What is the easiest and quickest way to get Lambda Shuttles to turn around? They don't have a K-Turn so that's out.
How to get Lambda Shuttles to turn around
Advanced Sensors and engine upgrade
Boost with engine upgrade before you reveal your dial then reveal a hard 2 turn, this will get you almost all the way around, then 1 green bank next turn for the full K-turn substitute (this does require a bit of space though, cannot be performed amongst dense asteroids)
You can get even more use out of this technique with a wingman in the squadron to soak up stress
Don't.
Forward comrade. Always forward for the Empire
I'm not even kidding.
Its tough you do need the engine upgrade to turn decently but that drives up the cost making it less effective, your hope is they find something else more threatening and ignore the shuttle while it turns around.
Black Squadron + Wingman. It's a tighter turn then the EU AS turn, and doesn't in the same number of rounds. I would also add Tactician to the Shuttle. This will keep most ships from K-Turning behind you which will give you a chance to get around. Really you want the shuttle to just follow it's targets. Like Blail says just go forward.
Without upgrades it's really not easy.
One thing I've found useful is to try and begin your turn a round or so before you think it will be absolutely necessary. It may mean that you can't focus on the ship you've been trying to kill, but if you wait too long it can mean your ship will be out of the fight for 3+ turns. Not being able to focus fire as effectively is simply the price you pay for flying such a poor maneuverability ship.
Without engine upgrade after your initial attack or 2 you spend the rest of the game following the rest of the battle trying to catch up to it
Ok for serious. Put all your other ships in the opposite corner during deployment. This creates an easy flank for the shuttle. Then it can lumber around slowly and shoot on anything that is on its second pass.
use the dial from an a wing= super cow!! or just use several and have them do lazy turns around the board wagon wheel style,,
Edited by SwedgeLook up the thach weave. It's like a forward facing variation.
The Lambda simply isn't a fighter. Don't expect it to be.
advanced sensors
daredevil
perform a hard two
(equip engine upgrade for daredevil)
Also works on decimators
Can't get Daredevil on a Lambda.
I have not played shuttles in a long time. Did not realize that zero of them have an ept ability.
This is why Engine Upgrade is so popular. It makes it so that the shuttle can turn a whole lot better.

If you can, watch some of Dom's Alabaster Hippo Ballet replays from the Galactic Cup. It's a master class for how to position a shuttle.
I recomend, moving slow (use the hold manuvre) and upgrade it wiht Darth Vader. If you work it right, the Shuttle will kill itself before it needs to turn arround.

Backwards isn't retreating. Its advancing, to future victory!!!

Bump yourself so you don't need to.
Plan ahead.
Waaaaaaay ahead.
Just get Vader into the shuttle and blow yourself up.
I you can't afford Engine upgrade in your build,
remember 2 turn is red and 1 bank is green.
So you're almost there in two moves anyway.
You might be faster turning the table
