Go for it.

But.

I kinda think the classic build (* see below) was better.

  • Maul is incredibly good, and 0-0-0 is really solid, mostly because they leave your actions open. You can do stuff like Boost more easily, or get blocked, and still have mods. Perceptive is great, but only if you take a Focus action, and the flexibility of Maul and 0-0-0 to take focus or locks or boosts or red moves is really handy.
  • Rigged Cargo Chute from Koshka to instantly trigger her ability is really strong.
  • Prox Mines can be strong when they work, but Proton Bombs seem easier to land.
  • To that end, I'm not sold on Marauder/Bombardier. It's a lot of points, and Koshka already has a few potential sources of rerolls. Her ability is often enough (which circles round to 0-0-0 and Rigged Cargo again).
  • On a 2 ship list, having the extra health of the Hull Upgrades are pretty good.
  • The talents aren't bad, but are pretty position dependent and expensive.

I know it feels kinda bad to just copy a list rather than putting a unique spin on it, but with something like BoFrost that was as tested as it was, put through a lot of experimentation by strong players, I think it often deserves some benefit of the doubt.

Again, change whatever you want. But it's good to have a clear idea in your mind why you want to go with something different. Cut Contraband Cybernetics for Prox Mines instead of Proton Bombs? Might be a lot of fun, sling those mines. But like, Maul is just so much better than PerCo.

Thanks for the advice. Where can i get the rigged chute template? I fit the card but the template wasnt on any of the conversion kit i bought.

  • Lando's Millennium Falcon Expansion
  • Never Tell Me The Odds obstacle pack
  • 1e Shadowcaster AKA Lancer Expansion
  • maybe the trade thread onhere:
  • eBay
  • If you want one that's pretty but isn't tournament-legal, places like Curled Paw Creatives on Etsy sell acrylic ones.
