turning off my opponents Expertise. Flechette also is great at controlling Nym and Miranda too.

Flechette is a good call for Expertise and advanced sensors management definitely. I've liked tractor beam at PS 10 because throwing ships onto rocks is fun. Throwing ships into fearlessness range of a couple black sun aces is just devilish.

The dream is to put Nym onto the middle of a rock so he can't barrel roll or boost off with adv sensors. The dream of a lifetime is to watch him get cute with a bump 'n bomb. Only to roll him off and watch fearlessness go to work on 0 agility Nym.

Either way he's a pretty good match-up since I'll have 2 PS 10s to his one. If he gives me initiative (which he likely will to increase bombing power), then I've got first shot in the combat phase and can toss him wherever his turret and bombs are less useful. I haven't come across Nym yet but it looks good on paper.

Anyway, back on topic.

I also really enjoyed Guri, Fenn, Talonbane Attannied in a scum attempt at 3 aces. Guri is an insanely nimble blocker and lovely mindlink insurance. The only tricky thing is points are still tight and initiative bid is important. Talonbane can't go on a shopping spree just because he got the Vaksai credit card

Can't you use Adv. Sensors to get off a rock?

Not if your barrel roll/boost template would overlap it.
