So i really like the shuttle, but to make it work it really needs advanced sensor system and an engine upgrade. That way it can boost and then make red turns. I tried including one in several of my list but really want to try is 3 or even 4 shuttles in a list.

Do you think it could work?

My thought was to use the cheapest shuttle and if I include 4 that's 20 shields and 20 hull points that my opponent will have to take care of!

If i use (only) 3, I can afford to make them all mobile and give them some more goodies like ion cannon, Darth Vader or some other crew.

If 4 shuttles are used I can only make 2 of them more mobile.

Any thoughts?

No reason to make the shuttle carrying Vader mobile. The 7 points for Advanced Sensors and Engine Upgrade is a waste. The Doomshuttle shouldn't need to worry about turning around.
