Panic 217 1,857 Posted June 2, 2016 probably allows any ship to get the IG-2k effect on a non aggressor 6 Marinealver, ArbitraryNerd, Comradebot and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbok 9,878 Posted June 2, 2016 In the article it says you can upgrade a ship to gain the effects of other IG-2000's in your squad, so yeah that's pretty sweet! Oh how can this break the game? 3 Hrathen, dewbie420 and UnfairBanana reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe it's IG-88B, since like you said his ability doesn't cross over to other ships as much as the others would. 1 Vorpal Sword reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe it's IG-88B, since like you said his ability doesn't cross over to other ships as much as the others would. I think it would be without a letter since it probably just grants you the IG-2000 title ability for your ship. so you will be able to use the ability of whatever IG pilot you are flying with. 1 Stoneface reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonza 199 Posted June 2, 2016 In the article it says you can upgrade a ship to gain the effects of other IG-2000's in your squad, so yeah that's pretty sweet! Oh how can this break the game? Manaroo is going to be able to give away evade tokens if you pair her with IG-C + and engine upgrade. She can also give a focus or lock if you have PTL on her. Not gamebreaking, but that IG is gonna be hard to kill. 1 charlesanakin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ficklegreendice 34,363 Posted June 2, 2016 which is why it's kinda bunk because no ship uses IG-88b's ability better another aggressor and not flying ig-88b isn't really an option Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AEIllingworth 1,135 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Scum ships with Crew Slots: HWK, Firespray, YV-666, G-1A, Pursuit Craft. We don't know much about the Pursuit craft yet. IG-A could be interesting if swarms are a thing. IG-B could affect YV-666, Firespray, and G-1A (if you really want that tractor). IG-C could affect any that you put engine upgrade on. IG-D wouldn't help any of them, I think. I'm already considering a PtL 4-LOM with engine, he can constantly have 2 evade tokens. That'll make 8 hp last a while... Edit: Forgot the Jumpmaster! Manaroo can get evade tokens! Still no one can use D, because it specifies a 3 speed Segnor's. Edit 2: Now my dream StarViper fix is a crew slot.

Space Dragn 192 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) A Moralo YV-666 with IG and Bossk crew paired with IG88-B finally doesn't need to equip the Gunner card anymore don't know how useful that is but definitely interesting. oh the endless possibilities, what a joy!

Gungywamp 12 Posted June 2, 2016 HWK with IG88, Engine, TLT, Juke paired with IG88C? I'm thinking not worth the points, but it sounds like fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
withallyourpower 14 Posted June 2, 2016 I feel like IG-88A will get some more play with this crew--I'd be just fine with gaining a shield for every kill on one of my heavy hitting ships Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Okapi 1,463 Posted June 2, 2016 I like the idea of Boba with VI, IG-88 and Engine Upgrade, flying along side IG-88C. You'd lose the Gunner effect of B, but Boba deals with Aces much better than IG-88 does. 3 PhantomFO, davidhaus and Vorpal Sword reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InterceptorMad 2,008 Posted June 2, 2016 Ah yeah, my old fun-but-not-that-great IGB and Kath/Boba list got a little boost. Kath/Boba could now cannon, or primary from either arc, whiff, then cannon from the primary arc at the same/diff target for (hopefully) less points than gunner.

Mangipan 695 Posted June 2, 2016 I'm really interested to try a PtL Dengar build alongside C. He's a good ship that's lacking the right Wingman at the moment, maybe this will be what he's waiting for. 3 kopmcginty, Bonza and spacebug reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegionThree 419 Posted June 2, 2016 Zuckuss favorite crew member, double tap that tractor beam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budgernaut 6,255 Posted June 2, 2016 I like Zuckuss with IG-88 crew paired either with IG-88B or IG-88A. With B, you can attack with your awesome primary attack and if it does not hit your opponent, you follow up with a Tractor Beam attack, hopefully now that they've spent their tokens. This also sets up IG-88B for a powerful attack of his own since the target is at -1 agility. With A, Zuckuss' superb offensive firepower will help him regen shields. In this build, I'd keep A pretty slim and try to fit a 3rd ship in. 2 Ob3ron and LegionThree reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DailyRich 3,346 Posted June 2, 2016 I'm guessing it's IG-88D. There's only one other crewed Scum ship that can do an S-Loop, and that's the Jumpmaster, which only has one on its dial. So copying IG-88D's pilot ability has fairly limited usefulness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
