    I think you could drop Extra Munitions and Seismic Torpedoes from the Cutlass & get 31 points which gives you some more options. That fits an Inquisitor  (no ordnance) perfectly. Drop Expertise from Vessery and give him VI, then you can combo off Inquisitor's target lock and equip Inquisitor with Cruise Missiles. Fire with Vessery, then Inquisitor.

    The TIE/SF and TIE Aggressor expansionso will give you some good pilots and upgrades:

     

    Quickdraw and Backdraft. Even the generics are good. You'll want to run it with Lightweight frame (in the Aggressor or Stoker expansions) and optionally Cruise Missiles (aggressor).

     

    Kestal or Double Edge can be fun but you can run a TIE Aggressor generic with Twin Laser Turret (and Lightweight frame) at 25 squad points.

     

    Lightweight Frame and Unguided Rockets (Aggressor) also make great upgrades for the Bomber.

    Bumperooski... 

     

    So I've definitely grown bored of the standard 100/6 deathmatch.  So is anyone interested in doing other stuff?  Heroes of the Aturi Cluster (I have all the stuff), or Epic matches, or something else?  Lemme know.

    My HOTAC campaign fell apart a few months ago, and I've been looking for something different ever since then. I still enjoy 100/6 but don't like the (over) competitive meta much.

    Genius requires you to discard the card, so he doesn’t work with Bomblets or Extra Munitions.

    Wouldn't he work... once... with EM and Bomblet Generator? EM says to discard the token instead of the card. By that logic (not really serious here) you could argue that BG gets two EM tokens since it takes up two bomb slots. (You'd likely be wrong but you could argue it).

    Nym's ability to combine PS10 with Advanced Sensors, Barrel Roll, Engine Upgrade, Genius, Bomblets, and TLT/AB....directly caused the PS escalation.

    If FFG gave more thought to the implications of releasing this specifc PS8 ship combo we wouldnt be here. They generally have done a good job with this, although Rey at PS8 is a hard one to understand since her entite dial is already green and she has built in off/def rerolls.

    Other PS10 ships usually have sacrificed an EPT and limited themselves in important ways. Vader being the exception I can think of. That compromise is a really solid counter balance to the urge to putting VI on every Ace.

    But with Nym, PS10 means sacrficies nothing, you get to dictate the field and play single player 

    Nym's upgrade combos are Whisper levels dangerous and never should have been given a base PS higher than 7. Its why the Gunboat is capped at PS7 im sure of it. 

    PS7 is a big thing that keeps Whisper from out right owning the entire Meta. And as much as I enjoy flying Whisper its a good thing they werent dumb enough to make her an 8 like Nym.

    My solution would have been Nym at Ps7. Then maybe I could run Genesis Red again!

    Decent dial, slightly overcosted, high variance (green dice), underwhelming.

    Have you flown it much? I've gotten in several games and found it to be quite decent - it flies very differently from other TLT carriers. I've found the named pilots' abilities to be highly situational, but that isn't a knock on either the frame, or it's cost.

     

    No, it isn't meta-defining. And I'm more than happy with that. It's one of the more balanced designs I can recall seeing in a while.

    Only the Scum ship has Bullseye, which if you notice has a much narrower aux firing arc facing forward. My guess is if you're in it he gets additional mods (hits to crits or something)

    Now, an E-wing only Astromech which added that sort of ability (once per round!) would be pretty neat.

    Hera's ability won't work if you use leia's first. 

    Leia's wording is a little outdated. It doesn't say "must treat... as a white...", nor "may treat... as a white..." and I'd assume that you need to either pick one or the other: treat as a red, THEN allow changing to the opposite  (Hera), or (Leia) treat as White and no changing it.

    A Tie Shuttle with Operations Specialist could help to throw some more focus tokens around to fuel Intensity. Don't know if its actually worth it though.

    Or Major Stridan, for a themed First Order list.

    (Scum Nym): Havoc, Veteran Instincts,"Genius", Accuracy Corrector, Autoblaster Turret, Bomblet Generator, Cruise Missile, Guidance Chips, optional - Extra Munitions.

    Ram a missile down their throats on the approach then use VI, bomb, and turret for unblockable damage. Dodge firing arcs with barrel roll. Throw Cad Bane on another ship.
