Right, Nym is not a thing at the moment in 2.0. However, with the rise of swarms the idea of putting a bomber with a Traj Sim on the table seems pretty sensible. How do you guys build him? What flies well with him?

My first ideas look like this

Quote

(48) Captain Nym [Scurrg H-6 Bomber]
(2) "Genius"
(5) Proton Bombs
(6) Proximity Mines
(8) Veteran Turret Gunner
(10) Trajectory Simulator
(4) Havoc
(5) Ion Cannon Turret
Points: 88

It’s a lot of points, far too many really. The immediate wingmates that spring to mind are Fenn/Teroch (requiring some trimming) and Boba Fett. I had some success with Boba/Nym in 1.0 and am wondering if it’s a viable archetype.

any ideas?

Traj Simulator is little bit too expensive. I would go for Boba Fett crew + Skilled bombardier: you can start in the middle of the map, putting Bombs in the way you expect enemy will go (seismic preferably).

It leaves you with more points for the rest squad to play with.

I have a list I did recently, basically just to put Nym etc. on the table and play some of the things that just sit on the shelf all day.

Nym

Trajectory Sim, Dorsal Turret, Vet Gunner, Genius, Proton Bombs, Prox Mines, Havoc

Basically identical to yours except with Dorsal instead of Ion Turret.

Played him alongside Serissu + Autoblasters.

Bossk + Hounds Tooth + Nashtah Pup.

Against AI it works okish, but yeah, its a lot of points on Nym. Trajectory Sim is expensive, but I found it to be quite useful.

Yep. Nym suffers from the non-Y-Wing bomber tax, and TrajSim suffers from the Punisher tax. I like to keep him cheap as possible: title/TrajSim/Dorsal/Protons *and* Seismics = 73 points. Maybe toss on Ablative Plating and Genius if points allow. Run him next to a lean Azzameen (Andrasta/Fett crew/Seismics/Protons) to really double down on the bombing and add some toughness. That leaves 27 points to either go whole hog on the upgrades on both of them - Ablative Plating, Genius, maybe a Rigged Cargo Chute, some Talents for Spice - or add a flying bomb Deadman Switched Binayre Pirate.

You can use other ships to carry bombs. Use Nym for his ability. Keep him cheap.

I've done Nym and a couple Y's. And man, it is so dull to fly. It was reasonably effective, but those dials are just so vanilla, and those ships can barely support even Scum's limited shenanigans. But yeah. Nym and a couple of bomber Y's...might be time to revisit that. Just for funsies.

I run Nym all the time and have a blast with him. He makes a great support piece.

I run him alongside Emon Azzameen (heavily loaded with bombs and Boba crew) and Cpt. Jostero (naked). Nym only has a dorsal turret and VTG, maybe a bomb, but no TrajSim. I have done well with this list, and came in 3rd at a local tournament.

How about

• Boba Fett
  • Andrasta, Proton Bombs, Prox Mines
• Captain Nym
  • Vet Gunner, Dorsal Turret, Proton Bombs, Prox Mines
• Captain Seevor

200 points.

OR

• Boba Fett
  • Slave 1, Prox Mines
• Captain Nym
  • Vet Gunner, Dorsal Turret, Proton Bombs, Prox Mines
• Captain Seevor

Leaving you with 7 points for either a bid or some talents.
