I flew my Nym + Jake + Miranda fleet that I posted earlier last week and I gotta say that the Scurrg is already on my list of reliable ships right beside the K-wing.

While the autoblaster + accuracy corrector combo worked well when I had the chance to use it I found that the scurrg is maneuverable enough I often wound up with a range 1 shot with his primaries. In the first round I used the turret's garunteed 2 hits to melt a shield-less inquisitor that had a evade token and later on Nym managed a range 1 4 dice shot on Rexler Brath, I got 3 hits and a crit, he rolled poorly and only evaded 1, i took his last shield, and the crit was a direct hit. Ended up melting him right there though not before Rexler tractor beamed Jake off the field (he was flying along the edge and I got greedy and chased him with Jake).

Jake Farrell and Intensity were a match made for each other but due to points I couldn't fit him with another talent to give him more punch, in another list I feel like PTL or Juke could give Jake the power he needs to inflict some damage but intensity alone isn't enough to make him a super threat though it does make him a god at arc-dodging. I got lucky in my second fight and came away with all 3 of my ships, Jake crawling along at 1 health after taking a enemy Ghost's autoblaster turret, after that I wised up and kept him at range 2 and it was easy to wear them down after that. (One of them accidentally K-turned off the field after I had already put 6 damage cards on it).

Genius on Nym was an okay choice but I feel Scum Nym utilizes him far better than Rebel Nym can, still it made my opponents more than wary and caused lots of area denial, I even tricked a few of them by flying Miranda close to the bombs, having them chase her thinking I would keep the bomb from detonating and then letting it go off anyways, then Miranda can regen anything she lost.

I only lost my third fight in the torunament and it was against a Scum Nym and a Emon. They were both pretty fat and had a lot more bombs than I did, I manage to burn Emon up before he could get more than 1 cluster mine off but at that point his Nym had a TLT and my Nym was helpless to return fire and Miranda couldn't chip him down fast enough and regen herself at the same time.

I'll definately be bringing him back next week, minus jake and probably make him and Miranda both fat as well as try out Minefield Mapper.
