Haven’t used this yet, just trying to tweak a fun casual scum alpha strike list. It’s very squishy but the hope is to hit them hard and hit them first, use that tractor beam to control engagement range and set up a big round or two. Everyone fires at PS 9, first serissu, then Fenn with the torps, then Talon with harpoons if you’re at range 2-3. If you can boost them into range 1 though, the hurt is really on. The hope is that defensive rerolls from serissu at least keep you alive to get two rounds of firing in with both the big guns.

Serissu (20)

Heavy scyck cannon (2)

tractor beam (1)

adaptability+1 (0) or VI (1)

Fenn Rau (28)

PTL (3)

Title (1)

Autothrusters (2)

Plasma torps (3)

Talonbane Cobra (28)

Vaksai (0)

Harpoon missles (3)

Predator (2)

Vectored Thrusters (1)

Autothrusters (1)

Engine Upgrade (3)

Glitterstim (1)

Comes out to 99 or 100 depending on whether you go with adaptability or VI on Serissu.

Generally you will either want to engage at range 3 if you have to, or boost/tractor into range 1 if you can.

Like I said, just for fun because it’s really satisfying to throw those 5 red dice. Open to suggestions for optimizing.

Fenn seems solid, as does Serissu - even if she doesn't hit hard.

I, personally, think PTL would be better on Talon. Otherwise I dig it!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I was really back and forth on that too. I think PTL could work well with that maneuverability build. Khiraxz dial isn’t terrible on greens.

Alternate durability build could be predator, pulsed ray shield, hull upgrade, keep the VT and glitterstim.

While I like Serissu on paper either Sunny or Inaldra with Ion (Attani on Talonbane) will imo bring more control than Tractor Beam as ioned Miranda/Nym/stressed sheatpeade are sad ships. It also gives u a bigger init bid.

Inaldra (15)

Sunny would be my choice

Well you’ve got me thinking.. ion still gives you an opportunity to capitalize on positioning. Unfortunately I don’t have the C-Roc expansion and probably never will, where all the best Scyck pilots are. Maybe the best of both worlds? Give Serissu an ion cannon, keep the defensive rerolls, and put Atanni mindlink on Serissu and Talon.

Talon could still use an action for reposition and have a focus to mod and you get some control and a little damage with ion.

If you were to drop Serissu at some point, I think that Ion Sunny would be better than Inaldra. But I don't think your Serissu was bad - I prefer tractor to Ion myself.

for the record this is my current list, m3a are super fun

Sweet! Looks fun, seems like a similar principle- use the scyck cannon debuffs to line up your heavy hitters.
