VCX and Scurrg

By Fort Defender, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am trying to come up with a VCX and Scurrg list. Is it worth doing? The group of players I play with only use the big powerhouse ships (Last week was bro bots or double vcx). I was thinking:

Hera Syndulla (40)
Fire-Control System (2)
Synced Turret (4)
Finn (5)
Intelligence Agent (1)

Captain Nym (Rebel) (30)
Push the Limit (3)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Havoc (0)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Accuracy Corrector (3)

Total: 100

Any changes are welcome.

Interesting Nym choices. If you are using the ABT/Corrector combo, I might use VI rather than PTL to help guarantee range. That could still leave room for bomblets; it might be safe to drop the Missiles.

That might make for an interesting Hera:

Hera

Navigator

ABT

Accuracy Corrector

(Up until now this is the famed and hated Heragator, basically means you only really need to fly against PS7+ opponents, as otherwise damage is guaranteed and you can choose last minute where to end up.

Sabine (Applicable to bomblets or:)

Cluster Mines

Both ships become a potent toolkit with lots of tricks, and guaranteed damage.

I like the concept but I think your list is trying to do too many things. If go this route:

Hera Syndulla (40)
Fire-Control System (2)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Navigator (3)

Captain Nym (Rebel) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cruise Missiles (3)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Advanced Sensors (3)
"Genius" (0)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Havoc (0)

Total: 100

Advanced sensors is so much better than accuracy corrector on Nym, even post-nerf. Extra munitions give you 2 opportunities to bumper-bomb and advanced sensors can help you dodge blockers and drop the bomb after if necessary.

The synched turret and Finn are a direct clash. If they're in the primary arc, you'd always be better off using Finn. The turret's special ability would only come into effect out of the VCX's rear arc, which frankly isn't worth paying for. I also really do like Finn on the VCX but it either needs to have the phantom docked or have Rey to store focus for when you bump. Finn is too expensive on such a big ship with predictable movements to be wasted getting jammed up or turning away from blockers via Hera's ability.

So I would suggest using Hera in her best role--as a kite. TLT is the best turret and compliments her ability well. She can alternate between fleeing and trying to juke pursuers while Nym mixes it up at close range; and then blocking high PS aces while Nym picks them off with cruise missiles.

Actually, Genius now explicitly prohibits bumper-bombs. You do have the post-move drop available IF you clear the maneuver, but even then, you only get to do it once for "free".

I do wholeheartedly endorse Advanced Sensors, though.

Oh that's right, don't have the new FAQ fully internalised yet, obviously.

Maybe:

Hera Syndulla (40)
Fire-Control System (2)
Synced Turret (4)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Sabine Wren (2)

Captain Nym (Rebel) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cruise Missiles (3)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Havoc (0)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
"Genius" (0)

Total: 98

I still think you're trying too hard to fit bad turrets into the list. Also, Sabine without bombs?

Sabine is for the bomblets. Which turrents would you recommend? I have everything but the TLT.

I would say forget Hera and go with a bombing Lothal with the points saved. Ion Cannon isnt a bad option to setup good damage and keep those wookies at bay.
