Scum: Can I make something out of this?

When playing x-wing I have focused on other factions, but I have some Scum ships. As I have joined a league, I dont want to experiment with a new faction from scratch so I have searched for suggested lists on the net, but I always seem to miss something essential.

So can I make a decent list out of this collection of ships?

1x Hounds Tooth
1x Fang fighter
1x Quadjumper
1x Shadowcaster
1x Slave 1
1x Millenium falcon
1x Escape craft
1x Mining Tie

quadjumper and firespray have taken pts bumps recently so harder to make a squad from.

fenn + boba + escape craft would be solid.

old t/boba+slave1 title+trickshot+qi'ra+rigged cargo chute+seismics/lando+tactical officer was played by Paul Heaver in recent extended event.

Han/title/trickshot/hotshot gunner + fenn + L337/tactician + capt. seevor (197pts) is also a good place to start. could put jakku gunrunner in place of seevor or add trickshot to seevor.

I like Ketsu. Ketsu and Boba fit very nicely due to both being ini 5. This is quite heavy on upgrades...

Ketsu Onyo (70)
Fearless (3)
Maul (11)
Rigged Cargo Chute (4)
Shadow Caster (6)

Boba Fett (86)
Trick Shot (2)
Perceptive Copilot (8)
Proton Bombs (5)
Slave I (2)
Total: 197

Trimming down the points to include a support craft is possible though

Ketsu Onyo (70)
Fearless (3)
Shadow Caster (6)

Boba Fett (86)
Trick Shot (2)
Slave I (2)

L3-37 (Escape Craft) (26)
Tactical Officer (2)
Total: 197

The plan is the same for both lists. Keep Ketsus mobile arc pointing forward and get those tractor tokens coming. Ideally using her pilot ability, so she can benefit already from the weakened defense. Otherwise shot first with her so Boba can benefit. Moving ships can be viable, too, to deny arcs, move them on rocks or move a bumped ship into range one so you can shoot it.

Using the escape craft coordinate can open the door to more aggressive flying of Boba. Coordinate a reinforce, then fly blue on Boba to get a focus, makes him quite tanky especially when in range one of several enemies.

Great. Would be fun to try Boba Fett and I see you find uses for both the Quadjumper and the Falcon.

I guess the Hounds tooth is usable if I manage to get some games with my son :)

Hounds tooth genetic with Lando crew has some legs I was told

Large base ships are harder to build around right now because most ppl r bringing at lest 4 ships against you. Shadow caster has a great dial and han falcon is cheap so these two are preferred over hounds tooth by most scum players. Until someone wins an event with a scum big ship ppl r going to shy away from them.

I have flown against this list a few times and it can be a nightmare. Boba uses swarm tactics on Seevor and you lose a token when he shoots at I5. Old Teroch shoots Torps on the way in and also denies tokens when he gets there. Boba is always solid, especially when shooting at things with no tokens.
Boba with Swarm Tactics, Qi’ra, Seismic Charges and Slave I.
Old Teroch with Fearless and Proton Torpedoes.
Captain Seevor with Trick Shot.
also Ketsu with Fearless, shadocaster title, 4 LOM crew and static discharge veins is a beast. I run her with Old Teroch and Talonbane Cobra but Not sure what you could use in his place.

You can make a nice Scum Aces list with the Falcon and Fenn. I had one that looked something like this put together a while back:

Customized YT-1300 Light Freighter - •Han Solo - 91
•Han Solo - The Corellian Kid (54)
Trick Shot (2)
•Qi’ra (2)
Perceptive Copilot (8)
Rigged Cargo Chute (4)
Engine Upgrade (7)
•Lando’s Millennium Falcon (6)
Agile Gunner (8)

Fang Fighter - •Fenn Rau - 71
•Fenn Rau - Skull Leader (68)
Fearless (3)

Escape Craft - •Lando Calrissian - 37
•Lando Calrissian - Smooth-talking Gambler (29)
•Tobias Beckett (2)
Shield Upgrade (6)

Total: 199/200

As an aside, this is a Hyperspace-legal list, if your league is focusing on that format.
