So I just bought the white space cow and I'm trying to think of nice semi-competitive lists to use it in

So far I came up with the below:

Captain Yorr — Lambda-Class Shuttle 24

Advanced Sensors 3

Intelligence Agent 1

Engine Upgrade 4

Saber Squadron Pilot — TIE Interceptor 21

Push the Limit 3

Stealth Device 3

Saber Squadron Pilot — TIE Interceptor 21

Push the Limit 3

"Dark Curse" — TIE Fighter

I used Yorr as it might be fun to occasional take stress from the interceptors so they can be more unpredictable next turn &. Dark Curse is mostly to fill the points and is always fun to run.

I don't have a mangler cannon card as of yet or Autothrusters. I know they are basically compulsory on interceptors .

Any other good builds for the shuttle with Interceptors, Firespray & Phantoms? (My imp stuff is a bit low)

Heres' a fun list a friend of mine has been flying lately,

2 x Sig phantoms w/recon spec,ACD,FCS

1 x OGP shuttle w/accC,Reb cap,Tac jam,ion cannon

99pts

pretty good list against small base ships...single ion not much help against lg base, but combined fire of the phantoms is quite good as they make surprisingly good jousters with the ACD....anyway. just an idea...Good Luck and have fun with the new Shuttle!

Cheers!

Do not waste points equiping Engine Upgrade. Experiment diferent crewmembers. I like Fleet Officer, and Vader. Other players not. Tactician can give headaches to some players. Flight instructor is great against PS 2 enemies

For a fairly balanced all-rounder list with plenty of HP's, firepower and still some arc-dodging shenanigans you could try;

Krassis Trelix - 36

Heavy Laser Cannon - 7

Recon Specialist - 3

Omicron Group Pilot - 21

Darth Vader - 3

Soontir Fel - 27

Push the Limit - 3

A nice even 100. The only card I'm not sure if you'll have or not is Recon Specialist, if not you can bump the shuttle to Yorr, add an ion cannon or stick a stealth device on Fel. To be honest, you probably have a ton of options there.

If you fancy the Phantom over Fel, then the following build is interchangeable;

Sigma Pilot - 25

Particle Accelerator - 2

Fire Control System - 2

Intel Agent - 1

Either way gives you a nice hard-hitting core (Spray and Shuttle) and a slippery Arc-Dodger, and thus hopefully it will be fun for you to fly whilst still giving you a fighting chance with your limited options.

Paint some black spots on it and hang a bell around its neck like I did.

I need a photo, please....PLEASE

Going to disagree with Hexdot on the subject of Lambdas with Engine upgrade. Large ships with boost are absurdly fast. The space cow still won't turn well, but nobody's going to outrun you, and you can actually manage a turn maneuver without gaining a stress.

This list is okay, but if you were just to go with it, I would suggest moving the Stealth Device to Dark Curse. He will always be your last ship, so might as well make him as impossible to kill as you can

Alternatively, you could go 'oldschool':

Either Omnicron w/ advanced sensors + engine upgrade OR Capt Yorr w/ Advanced sensors + intel agent

and 3 sabre squadron interceptors with Push the Limit.

Those interceptors would love to have autothrusters though...

Here it is.

I still have to actually "paint it"

This is my "sharpie" mockup complete with googly eyes - lol. The guys at my FLGS get a kick out of it.

That's too funny

It is camouflage. I want one !!!

If they ever do Disney's X Wing(like Cars the Movie) and have the shuttle like this I'm going to ask for royalties.

Consider using a Gunner on the Lambda. With 3 attack dice, the first shot gives you a chance to strip some tokens off and then if nothing gets through, you fire again. If you get in range 1, you will have a 4-dice attack and a 4-dice re-roll if somebody manages not to get hit the first time.

If you want a Swarm, you can try Capt Yorr with Howlrunner+Swarm Tactics, Dark Curse, Night Beast and 2x Academy Ties. That puts 20 Hull + 5 Shield on the board plus 13 red dice and 16 green. Yorr's ability would also allow for some K-turns with Actions. I am planning to try this one out soon and see how it flies.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Ynot - that cow needs to be in a Disney kids movie ASAP

I will try a few of them out and let you know how it goes.

So I had a go with the following list against a fairly causal gamer with a list he made on the spot.

Omicron Group Pilot (21)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Darth Vader (3)

Kath Scarlet (38)
Marksmanship (3)
Seismic Charges (2)

Soontir Fel (27)
Push the Limit (3)
Targeting Computer (2)
Royal Guard TIE (0)

Total: 100

and it did ok! Soontir did his thing and Kath was rolling all the eyes with marksmanship but I wanted to change it around a bit as maybe Kath might not be as useful and Darth on the shuttle didn't get used.

Omicron Group Pilot (21)
Advanced Sensors (3)

Krassis Trelix (36)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Recon Specialist (3)

Royal Guard Pilot (22)
Push the Limit (3)
Stealth Device (3)
Targeting Computer (2)
Royal Guard TIE (0)

Total: 100

Let me know if this is any better? Or is taking Soonitr out a mistake?

Depends what you come up against. Vs high ps ships, you may feel the fool for ditching Fel. Against a low ps swarm you probably won't notice the difference. Really, it's a toss up. People like Fel a lot for his high PS but if your regularly opponents are dropping mostly low ps ships on the table you may never notice the difference between Fel and the RGP. Fel's free focus for defence is nice but with stealth and autos you're RGP is about if not a little more survivable.

I'm shocked you never Vader'd anyone once!?!? The Shuttle is a pathetic late game ship; as you get more games in you'll notice your shuttles damage output drops spectacularly after the mid way point, when it becomes difficult to line up a target. Vader overcomes this problem by increasing your damage output considerably early game at the cost of your shuttle usually being dead by mid-game. This is perfect, as the shuttle is mostly useless from that point forward. Plus the ability to auto-crit is spectacularly good vs a lot of ships (squints and fat falcons, I'm looking at you) and the bonus of the shuttle being ps2 means the rest of your list can strip shields before he fires making sure that crit is getting through. I'd say persevere with Vader a bit more and do not be afraid to cripple or even destroy your shuttle with him

step 1. slap vader on shuttle

step 2. get some academy pilots or anything at lower PS

step 3. block your shuttle to keep it far, where its arc can extend as far as possible

step 4. point at a high agility target and laugh

I don't think that Advanced Sensors is your best choice for the System Slot on Yorr. If you are using his ability you'll usually have a stress token on you before you reveal your dial.

If they ever do Disney's X Wing(like Cars the Movie) and have the shuttle like this I'm going to ask for royalties.

I would watch that.

lol - the space cow would definitely fit in there.

well... i mean, yorr has won the US nationals.. cant be that hard right?

Well definitely slap on an engine upgrade
