What scum list would you recommend that can beat imperial aces? (if flown well).
What has scum faction got that is good versus imperial bombers/punisher lists with heavy ordnance?
My initial thoughts were to either use arc dodgers with a high initiative such as fenn rau and old toroch or something tanky that can survive an early alpha strike.

Remove their ability to make use of their weapons as I suggested here:
what about a swarm with Drea and quadjumpers and mining ties. Deadman's switches could be pretty annoying too, esp in multiples. You could use a section of the swarm as a kamakazi style force and the rest as flankers who hit at range 2?
If feedback array wasnt nerfed id consider that as a weapon vs whisper and soontir.
Edited by Da_Brown_BomberCheap Deadman's switches would require using Z-95s since the TIEs don't have illicits.

No idea if this would be decent. No int bid so whisper could probably take the list on her own.
Palob is needed vs aces. nee him in there over Guri.

It might not look like much on first sight but its a well balanced squad all around. I ve only lost one tournament game with it by own mistake.

And Jabaneticks on Scum Boba almost a combo from the past. I ve ended most matches with Boba having more than 5 stress tokens.
nice!how does it fare vs imperial aces? imperial alpha strike sqds?
i can see how that cloaking device would be very good vs ordnance.

imperial alpha squads are easy prey for Boba. Decloack forward and move 4 straight almost guaranties r1 or crashing on the leading guys. after that drop the bomb and let them go over it or break formation left and right of you to avoid it.
Aces are a bit harder if you are not used to fly YV-666. He makes a great blocker for trailing Boba and has the 180 arc that increases the chances of catching them in arc and focus fire with Boba on one of them.
