So...I have put in 7 games with this list (3 casual, 4 in local kit tourney):

Captain Jostero (24) w/ Deadeye (1) , Harpoon Missiles (4) , Contraband Cybernetics (1) , Munitions Failsafe (1) , Guidance Chips (0) , Vaksai (0)

Torani Kulda (27) w/ Veteran Instincts (1) , Harpoon Missiles (4) , Guidance Chips (0)

Captain Nym (Scum) (30) w/ Veteran Instincts (1) , Autoblaster Turret (2) , Harpoon Missiles (4) , Bomblet Generator (3) , Trajectory Simulator (1) , "Genius" (0) , Guidance Chips (0) , Havoc (0)

Total: 100

The alpha strike is like none other. Its just obliterates anything that dares joust it.

My losses have all come from dice failing me at crucial times. One game was against Jess and two resistance bombers. I alpha'd jess off the board (probably should took a bomber out but this was a test). Torani and Nym got a bomber to two hull remaining. And then four 4 rounds, I could not kill the bomber. Torani died, Nym FINALLY got the bomber, but then the other bomber eventually got Nym. This was a casual game and I think I win that game if I ran for last 5 minutes, but I played it out cause - casual

My two other losses came in the tourney vs Palp Aces. I alpha'd Palpshuttle off board in one round. Then later a bomblet erased Inquisitors shields, triggered a range 2 primary from Jostero who blanked out. Nym was range 1 with ABT and blanked out. Jostero fired at Inqusitor again and got 1 hit and blanks. This round was crucial in game as it would have been 3 vs 1 on Quickdraw. After eventually getting Quis, Torani and Nym where both hurting. Came down to last shot vs shieldless Quickdraw with Harpoon condition. I got 2 hit and 1 crit with Torani. Quickdraw rolled 2 natty evades. Crit goes through, plus harpoon facedown card, but crit isnt Direct Hit. If Quickdraw doesnt roll two nats, I win. Instead 32-36 loss.

Other loss was Poe/Fenn/Wes. Bomblet hits Poe for 1, Jostero launches missiles and drives a crit through on Poe. Next round I block Poe with Torani, Jostero is range 1 of Poe with a focus. Bomblet with Nym and he gets range 1 of Poe. bomblet blanks (if it hit, it triggers Jostero who had a range 1 with a focus token!). Nym fires abt and blanks out. UGH!!! Jostero dies. This was game. Poe runs and regens, I kill Wes, but its Nym vs Fenn and Poe. I had Poe right where I wanted him, everything setup perfect and dice!

After thinking about my losses, I think I am dropping Torani for Dalan to make room for Accuracy Corrector. Trajectory is nice, but many of my struggles come from hard to hit ships, and my dice blanking out when I have em where i want them. My wins in tourney were Poe/Dash and Asajj/Scout/Thweek.

Captain Jostero (24) w/ Deadeye (1) , Concussion Missiles (4) , Contraband Cybernetics (1) , Munitions Failsafe (1) , Guidance Chips (0) , Vaksai (0)

Dalan Oberos (Kimogila) (25) , Veteran Instincts (1) , Harpoon Missiles (4) , Guidance Chips (0)

Captain Nym (Scum) (30) w/ Veteran Instincts (1) , Autoblaster Turret (2) , Harpoon Missiles (4) , Bomblet Generator (3) , Accuracy Corrector (3) , "Genius" (0) , Guidance Chips (0) , Havoc (0)

Total: 100

PS10 was never really a factor in any of my games. Everything was 11 or 8 or below. Not many 9s in the meta currently.

Thoughts? Dalan doesnt seem that much of a step down. Torani's ability is nice, forcing token loss, but Dalan being able to barrel roll and target lock in bullseye is sweet as well.

Other options for Nym with Dalan list above:

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Seismic Charges (2)
Fire-Control System (2)
"Genius" (0)
Guidance Chips (0)
Havoc (0)

Now I have FCS that increase ABT turret, and Nyms primary. Gets rid of bomblets and their **** dice failing me at crucial times, and seismics guarantee Jostero Triggers.

Or this:

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Dengar (3)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Guidance Chips (0)

Back to crap dice bomblets, but have Dengar who helps versus rebel Fenn shenanigans and my ABT hits. Hmmm, what to try first?

The thing I don't like about Dengar is his interaction with Harpoon Missiles. The condition almost surely deals a face-down damage to the target, so it's not just the initial hit. If it was just the initial hit, I'd say swap to Concussion, since Conc+Dengar would hit pretty hard; harder than Harpoon with just TL. But that costs the condition. It really is a shame there is only one playable missile in the game of X-Wing.

Anyhow, seems like a neat list. I think the slim Kimogila is shaping up to be a really interesting piece for Scum to play with.

The thing about Jostero is, he needs mods on both attacks. I like Expertise with him. You could take the second list and trade Jostero's missile for Expertise. Then maybe a glitterstim rather than Contraband Cybernetics

Missile on Jostero is too valuable in this list. I fire it every game, and it kills a ship every game. After that he has done his job, and I can take time to set up strong double attacks with a TL and focus, or the enemy can waste time shooting him instead of my fragile expensive ships. Would love glitterstim! But no points for it. Contraband does its job though and has been very useful in many games. I am considering BMST so he is a threat to PTL aces like Quis and they target him more than my ps10'ers. Quis and Quickdraw were basically ignoring Jostero for a good while as Quis PTL'd and Quickdraw slooped like a madman.

I pretty much flew this list a little bit before giving up Jostero's Harpoons for Nym TLT. In retrospect, when I played at Houston Regionals, I think that third harpoon would have helped me beat triple wookies (i went 3-3)

I call the list Los Lagarto Capitans. It's a fun list. Cybernetics and bullseye arc won me 2 of my 3 regional games. Keep flying them!
