So, I'll hold my hands up and say, I bought scum ships without really thinking it through.

I bought Most Wanted thanks to the new Update that gives explicit permission to use the new dials with my Rebels. I then bought the Starviper because, well... I really like the ship.

So, that's left me with a proper Scum and Villainy fleet.



Except, well, as I was originally content to let them pass me by, I had done pretty much no research whatsoever on the faction and now I've got a fleet. Next thing though, is to try to build a squad out of them.

This was my first attempt:

Boba Fett + Predator
Guri + Bodyguard
2 Black Sun Soldier Z-95's.

Goal should be obvious, hopefully. - Get up close with the enemy fleet. In fact, I'm half tempted to drop down to Binayre Pirates and give Boba Anti-Pursuit lasers.

Anyone got any alternative suggestions? Maybe a Azzamean, Y-Wing bomb fleet of doom?

Y-Wings with turret autoblasters should be interesting to see, if not in Scum, at least in rebel fleets.

Personally, I may be running a combo Empire/Scum fleet sometime in my future (bounty hunters?). Whether or not the rules allow it.

I wouldn't count on it if I were you.

Dace Bonearm and Kaa'tos Leeachos are both bounty hunters. Fly them alongside Boba.

Dace with Predator, Flight Instructor, Ion Cannon
Leeachos with Ion Pulse Missile and bodyguard
Boba Fett with Recon Specialist and Push the Limit

Start the game by stealing a focus from Dace and shooting somebody with the pulse missile, then stressing for extra damage. Green Maneuver, then once you're in range, chip a focus to Kaa'tos to Bodyguard Dace every turn and shoot with the Ion cannon and stress for extra damage. When Dace finally bites it, Leeachos attaches himself to Boba, either taking an evade to keep himself alive (he'll be on his last legs) or taking a focus and re donating it to Fett in the form of +1 agility.

I think Bodyguarding was Kaa'tos true purpose in life. Any high PS ship with PTL that doesn't want to die can use him. Scyks and Starvipers and even the HWK and Firespray
