Looking at running this for our champs on the 30th;
Captain Nym (Scum) — Scurrg H-6 Bomber 30
Stay On Target 2
Extra Munitions 2
Cruise Missiles 3
Bomblet Generator 3
Fire-Control System 2
"Genius" 0
Guidance Chips 0
Havoc 0
Ship Total: 42
 
Fenn Rau — Protectorate Starfighter 28
Push the Limit 3
Autothrusters 2
Concord Dawn Protector 1
Ship Total: 34
 
Quinn Jast — M3-A Interceptor 18
Deadeye 1
Cruise Missiles 3
Guidance Chips 0
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Missile) 2
Ship Total: 24

Had a couple of run throughs on vassal and it seems to work okay, the cruise missiles seem to really mess with peoples targeting priority (or people really hate Sycks). Stay on Target has been surprisingly useful to catch people with bombs thought about midlinking but don't think it serves as well. Thoughts?

People do hate Scyk, but it is also the squishiest of your ships, so no big surprise that it gets targeted first. If I could get rid of a target toting Cruise Missiles with a couple of bad green dice rolls, I'd do it in a beat.

By the way, what convinced me that Cad Bane was a good crew was our Store Championship (in which I placed third, we're doing top four in 2 weeks) where I was vying for first place. I laid the perfect cluster mines just in the path of a 3 HP HWK-290. Could not have done better. Triggers all three. He only got one damage... from Sabine. All 6 dice were blanks and eyes.

Supposedly, there is only a 1.5% chance of this happening.

Thoughts on a build for Nym (Scum)

Captain Nym PS8
Accuracy Corrector [3 Points]
Autoblaster Turret [2 Points]
Stay on Target [2 Points] or VI [1 Point]
"Genius"
•Bomblet Generator [3 Points]
•Havoc
Total 39-40 points

Ignores the bomb, and could pretty easily do 4 damage to a high agility ship, maybe get cad bane in one of his buddies.

I used Adv. Sensors, and AC is a better use of that slot. I could generally get at least one hit on my own or with a TL, but those 2 hits are necessary.

And VI will really allow you to fine tune your position.

I had Cad Bane on a Contracted Scout... it was "meh" I still placed 4th, but the games were grinds.

Apparently, Dengar and Nym are a good team.
