Got an oddball list tonight based on AoE damage, and not actually hitting your opponent. Yes, this is a Saturation Salvo list. Alright, laugh all you want, as that is part of the fun. The concept is based on Captian Jostero, Saturation Salvo, and Munitions Fail Safe. The object is to shoot a ship using Harpoon Missiles and actually miss with the missile. Munitions Fail Safe stops the Harpoons from being discarded. Since the target lock wasn't spent, and ship likely took damage, Captain Jostero get to shoot again using Harpoon Missile.

I also decided to put to AoE based teammates to make a squadron. The list is:

AoE Scum

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Trajectory Simulator (1)
Havoc (0)

Torani Kulda (27)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Unhinged Astromech (1)

Captain Jostero (24)
Saturation Salvo (1)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Scavenger Crane (2)
Guidance Chips (0)
Munitions Failsafe (1)
Vaksai (0)

Total: 100

So this ain't as much of an AoE list (Okay it uses it as more of a means-to-an-end sort of thing) but it also carries Saturation Salvo along for the ride!

Roll in with Bossk, taking a TL. Fire the Cruise Missiles, choosing to only roll a single die, using Dengar as needed to force the miss. Now, not only do you have potential splash damage from Saturation Salvo, (which you can repeat due to Failsafe) but you also then trigger the whole double-tap shenanigans using IG-88B's ability & Gunner paired together, again with Dengar rerolls assisting with accuracy.

Saturation Salvo kinda makes sense on Jostero. I don't know if I'd "intend to miss," per se. I mean, you've got a fair number of potential other triggers for his bonus attack, and the best-case scenario is you do both a full-damage shot with Harpoons and a full-damage Primary weapon attack. However, SatSalvo is free, as are the Scavenger Crane and Munitions Failsafe to make it more than a one-time trick, and it's a great sort of "gunner" effect, contained in one ship.

Meahwhile, I'd knock Torani Kulda down to Dalan Oberos, because I want those 2 points back. VI/Unhinged on Dalan could become Deadeye/Overclocked R4/Guidance Chips. That's a style thing, sticking with VI is probably fine at his PS.

Those 2 points would give Nym an Autoblaster Turret. It's not a tonne out-of-arc coverage, but I think it's worth it with PS 10 and a barrel roll. Also, I think I'd try to put Long Range Scanner on Nym, instead of Guidance Chips. Could go either way, though.

This is hilarious. I love it. I love the creative use of "I will actively try to not hit you" missiles/Munitions Failsafe. I don't know how competitive it will be, but it seems super fun.

I don't think you need the Crane on Jostero here. I would either leave that empty, or use Ion Dischargers/PRS if you want to spend the points. Same with GC. You don't want to hit with the missiles here.

For Torani, definitely keep her and keep VI, she has great synergy with Jostero. UA is also a good choice. I would consider not using Harpoons, but including Enforcer and Contraband Cybernetics.

I like Nym.

So here's my suggested edit:

Jostero

Sat Salvo

Harpoons

Munitions Failsafe

VT

Vaksai

Torani

VI

Enforcer

Unhinged Astro

Contraband Cyber

Nym

VI

TLT

Havoc

Bomblets

TS

Most of the rounds, Jostero was getting a second attack, either from his build or from Nym.
