    It looks surprisingly balanced for a Scum ship. Difficult to line up but rewarding bullseye mechanic, low AGI ace-like ship. You'd ideally want PTL + EU for re-positioning, but higher PS is often needed against real aces. Huh, imagine that, a Scum ship that actually takes some brainpower to build/fly and doesn't just automatically win against everything. That's why it won't see play, because of Scum players who are confused that it's not OMGWTFBBQ OP.

    I think they're just plain better than any other missile. My current obsession is testing out Kylo + Harpoons effect. IE tag someone with ISYTDS, Harpoon them, then resolve a crit with someone like RAC Palp. That's two damage under shields (one which is a crit you picked out), plus the damage from the Harpoon initial, plus splash damage (if any), plus the damage from RAC. It seems pretty huge to me- it's a giant buff to RAC + Ace as they're main weakness was multiple ship lists. Works with RAC+Vader, QD, or Vynder.

    So the original leaker was right on 3 counts, wrong on 3 others.  original leaker was absolutely correct about slam and jumps, and i was wrong. 

    they obviously werent completely making it up, though they oversold their actual knowledge. I still think they were immature and harmful to the community, but I do not think they are a liar and apologize for calling them one.

    Well done, all jokes aside- we'll stop ribbing you now. I'm of the inclination that the leak was probably a really early stage incarnation of nerfs- thus the incomplete nature of them. I'll agree that it probably didn't help the game out- it led to a lot of finger pointing and rampant speculation. However, it might have helped in that it showed how badly the game needed an FAQ and what a bad shape the game was in.

    I thought imps were the best faction before the nerf, now I think they are the best even more so.

    I agree. Depending on what you mean by 'best'. If you mean 'best' as in the sexiest, the schwiftyiest, the soul-n-funkiest, then you are correct. If you mean that pre FAQ they were the most competitive, or most likely to win a game, then no......no they were not.

    I think it's been put on a brighter path. A new shadow will eventually come, but such is life. 

    I'm afraid the next shadow is Adv Sensors PTL Kyloceptor. Jesus that thing is going to be a nightmare to fly against. I'm all for giving Imps love, but I'm worried that's way too much in the 'cancer' category. I'd like Imps to have some 'blank slate' ships with lots of upgrade slots that can be built in a variety of ways, and perhaps some Imp only type of upgrade. Kylo is going to be NPE to the extreme I'm afraid.

    Gunboat however looks fun as **** and decently balanced to boot. Going to be good, but not too good.

    Rebel player here.  In my first tournament I learned how powerful the drug known as BIGGS is.  I got hooked and pretty good at tight, organized, super-sexy range one formation flying.

    So, BIGGS is being taken away, which is good, but now I need to learn how to NOT fly in formation - but still fire all my guns together on that first turn.

    Any tips you can give me?

    If it helps, here's the list I'm looking to fly: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v4!s!263:19,243,128:54:25:M.-1,M.7;135:27,243,128:54:6:M.7,M.25;255:27,-1,126,243,-1,-1,237:53:25:U.186,u.117&sn=I'm the Captain Now&obs

    Play a bunch of high PS imperial aces for practice- there's no better way to embrace the chaos of 3 aces all doing their own thing than flying Imps! I suggest aces with all different dials- try out Quickdraw, Vader, Countdown- god dang that list will make you a better flyer.

    The incoming FAQ, sloppy though it may now currently be, certainly changes some things for us crafty entrepreneurs. Our time at the top of the mountain may be past, for the moment. The others may eclipse us for some time. As such I have a simple proposition for dedicated Scum and Villains: take this gracefully. Lets prove we're the better than the others by leaning in, not whining about every damned thing, by earning every victory with cheap tricks and base cunning. Lets shame them with our exemplary behavior, win or lose.

    I intend to. Join me.

    Yeah, join this guy in actually having to EARN victory from now on! That'll show everyone! (It actually will).
