I intend to fly my next championship with this squad and I would like suggestions on this team being competitive or not.

Scurrg H-6 Bomber: •Captain Nym (49)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
•Havoc (0)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Extra Munitions (2)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
•Bomblet Generator (3)
Accuracy Corrector (3)
•"Genius" (0)

Jumpmaster 5000: •Dengar (49)
•Punishing One (12)
Wired (1)
•Maul (3)

Total: 98/100

I would really consider swapping engine upgrade to TLT on Nym, I feel the BR is enough reposition on the jumpmaster, but I don't feel autoblaster is strong enough unless you are planning on meeting a ton of palp-aces..

I saw this really interesting Dengar the other day. I don't recall exactly what Nym had (I think it was Autoblaster, TrajSim, Bomblets, Harpoons, but I can't be sure).

However, Dengar was Title, Lone Wolf, Gonk, Experimental Interface, and Burnout SLAM.

Gonking your shields back up is pretty nice with his pilot ability, and you'll still get solid mods. Against a Ghost list? I wasn't watching the game, but the guy did beat a mostly-standard Lothal/Fenn. Burnout SLAM also seems pretty cool. Blast your way out, possibly even with the white S-Loop to turn around, and then you can still Gonk with EI. Seems like a nice thing to do when in trouble; having a turn pass with no shots on either side is something a regen ship almost always loves to see.

That does seem like a pretty cool Dengar, can you recall where you saw it? I would very much like to see it in action, my only worry is the only one focus for modifier. As for Dengar/Nym this is what I'm running right now:

Scurrg H-6 Bomber: •Captain Nym (45)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
•Havoc (0)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
•Bomblet Generator (3)
Trajectory Simulator (1)
•"Genius" (0)

Jumpmaster 5000: •Dengar (55)
Counter-Measures (3)
•Punishing One (12)
Expertise (4)
K4 Security Droid (3)

Total: 100/100

But, because I love Lone Wolf in Dengar I also want to try this:

Scurrg H-6 Bomber: •Captain Nym (45)
Engine Upgrade (4)
•Havoc (0)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
•Bomblet Generator (3)
Trajectory Simulator (1)
•"Genius" (0)

Jumpmaster 5000: •Dengar (55)
Counter-Measures (3)
•Punishing One (12)
•Lone Wolf (2)
Recon Specialist (3)
Glitterstim (2)

Total: 100/100

Nym runs because TLT allowing Dengar's Lone wolf to trigger easily.

In person at Epic Loot in Centerville, OH at one of their every-other-week Saturday tournaments. The player apparently does pretty well at larger tournaments, Jeff something maybe, but I can't recall.

I've tried Recon Spec a little. It didn't seem bad. Defensively, it seems like it has something over Expertise/K4, but it'd be slightly more limited offensively (1 reroll < all focus). The reason I think I might steal that Gonk build sometime is that I think it offers more than LW/Rec Spec in terms of pure defense. Is that true? Hrm. Using a focus on defense saves 1 damage at least, using an action to Gonk saves 1 damage at most (presuming you've got a stack from when you didn't need other actions). You won't always be able to use your focus on defense, but you also won't always have a Gonk stack. Anyhow, I guess it just appeals to me.

I think your list is very strong! However, I have been somewhat pulled around to this Dengar:

Wired

Maul

Punishing One

Which leaves room for Nym like so:

VI

TLT

EM

Harpoons

GC

Havoc

Genius

Bomblets

TS (leaving 4 points for illicit/mod on Dengar) or Adv. Sensors (leaving 2 points for illicit/mod on Dengar).

Basically your Nym, just with a better turret. Dengar like this is light and versatile. Plus, kinda fun and janky.

Nym was VI, Autoblaster Turret, Harpoon Missile, Extra Munitions, Bomblets, Havoc, Trajector Simulator, Genius, Guidance Chips.

That Gonk did work. He had to have gotten back 5 or 6 shields over the course of the game for my opponent. Maybe more. It's hard to be sure. Lone Wolf and a single Focus didn't hit as hard on some of his double-tap turns, but yeah. Regen is good.
