Not saying it will happen, but if Scum gets a Falcon following the Solo movie, what would be cool/appropriate pilot abilities for the scum versions of the famous trio? Would the falcon have different stats? What do you all think?

Considering we already have 2 Hans and 2 Chewbacca I don't know if we will get a Scum pilot.

Now as for Lando yes I can see him as a Scum since he played both sides in the movie. Clearly a neutral party unlike the other candidates. Say what you want about Han Solo being a "rouge mercenary" and out for the money. Throughout the movie he has always been on the good guys side.

That being said it is no secret that Scum is doing fine wihtout YT-1300. However if there was going to be a Scum conversion for one I would liek to see a Scum Lando with the Falcon stats, and as for the two other pilots and the generic they all get ORS stats. Make it more of a support ship with an okay turret.

I don't know how they would fix this now, but the added stats really really should have been on the title, and this could, maybe, be a time to remedy that?

Fun story: according to designer anecdotes, the increased stats originally were part of the title, but it was felt that changing that much stuff would lead to confusion in-game (and this was Wave 2, remember, so at the time it was a pretty valid point).

But....that would have made so much more sense, why...but complexity is not a concern now...

They should have.

X-wing 2.0 = Sabine Wing!

Sabine Falcon or riot.

I don't assume we'll see a Scum Millennium Falcon, despite what the Han Solo movie brings. Even if it would be thematically appropriate, from a design-space perspective S&V does not need a Falcon. It would already be competing with both the Lancer and the Jumpmaster, and each of those ships is far more efficient than the YT-1300 chassis, which looks embarrassingly weak compared to either of those scum platforms (and why it has been absent from the meta for waves despite both the Lancer and JM5K being strong presences). So either you'd have to severely powercreep the scum YT-1300 (which would upset Rebels and shine lights on the cracks of the game), or you give S&V a pointless ship they will never use over the Lancer/JM5k. So it'd be lose-lose.

Just do a Nym type of thing, rebel alliance Falcon with the Lando as Scum pilot.

Scum Lando - PS7

"After you execute a green maneuver, choose 1 other friendly ship at Range 1. That ship may perform 1 free action shown in its action bar."

For those paying attention, yeah, same ability as rebel Lando, but actually works in scum cause of K4 and Attanni mindlink. Dengar/Lando mindlinked. Lando moves, gets his K4 TL, gives Dengar a free action to focus who does his green for K4, then gets his action to focus or b-roll.

We don't need any more broken **** for Scum. If they get a falcon, they should get the ORS one. The ones who want it for flavor will take it, anyone else can **** off.
