What is the scum X-Wing?

By Mackaywarrior, in X-Wing Epic Play

Hey folks! So I just got a Croc and have seen some GREAT ideas for builds. Now I need to decided what fighters (or freighters) to bring. Normally I fly Rebels so what is the main fighter for scum? Below are some of the ideas I have had for some fighter builds:

Black Sun Ace (23)
Crack Shot (1)

Black Sun Assassin (28)
StarViper Mk. II (-3)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Ruthless Freelancer (23)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
"Light Scyk" Interceptor (-2)

I like the Vaksai (formerly known as the Kirhaxz). Like the X-Wing, it's still a bit weak, but it's tough enough to deliver a nasty alpha and then do some dogfighting before it's used up:

Black Sun Ace
Kihraxz Fighter (28)
Vaksai (0) Veteran Instincts (0) Cruise Missiles (2) “Hot Shot” Blaster (2) Guidance Chips (0) Pulsed Ray Shield (1) Munitions Failsafe (0)

Vaksai/kiraxh fighter is the scum x wing really. And in epic they really shine.

I like the black sun ace deadeye/vi scavenger crane concussion missile with chips and failsafe.

Comes to 27 pts each and they can spit 4 dice for days in epic.

Run jabba in your list and supplement them vaksai with like all the z95s with hotshot and munitions failsafe for insane illicit usefulness

Vaksai!

Swap Concussion out for Harpoon. Splash damage really shines in epic. Especially with kihraxz where chips guarantee you get a crit.

You're not wrong. I think I only had those there because I had my 2 harpoons on other things in the list I pulled the build from
