Hello, everyone! I've been playing around with the squadron builder and wanted to see if I could get some feedback on a list I've been poking at for the past couple days. I'm a big fan of Bossk and loved him in first edition, but I am not quite sure how to build him in second. The party bus feels like it needs a new set of passengers. At the moment, I am looking at using the synergy between IG-88D and Lando to give me more chances at making each hit land (and get Bossk's ability to go off). L3-37 seems like a good way to avoid a big hit and then make the bus gets a bit more maneuverable as the game progresses. Hound's Tooth (and Nashta Pup) and the Hull Upgrade almost feel more like filler at the moment and I am not sure if I am getting as much for those 10 points as I think I am. It does give me another go at killing off (hopefully) wounded targets, but its only a Z-95.
I paired Bossk off with Fett in hopes of putting something down that can handle larger numbers of enemies by mixing it up at close range and firing off attacks both forward and rear. I'm also hoping that, with Zuckuss and Lone Wolf, I could keep Fett flying further from Bossk (as I have a bad habit of bumping my own guys) and let him go chase down targets of opportunity and make sure they are put down. Though it makes me wonder if I wouldn't get better results using Slave 1 and an Informant to better figure out what those same kinds of targets are doing. Am I trying to make this guy cover too many bases as is?
One last idea: Is there a better partner with Bossk? I used to pair him off with Asajj in 1e and that seemed to be pretty good, but two big ships always makes me feel like my side of the board is crowded. Still, it feels like Asajj with Ketsu, Shadow Caster, and Heightened Perception would be a decent alternative to Fett at 1 point less. ****, should I be looking at trying to fit in two smaller ships, like Kihraxz or Fang Fighters, to fight independently of the big lizard? Any help is greatly appreciated!
