Well, the obvious one is that you forgot to put autoblasters on 4-LOM... on the other hand you could drop his marksmanship and give him the advanced sensors that should pretty much be stapled to him.

Contraband Cybernetics. At 2 points each, these are really worthwhile on just about every Scum ship with an Illicit.

To free up some more points use the best kept scum secret: zuckuss with 4lom crew. When you pop Soontir at range 3 you’ll cry tears of joy. 😜

Hete is my two cents worth.

If you dont put adv sensors on 4LOM, elusive is the next best thing. Keeps him alive a bit longer.

This is intriguing!

Edit: I only realized after...I can't give up IG-88D Crew...otherwise the Starfighter doesn't get the Brobot benefits

I posted this in the main thread... what about something like this?

  • IG-88B: Marksmanship, Autoblasters, Contraband Cybernetics, Titles = 70 pts
  • IG-88C: Marksmanship, Autoblasters, Contraband Cybernetics, Titles = 71 pts
  • Tel Trevura: Marksmanship, Autoblasters, IG-88D, Contraband Cybernetics, Hull Upgrade = 58 pts
  • TOTAL Points = 199

The thought, and limitation, is all pilots are I4 and Tel get his natural revive. I have not put this on the table or through a sim so I have no idea how it would actually do. As everyone has already said the weak link is obviously Tel in the JumpMaster. Thoughts???

I put a hired gun y wing with my Aggressors. It probably rides about same as the Starfighter. I liked the list.

I am still miffed that StarVipers lost their illicit slots!

Wasn't the Illicit only on the Virago anyhow?

Yeah I remember that, too

True. But I miss it anyway.

Yeah, LOM should 100% have AdSen imo

So IGB is your endgame.

Cloak him right off the bat.

Keep him at range three of A for the engage.

Feed A a free calculate from B and dare them to shoot your 6 agility with Lone Wolf.

Hit em hard with A until he's dead (then DMS hopefully gets a hit or two).

B uncloaks and runs around with Lone Wolf and probably a stealth device still up for the last 15 min.
