Just a petty grievance, but I kinda' wish the Binayre Pirate in the conversion kit was switched to a more thematically significant scum faction; like Shadow Collective, Pyke Syndicate, or Crimson Dawn etc.
We have the Hutt theme ( cartel 'x'and hired guns etc.) and Black Sun. Would be cool to round that out a bit more with some more canon flavor.

They are relatively obscure, but then Kath Scarlet (their boss) is a fairly common Scum pilot.
I think it might be fun to toy around with the idea of a scum vs scum casual game. Like, the fragile alliances within the shadow collective broke down and it's an all out gang war. We can sort of do a Hutt Cartel vs. Black Sun now.
Indeed. I wasn't too much of a fan of the generic Khiraxz being a Hutt Cartel pilot, though - the Khiraxz is generally more of a black sun ship.
The other hutt fighters (medium M6-C Dunelizard and superheavy M22-T Krayt) are probably way, way down the list of things we're likely to see, though.
They look cool, Kath is badass and binayre = "coming from the double worlds Talus and Tralus" is a fun pun. What's not to like?
I don't get the unhappiness. Like before, they will surely have a higher PS generic. That was Black Sun before. This way, you get the professional criminal pilot and you get some scrub bush pilot that is part of a pirate gang. Also, Kath Scarlet's ability is much more attuned to her role as a pirate leader of these little Z-95's. It's pretty cool that you can build her pirate gang and it's actually effective.
I am surprised they don't have any Pykes for any of the ships. They have the Hutts and Black Sun, but no Pykes? Or should I say....not yet?

Those do look fantastic. I just think the faction ( lore-wise ) doesn't seem that thrilling or substantial. Plus, wookiepedia makes it sound like some of them are 'false flaggin' the Black Sun colors. That's kind of a biatch move in the underworld. That would Probably get them pimp slapped ( or worse ) by a real G lol.
I just think that the conversion kit is coming out at a time when more established syndicates are now known and more relevant in canon lore. Even the Crimson Dawn is a thing with the release of Solo.
Edited by AmbigatosYes, but you can always have your Init 1 scrub, but then use the higher Init generics to be the actual gangsters.
You leave my Banana Pirates alone!
