Before I start I will say that this list is for fun and not meant to be competitive, but I would like to optimize it.

2x quadjumper
Jakku gunrunner
Spacetug tractor array

3x m3a scyk
Heavy scyk
Mangler canon

94 points

The build it's basically meant to be aggressive with quad jumpers and give out tractor beam while the scyk fly from behind and lay down crits that get through easily. Focus fire on one ship until it dies. I have 6 points to play with, could maybe go with hlc on a couple scyk?

Victory is not the most important outcome. Enjoyment and excitement is the best outcome, victory is sweeter when it was fun.

Since you've got the points, I see no reason not to get 2x HLC. Throwing 4 dice at a target that's -1 agility will hurt and follow up with the Mangler for a critical.

Given the spacetug is an action, I can see this list being pretty effective against aces. Or at least requiring a lot of careful thought & flying to deal with

Could always up a couple of the Scyks to Veterans and stick on Adaptability, not sure the PS jump is worth all those points but might be worth a go, I still think HLC's are too much investment in Scyks even with the extra Hull

While I do like adding an extra ship I'm not sure if that's going to be as effective. That and I'm assuming the light scyk card will be in the cruiser when it comes out and I don't plan on getting it.

So I finally had a chance to squeeze a game into my hectic schedule. Played aagainst a list consisting of basic upsilon pilot with Palpatine, Kylie wren, the sensor that ignores obstacles, and the thing that let's you take actions before you check stress, echo with advanced cloak and maybe some other stuff, and pure sabacc with ailerons and maybe other stuff.

It was pretty quick and pretty merciless. I set a two wave front that was misleading. Targeted shuttle to start. Had quads come up middle and scyk up right. Quads cut back right and hit shuttle with tractor beam. Scyks ripped into it hard. It went down easily in two rounds of mangler fire.

My first quad took 2 damage from one crit (I always pull double damage on crits, always) from the striker.

Next turn I flip a bunch of k turns and segnor loops and catch a great shot at sabacc who's trying to flank, but my opponent changed his plan and used Aileron and barrel roll to escape all but 1 manager and takes 1 damage. I take another crit and double damage card from echo on the first quad.

I close in on sabacc and catch him with all but 1 mangler. He kills the quad with echo and then sabacc takes a beat down by the manglers and is destroyed.

Echo was trickier to track down, finally managed to set a trap around an asteroid and he bumped the last quad and landed on it. No action, no cloak, no shots to recloak, and echo goes down quick to the first mangler that rolled 1 hit and 2 crits.

So far 2-0 and I'm really enjoying this list. It had room for changes but I'm not sure where to take it . It has performed and flown well but I'm not sure how it will do against tournament competition. I'm not necessarily looking to accomplish that, but my success so far has me thinking about it.

There is a league tournament coming up and I'm thinking about using it there to see what it does. It's a hangar bay style tournament so I could have an out if the matchup looks bad.
