4 shuttle List

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

Well what are some thoughts as to flying 4 shuttles. It's 40 hps with a solid 12 attack.

Big fan of the theory behind it. Its like 4 X-wings until you have to turn!

An Omicron with an engine upgrade costs 25 points.

Omicron (21)

-Engine Upgrade (4)

So you can run four with Engine. I've never seen it done but definitely looks intimidating on paper.

insanity! My not go full blown crazy and drop the engines, grab 4 APL and vader

"You NEVER go full retard!!"

If I were going to run multiple shuttles, I might go for something like this:

  • OGP, FCS, Gunner, EU
  • OGP, FCS, Gunner, EU
  • OGP, Vader
  • Academy

The Buzzsaws strip the shields fast, the Doom shuttle drops some sick crits on them, and the Academy pilot gets out front and does what he does best: be an action-denying pest. And probably die horribly and quickly.

Here is the thing with the shuttles you could get a couple of good turns of sitting on the board edge with engi upgrades turning because very do able. I think this could work and I need to pick up 3 more to make my dreams come true.

Though running

1- OSP with engi, ad sen (28)

3- AP (36)

Leaving 8 for fun and excitement.

That's one way of looking at it

I've been tempted to do the 4x OGP + EU for a long time. I have the shuttles for it. I might just go ahead and do it soon. :)

i'd be very interested to hear how it fares. I've been interested in that list too, but I don't have enough cows to fill out that herd.

Please run that and give a report soon

Been looking at picking up a fourth space cow mainly so I can run 4 blues with the advanced sensors, but running 4 cows could be fun. Could even drop the engines and pick up an Academy to cover their collective asses

With 4 zooming space bovine you should be able to always have one covering the rest if you do it right.

I decided to try this one for fun the other day though.

Ended up against:

Luke + Swarm

Wedge + Swarm

Red Squadron

Gold Squadron

And only really lost one because I felt like blasting instead of setting up to leave. Still with 3 shuttles surviving it was mildly amusing. Might have to try it a bit more, get that up to 4 surviving.

someone ran it last night at FFG game center, dont know if hes on here. he said "4 xwings went in and none came out." sounds like he lost 1 ship vs the 4 he flew against.

what I want to see is 4v4 shuttles.

Very interesting, though I think it would have a hard time. Basically it's four x-wings with lots more hit points, and no maneuverability. You certainly could win if keep your enemies in your sights...but that is the whole issue right there. You would have to be flying much MUCH better than your opponent to pull it off. You are going to be incredibly predictable and have a difficult time reacting.

It would be very interesting to see flown well though.

I feel like I could beat four shuttles just with my asteroid placements. lol They are beasts and once something gets behind them they are toast without support. If I knew I was running up against 4 shuttles, I think I'd take 4 B-wings with Adv. Sensors as my answer. Or, to prove a point, 3x Green w\ PtL+ Concussion and 1x Green w\PtL
