w/e, same points apply (w/ ensnare youre 70-80pts) - theres a reason 2 real ships and filler works in, like, FO or Empire where at least one of the real ships is like 50-60pts and the filler ships are more or less self contained - but not really anywhere else

Whether we like it or not, filler is going to fit in this list. Jango is going to be cheaper than Boba, and likely won't be stacking up to 108ish points like him. Lets guess a decent build of Jango to be at 90ish points + Ensnare Fac at 73 = hypothetically 37 leftover points.

I was having a play with list building today, I thought would I be run out of town if I ran Sun Fac, Jango and what ever else could fit? Purely speculation again, but I thought about 2x Int 6’s and could it work?

I don't know why more scum players don't run Han/Dengar/Fenn. There's plenty of room for all their favorite toys now and I feel like 6-6-6 is way stronger than 6-6-something

There were a lot of Boba lists that ran three if I remember right. Usually using Nom Lumb or similar as filler and dropping Fenn for Teroch or something... Memory is faulty now.

I wonder if Greivous, 0-66, or DBS-404 would fit in the role, depending on points left. It's all about trading up.

Han didn't used to be in Hyperspace, and just got a big buff, too. There's time yet.

Han just isn't good. Even with the significant point reduction, he just doesn't get mileage out of him. He's typically run at about 60 points with upgrades, right? For that, I'd take Fearless Teroch in Hyperspace, or Adv. Sensors 4-Lom in Extended, or if I could squeeze it, a naked Guri. Or some M3A's/TIE's.

Teroch isn't Hyperspace.

Han is more for control and harassment I think than anything else. He makes your opponents avoid stressing themselves and avoid rocks. Hotshot Gunner can help cut through token stacks or Greedo can punch on hull. Nom Lumb with Dengar Gunner might be a better buy though.

I forgotted. This makes me sad.

This I definitely agree with. He should just rock Hotshot Gunner, orbit the board, and call it a day.

But for some reason, people see him as a threat and will ignore better parts of your list to go after him. Folks need to learn when they see a Scum YT-1300 in their opponent's list, that it often isn't worth the points to shoot at. Hit the rest of the list because they are worth more, and will often hit harder.
