By Wookiee_Slayer, in X-Wing

So how about scum gets its own new shuttle: Introducing the Scum Sheathipede

It's brown, it's uggly and it's a tiny bit different than the rebel version.*

I have seen very good mods and repaints of the recent Phantom II. They nailed it btw.

Now I am not saying that we get this in wave 14 or even wave 15 or 16... but eventually this would be nice :) . Maybe with a sheathipede-only title which the rebels could use as wel?

Instead of an astromech it would ofcourse get an salvaged astromech.

*(The brown and ugly is obviously a joke, i dont want to offend anyone)

Scum Aces 2 (or three) might include the pilot cards, or even include a repaint along side the Scum Falcon maybe.

I dont think the scum version would include a mech slot, that’s something added for the Phantom crew. Perhaps the scum bug will have two crew slots and allow Jabba to slime his way into a cheap carrier. Make Bib a Pilot!

Just because a ship could be used by other factions, it doesn't have to be.

If the rebels have an "iconic" ship of a certain type, we shouldn't just force another faction in, just because we can.

I think it’s almost more iconic for Scum; we first saw it as a CIS ship, after all. That’s the kind of junk Scum would be scavenging.

I'd like it, but the Scum version would be way less good then the rebel version; it's a support ship, and Rebels have great support Astromechs, Scum don't have support trashmechs.

How is CIS = Scum?

There is not one scum ship that is CIS made.

Mandalorians aren't CIS, not really. Hutts aren't either. The z-95 is republic. Nothing used by the cis is used by scum.

I'd have to have rock bottom expectations to believe scum would get more repaints rather than new ships

Oh but your right! It is rock bottom, thats why I believe it could be years before this launches.

maybe Jabba could come into battle in something like this, forget the lore and the fact that jabba wouldnt fit in this thing :P .

For this cases external payload racks exist. Too bad the 'Pede doens't have some.

I would like to see a Scum YT-1300 first, as long as it isn't that new Solo one that is apparently flying around. I know I like to get all expansions but if that ever comes out I am boycotting it. If I ever do get the expansion (as a gift) I am keeping the cards but blowing up the model.

Don't like the added bit(s) to it? I imagine it will be part of the next wave based off timing unless FFG doesn't want 3 YT-1300 models out there.

Ignore the ''no weapons'' (we can fix that XD). These droids were rogue no? rogue = scum; droids = CIS; droids = rogue; therefore CIS = scum

Speaking as an Imperial.

You don't want a shuttle. Stay as far away from those things as you can.

3x YT-1300s definitely feels like too many. But then I foolishly avoided buying HoTR because I didn't want to deal with trying to store a second Falcon. Ended up eBaying/trading for most of the salient bits eventually...

Of course, FFG could be nice to us and realize some people are going to have 3 of the bloody things and give us 3 copies of the cardboard and pilot card for a sub-34-point generic in the box. I'd be surprised if it was uber-competitive but it would be a nice gesture to let people be able to fly all 3 in a single game.

It could give us Kalani crew, I'm for it. Put it in the same wave with the Freemakers :)

Cad Bane in Xanadu Blood.

But you are right, the CIS ships ended up as rag tag capital ships for rebels mostly (Fortressa) or just junked. Even Grevious’ Fighter was stolen by the ‘rebels’ at the dawn of the Empire. It would seem to me that Uglies should be made of droid starfighter parts cobbled together with Z-95s and Y-wings, but I guess TIEs and X-wings are more marketable.

Why is it that when the Rebels get a TIE and everybody has a melt down, but then wants to see Scum get a version of every ship in the game?

Han Solo the smuggler in a YT-1300? Scum.

Partisan X-wing? Scum.

(Darth) Maul? Scum.

Especially since a Scum release is again breaking the tournament scene. . .
