4 Shuttles, OGP + Engine Upgrades. 100 pts. If your opponent can manage to do 40 damage by the end of the game you were going to lose anyway

In a 60 or 75 minute format, I am now 5-0 with three or four fast shuttles (shuttles with boost). But I have yet to have a full win. They sort of have a similar issue with a Jonus-enabled four bomber squad - amazing alpha strike, then they break formation and struggle to seal the deal. I think with more flying time I can squeeze some more out of them, but for now in a competitive environment I just don't quite think they're there for me. Crazy fun to fly though!
