I can only heartily disagree with that statement. The Doomshuttle is one of if not the best ways to spend 24 points in the game!

The Doomshuttle is amazing.

We'll went with advanced sensors and finished 4-2 in Swiss, placing 24th out of 90 overall. Bagged me a firespray so can't grumble too much.

My two losses were to a soontir, Turr and Tetran list all with stealth, autothrusters and PTL. Fel and Turr were left on 1 hull at the end, both with two crits on them (on direct hits grrr) and they managed to avoid 5 4-hit/crit attacks between them in this state to wipe me. Those were the hottest green dice I've even seen! I never once shot at range 3 either so autotrusters were redundant.

The second loss was to a chewie with jan/recon/title silliness and two FCS b's. The third round saw chewie down to 4 hull, one B dead and the other a shield or two down to the loss of the shuttle and a couple of shields on Vess. The tables then turned quickly when Chewie and the B managed to one- shot dark curse and my academy off the board in quick succession, whilst chewie was down to 1 hull and stubborn refusing to die. A one hull Vess moves in range 1 of chewie with focus/evade/evade and grabbed a target lock. Alas, it wasn't to be as I managed only two hits before chewie hit me back with 4. **** wookie! Frustratingly, I forgot to vader chewie in the second round which, apparently would have been all it needed to flip this one.

Overall I can thoroughly recommend the list. There were no matchups I faced that couldn't have been won on another day. Plus, rocking the only defender in a 90 man event was pretry satisfying in its own right anyway

And for clarity I am in no way saying I lost either game solely to bad luck. The guy flying the squints was a great pilot and flew a great game and the chewie list went on place pretty overall which is testamant to Lewis' ability which he certainly demonstrated playing me with some evasive flying with a non-engine falcon!! Both great guys to play too
