Drop Trooper with Demo Charge
|
Hey all,
I have a local friendly tournament coming up and I want to fly 2 ships, but I'm having a hard time finding a solid 3rd or 2 generics choice to fill the remainder. I could do like 3 Z-95 but meh I'd rather try something else.
Fenn Rau (PS9)
PTL
Concord Dawn Title
Stealth Device
Genesis Red (PS9)
VI
Heavy Scyk
Tractor Beam
Total points 58. That leaves me with 40 points ( will initiative bid at 98 points) What recommendations can you give for the remaining 40 points? Its a lot of points for 1 ship but not quite enough for 2... its a bit awkward.
I've though of and/or tried:
Decked out Zuckuss, Dengar with no title, 2 M3-A with ion cannons, and Kavil with TLT. and bombs
I'm open to thoughts or opinions! thanks!

Hurr! Ogryn Bone 'Ead!

You could go for a kitted out Contracted Scout, decent dial, and good amount of upgrade slots, without a title you've got 15 points to play around with stuff. If you go for Plasmas, Extram munitions, a K4 security Droid and unhinged astromech, expertise, and Chips, you've got a 38 point ship that's not too bad, so you can put those two points into something or keep a larger initiative bid.

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard. |

What FBP just said. I don't know how well Expertise will fare on a PS3 pilot (seeing as others can adjust to deliver stress reliably) but aside from that it is a solid proposal.

Noise Marine Terminator with Sonic Blaster

Kavil is a bit too high a pilot skill for bombs, but TLT or even Ion is nice on him. Or if you're wanting to be frisky and since this is a friendly tournament, I've found success running him with an engine upgrade and autoblaster turret and with a TLT Y-Wing with bombs in support.

[MOD]
Villanous Scum

I also suggest a toilet seat of doom, other thoughts are;
Manaroo.
Party Bus.
Bare Bones Assajj
One of N'Dru or Old Teroch along with Sunny Bounder.
If you can wait then wave 11 is now shipping so a Havoc built to taste.
If you are mad then try Guri!

Confirming the u-boat suggestion. When in doubt bring the overpowered thing, and u-boats are the most overpowered thing scum have right now (and arguably the most overpowered thing in the game). It won't be quite as nasty without mindlink abuse to bring your action economy to absurd levels, but the classic torpedo scout is still a good deal. And with the extra points you have you can even upgrade the u-boat to Manaroo just in case you want to pass some tokens.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

I've been running this recently with some success:
Fenn, PTL, title, Thrusters
Gen Red, VI, mangler, heavy title
Ndru, VI, concussion missiles, scavenger crane, guidance chips
Sunny bounder, light title
96 points. It's got one hell of an alpha strike. I'd recommend against tractor beam on Genesis as there are so many large ship builds around at the moment that you might find it redundant.

Thanks for the suggestions,
The U-boat is a solid option, and likely what I will go with. I'm not so sure on expertise, I wouldn't be surprised to see people negating that. I might just do PTL (gotta love that barrel roll) and Proton torp (most players are imperial usually).
Our local group meta doesn't do large ships or turrets often. I'm usually the one bringing large ships! So the tractor beam will likely be a solid choice.
Before the CROC I'd run serissu with tractor beam and VI. A PS10 Tractor beam is fuuunnnn! especially with Fenn around. I've pulled ships away from touching fenn, talonbane out of arc of fenn but I still had a range 1 shot, and forced ships to spend tokens only to follow up with 5 hits from fenn, its just evil and fun! hehe
