Thoughts on escape craft in combination with IG-2000:

The IGs are quite fast, the escape craft is not.

You can use it as a token bank, but then you used your action, which could be a (red) coordinate.

Honestly, I prefer to run my brobots pretty bare.

Add jamming beam, it costs you nothing

I actually run them with the jamming beam. I just forgot to add them when I made this list haha

Typically in the list I posted that uses the Escape Craft, it hangs back and keeps doing the red Coordinates and then a blue maneuver. The Tactical Scramblers and Stealth Device on it actually allowed it to roll evades pretty frequently, as long as I kept it out of the main battle - at least that was the case in the one game I used it.

So I’m still conflicted

I’m down to these two lists

Palob and droids

(68) IG-88A
(0) Jamming Beam
(1) IG-2000
Points 69

(66) IG-88C
(0) Jamming Beam
(1) IG-2000
Points 67

(40) Palob Godalhi
(4) IG-88D
(18) Moldy Crow
(2) Engine Upgrade
Points 64

Total points: 200

or

Revolution

(66) IG-88C
(1) IG-2000
(0) Jamming Beam
(10) Advanced Sensors
(5) Juke
(3) Seismic Charges
Points 85

(68) IG-88A
(1) IG-2000
(0) Jamming Beam
(10) Advanced Sensors
(5) Juke
(3) Seismic Charges
Points 87

(26) L3-37
(2) Tactical Officer
Points 28

Total points: 200

i think my love of Palob is clouding my better judgement

I’m not a big fan of juke because of it’s new price point. I also think it’s not worth it on an I4, without a build in ability to get the token. In many cases you’ll be forced to spend the token.

I played this list. Surely it’s not super competitive but fun to fly

IG-88B (65)
Crack Shot (1)
Advanced Sensors (10)
Ion Cannon (5)
IG-2000 (1)

IG-88A (68)
Crack Shot (1)
Advanced Sensors (10)
Ion Cannon (5)
IG-2000 (1)

Lando Calrissian (Scum) (Escape Craft) (29)
IG-88D (4)

Total: 200

Everyone is at I4. Lando can coordinate or calculate to spend one of his tokens afterwards.

I encountered many situations where my opponent had to spend his focus/evade, to not get any damage. This triggered the Ion cannon which ionized his ship. 2 Ion cannons can really do some work with B’s ability.

2 of these with 4-Lom is interesting but you can’t afford A and C really.

I think 4-Lom prefers A @ B as his buddies, due to his ability to get extra calculates, and also having a Cannon slot for that sweet 0p Jamming beam
