This is something I'd like to use for S&V starting when the new ships drop (whenever that is)

Bossk (35)
-Calculation (1)
-Outlaw Tech (2)
-Dengar (3)

Zuckuss (28)
-Outmaneuver (3)
-Fire Control System (2)
-4-LOM (1)

That's 99 points. For the last 1 I'm considering Boba Fett on Bossk or the Mist Hunter Title for Zuckuss. I think Barrel Roll and a Tractor Beam is great but he won't out class/maneuver aces so barrel roll isn't as great as it could be, and while he'll have a target lock he'll be running without a focus or evade. Boba Fett on the other hand is powerful against many prominent lists for only one point. (whoops there goes Poe's astromech)

I'm not sure a G1-A is fast enough around the board to really take advantage of outmanoeuvre, but I guess it's not like you need rerolls with Fire Control system.

I'd probably take Mist Hunter, though. You're not paying for Barrel Roll - although it's nice if you have it; you're paying for an accurate, PS7 tractor beam.

With Zuckuss' ability, you should be able to reliably hit even fairly evasive ships, and dropping a target's agility by one - especially if you can tractor it out of range 3 - suddenly makes those two Z-95s far more than just bystanders and blockers.

Mist Hunter for sure, I think you'd get more use out of 4-lom on bossk. Outmaneuver and the k-turn may be more effective, but I see myself using evade as my action fairly often, so juke may save you a point as well if you want to try it. I think the tractor beam is there to knock the agility down, then blast that target with bossk for extra damage and hopefully the z-95s can finish it off.

I'm liking Dengar+Title+VI+Boba Fett+Unhinged Mech and 2 TLT+Unhinged Y-Wings. 98 points...letting you run the initiative or adding Glitterstim to Dengar. Second round of shooting and your pretty much ready to steal that annoying Palp or a regen droid or even Mirandas regen TLT.

TLT Y-wings are so blasé. I'm sorry but I'll never fly those damned things. Dengar is pretty cool as a pilot but his crew card is sick. And I think Tel Trevura is more interesting and the generic is certainly good for the points, but the requisite Punishing One title makes it difficult to fit (and uncharacteristic for anyone besides Dengar)

I must ask though, why would you take Unhinged instead of R4 Agromech on Dengar with no Push the Limit or other stress/action economy mechanic?

Also Boba Fett only triggers on faceup damage cards, so you must have a way to deal consistent Crits or some other way to inflict a faceup damage card such as Advanced Homing Missiles.

I'm the complete opposite. I can't wait to try two deadeye torpedo scouts with R4 and Torkil Mux. I am seeing less of a reason to jump to super aces and feel like finally your basic ships will be worth taking and even your middle PS ships will be good. I also can't waut to see the coat on the generic g1-a. New crew can make a Trandoshan slaver deadly.

juke

Hm. That's an interesting idea. Zuckuss+Juke+4-LOM. Zuckuss gets a red die and his target gets a green die, you deny a focus token for your attack and then change that green die from an evade to an eye, which can't be changed without a focus.

I like it.

I might also give the StarViper a try instead of the YV-666
