I soooo wanted to fit in Ruthless, but, alas... Not because it’s good. I’m just trying to make it work.

There's two on ebay for ridiculous prices. :p

If it makes you feel any better, I had to resort to ebay to get the alternate paintjobs for the kihraxz and starviper. I just ordered the very last Guns For Hire expansion available in Europe.

I’m hoping for Amazon crazy sale. I got a YV-666 for $6.90 and a quad jumper for $4....

But apparently there’s a national shortage of the little gunboats 😩 😩

4th Gunboat and 2nd TIE Aggressor are like the only ships I need. They pretty much just don't exist.

Sloane/Dauntless RAC is pretty cool. Burning down a shuttle isn't easy, but it's easier than burning down a Decimator. Meanwhile, RAC really loves to have rerolls while spending his action on Reinforce, so that's cool.

Ion Gunboats are always tempting, they just fly so weird. If they had a red 4K, they'd be amazing, which is why they don't have a red 4K.

I don't think I'd change a thing in this squad, it seems like it's the best version of itself. Now, maybe that's only a casual-night fun squad (probably...), but there doesn't strike me as anything to do with it that keeps something of the core idea.

I like the idea, but I wonder if the milage from Sloane is going to be worthwhile and whether people are going to go after the Nu's to make that usable.

I love gunboats, and actually I'm tempted to try something like this instead of learning to get good at Aces again, so I'm totally for the idea, am probably missing the execution you have in mind!

Honestly, Sloane came to me after playing around with Koshka...

It’s crazy how good she is. Little mini Boba on a budget. Now, granted there’s definitely plenty of builds that never stress. But there’s a LOT that do.

More interested in the passive effect than the double stress...
