I've been thinking about using the Decimator and Lambda together to maximize what they are designed to do.

The Decimator is a 360 Turret Arc Dodger. It likes to run.

The Void Bison likes to chase things and blow them up.

Why not maximize this by having a tanky Decimator and the Shuttle that trails it?

Here are some current Iterations I have and I'll post more later.

I will be working on a Kenkirk version and some Buzzsaw versions but I tend to prefer Dogfighter/Zoom Shuttles for their maneuverability. Also I think a 2 ship list needs the extra red attack dice of the HLC.

Kenkirk is the most survivable Decimator, he needs to be in here.

Here's a version with tank Captain Kirk

This is my favorite so far:

Imperial Assault Force: Darth Vader, Mara Jade and Moff Jerjerrod leading storm troopers

100

Captain Oicunn - Dauntless, Daredevil, Moff Jerjerrod, Mara Jade

Captain Yorr

Omicron with Darth Vader

Rational:

Mara Jade is amazing on any ship that is going to get close to the enemy. In my early tests with her I have been able to pass 8+ stresses in a game.

Moff Jerjerrod lets you know that you won't have to deal with any criticals that you don't wan't to have: blinded pilot, extra stress, etc... for the most part he is not there to remove the double damage crits but he can late game

Daredevil + Dauntless + Oicunn: this is expensive and causes 2 stress (making Yorr mandatory) but is A LOT of fun and really unlocks Oicunn's potential. Why take shots from enemy ships when you can slam into them? Furthermore it should almost double the surface area of his ability per turn.

Yorr: Dauntless and Daredevil as well as the second shuttle generate A LOT of stress. Yorr can deal with a lot of it, especially if he moves last and does a green maneuver (auto stress removal)

Omicron + Vader: good old Doom Shuttle. This has an added twist though that Vader does not need to hit to activate (just target). Oicunn doesn't need to hit anything, just bump. Daredevil on Oicunn doesn't need to roll anything, just bump. In other words, you can do 2 damage and 1 crit on a ship, per turn without having to roll any hits or crits on your dice! Against big rebel ships it doesn't really matter, against something like Soontir Fel it really hurts!

I'm not sure you can target a ship you're bumping with Vader. I'm 95% sure on that. I do like the idea of Oicunn with 2 shuttles. My fear in your build is that Oicunn dies first and he's the best closer.

For sure there needs to be some love given to daredevil and Dauntless.

Nice idea Kelvan, an HLC gun of any sort cant be ignored, and this is a very cost effective platform. I like it. Back to the drawing boards...

As with all good lists the forcing of no good options is important. Want to kill the turret? Eat HLC shots. Want to kill the shuttle? late game turret with engine.

The Void Bison likes to chase things and blow them up.

That description with that picture...solid gold.

Clearly that is an image of an aggressive pursuit beast built only for murder and mayhem. It's why we love them so.

Isn't that a Heavy Laser Cannon mounted on him? Those dark eyes hold the soul of a vicious beast.

It's like he's thinking "There's no up in space, so just try to tip me now, f******s!"

Man... I get lost in funny space cow images.

Anyway the shuttle is actually a Boss at being a trail ship. Wingman/Advanced sensors allows for perma stop.

Where do you find these?

Also, this last one disturbs me deeply. Yet I can't look away...

Dang it, I really want my Decimator now...

It is a good one. I don't give away the trade secrets. Dom, Sable and I have a massive Space Cow library of images we use at the Lambda City Library.

or...

Big O + dauntless+ daredevil+ eu

Buzz saw classic

Black squad + wingman

Not sure how good it'll be but it's probably my favorite looking combo to try first. I just don't think I can yt away from a BSP and wingman for Rebel captive. Tempted to drop gunner on the shuttle and advanced sensor it and add captive to Big O.

My daughter (just turned four) walked in as I was reading this. She said, "I don't like this picture. That is a mean cow."

Rakky I like that. Although I'd do what I could to keep Oicunn alive early and then get him in bowling ball mode late. If he barrels in when the enemy is at full guns you'll have lost your closer ship. Need to get them to shoot the support.

Your daughter is right. it is a man mean cow. MOOOOO!!!!

A man cow? Even better...

I swear I can type...

The thing I like about Oicunn is in the late game he's pretty great vs higher PS. Where are they? oh ok i'll just RUN THEM OVER!

To be fair I'm 100% sure that I don't know anything.
