Since the launch of epic ships, we've had 2 for the empire, 2 for the rebellion and only 1 for scum and villainy.

If the intent is to have 2 epic ships per faction, what ship could be the next scum epic?

(I personally have no clue and would be happy with whatever arrives, it's just more target practice for imperials anyway /s)

People seem to mention a lot the Action VI but I honestly would prefer something else. Maybe something canon?

I want an in scale model of DJ’s stolen yacht from The Last Jedi. It works as an analog to the rebel transport. Unarmed support.

Said it elserwhere, but I'd like to see the Sorosuub Luxury Yacht 3000 as Scum's 2nd Epic ship.

Firstly, it's canon.

Secondly, it could give us Scum crew cards for Lando Calrissian, Mara Jade, Hondo Ohnaka and K'Arymn Viraxo. Along with a plethora of potential gambling-themed titles, including the Lady Luck, High Roller, Raw Deal, Fortune and Glory...

Thirdly, while both the Rebels and Imperials have both a transport and corvette class epic ship, there's no reason why Scum has to follow that precedent. The factions don't need to be uniform.

Finally, it has a swimming pool on board. Water sports are probably one of the few things the game doesn't include at this stage.

My first choice is still the Action VI, but your arguments are very persuasive. I'm almost on board with the Yacht.

Action IV would be fine as well from my point of view; Big Score and Wild Karrde titles, and Talon Karrde is conspicious by his absence so far.

Another point in favour of the Yacht, though - you could have a Twi'lek Dancers team upgrade card.

I want the Star Jewel. Jabba’s personal ship. I don’t even care we already have him in the game.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Jewel

Could be remade canon in the new Solo film depending on what Disney does, it is in the right size range for a corvette class, and could have a couple hard points, multiple crew slots, and could have the docking feature of the Gozanti on it, but for z95s (or maybe scyks if we want gameplay before fluff). Could include an alternate paint job for the z95 mini and a new title that makes them 10 point ship spam at the base ps1 level.

Price it lower than a raider or cr90 with two hard points and a primary (maybe?) and ps3 or 5... 3 to match the Gozanti or 5 if we want it to have an edge over the bigger and more armed corvettes. Maybe cr90 cost if it has the docking mechanic and shoots up to 3 times (2x hardpoint and primary).

Spam Z-95s with Jabba-ed up Hot shot blasters...nom nom nom!!

Am I boring for wanting the Gauntlet "fighter?"

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Marauder-class_corvette

This beautiful thing. Make her like a raider but -all- forward guns even the aft mounted ones.

Oh and docking clamps cause apparently she had space for some snub fighters in her.

I really hope it is a Hammerhead plus a blue Y-Wing.

It will most likely be Scum though.

Well, in that case, there is still one more Gozanti variant to field:

There are so many option for Scum that I would Like to see: The Star Jewel, the Wild Karrde, the Mararuder corvette.

For the long haul, I would like to see 2 things:

1. Multifaction Huge ship releases. If it is going to be a year or more between Huge ships, they need to be way more flexible for cross-faction play . Something like the Corellian Gunboat, with cards for all three factions to use it.

2. An emphasis of small-Huge vs. large-Huge ships. Again, the 1-card Huge ships are more flexible and lend themselves more to "easy" Epic play than the larger ships.

Having said that, a huge-Huge ship like the Nebulon-B would be awesome!!

Another point in favour of the Yacht, though - you could have a Twi'lek Dancers team upgrade card. Twi'lek Dancers (Dual sided card)

Hmmm. They could either be a distraction or inspiration for the crew . If they were injured the crew might even want revenge.

Twi'lek Dancers (Dual card)

Team upgrade 2 points (Scum Only, Limited)

Side 1: When attacking, roll one fewer die. After defending, if the attack hit, flip this card

Side 2: When attacking, you may change all of your focus results to hits. After you perform an attack that does not hit, flip this card.

And the upgrade wiggles. Nice touch.

I don't have a favorite, but these threads sure do make me miss the fact that I don't have that old, yellow "essential guide to vehicles and vessels" book anymore.

Twi'Lek Dancers

Scum Only

When attacking, you may cancel all of the defender's (focus) results

Team, 5 points

Because that wouldn't be ridonkulous alongside Twin Heavy Laser Turret, Zuckuss, Maul and Supercharged Power Cells at all .

This please, its canon, synergizes well with the smaller fighters, could have a boatload of mandalorians upgrades/crew/teams and even possibly a huge ship barrel roll or boost!

If they want to say forget scum for awhile because they are strong enough then we need a Corvus Raider re-skin with ability to be Rebel or imperial and launch up to two X-wings/TIEs. Come with dual faction crew/pilot cards for Del/Iden. Now that would be awesome.

Minstrel-class space yacht , better known by the Star Jewel . Its about the right size for a larger Epic at 160m compared to the CR-90 at 150m. Nicely armed and potentially could be a corvette sized carrier for Scum as it could carry six starfighters.

Also looks sharp.

Oh, I should have tossed that in the July 2018 Expac of the Month

Also surprised this has not come up yet:

First pick for me is the Action IV because I really want the Wild Karrde. Talon Karrde would make a fun crew and we could get a new Mara Jade crew plus made have her as a pilot for accompanying small base ship (in this case, likely a Z-95).

The Luxury Yacht would be a fine addition as well, again with Mara Jade and a Scum Lando.

Now, with how the C-ROC is, I do feel the next Scum Epic should be more combat focused like the Corvette or Raider, which makes something like the Maurader-class make more sense. The Kom'rk also fits this mold, but due to behaving unlike other Epic ships in the shows, I'm very iffy about this being the right call for it.

The Action VI is Canon.

It appears in Episode II and got identified as Action VI in a Disney Canon book.

Now that is an absolute tragedy.

The only thing I can say that might console you is that Wookipedia exists.

I had no clue O_o' Just Googled it and I see why I never spot it before. Still falls a bit on the obscure side of ships IMO. Thanks for the heads up though

It still fits better than the Gauntlet. Ugh. If it is ever made, it should be a large ship. Rescale it if you have to, it looks stupid anyway.
