Is it me, or is the Escape Craft severely undercosted? In a few practice games flying Boba, Fenn, and Outer Rim Pioneer, the Escape Craft did serious work with the red coordinate action. Boba was never at a loss for focus (or double focus) or boost, even in heavy traffic. A coordinated boost for Boba at I3 was especially good for setting up Veteran Tail Gunner shots vs. generics. Fenn is less in need of coordinate due to his linked actions, but it was helpful for focus on red maneuvers. The dial on the Escape Craft is just fine for clearing stress, especially flying next to a big threat. My guess is that the Escape Craft can’t be beat as a third ship in a three ship Scum list. It’s a very capable support ship at a filler ship price.

I assumed I could fly this ship without the “mothership” in the list, as you can with the Attack Shuttle. But at 12-26 points, I’m wondering if there are some list building rules with the Escape Craft that I missed. Rigged Energy Cells mean that Lando and the drone blow up eventually if undocked, but L3 and Outer Rim Pioneer seem so good that it’s worth taking the Falcon just for the Escape Craft. Any more info on the list building rules here?
