So I'm playing in an x wing tournament tomorrow that works a lot like a fantasy football draft. I have been flying oicunn w/ expose, bounty hunter, and omnicron group pilot as my go to list these days and I am 4-1 with it. I only lost the one game because I was playing a casual game and made a stupid stupid stupid mistake. Won't happen again. I was lucky enough to be able to draft those ships and the expose upgrade so I'm thinking I'm set. Thing is I also in draft acquired a Vader crew, and Rebel Captive. So I was thinking since there are some serious prizes on the line do I mix up my list by dropping expose and running RC on the shuttle to help protect the obvious weak link or do I make him a baby doom shuttle with Vader and sacrifice him using a ram with oicunn and hit from Vader strategy. Just wondering what the hive mind thought on the matter. Normally I would have a ton of other upgrades to choose from but only drafted these ones so please no suggestions that say to use a card not mentioned. Thanks everyone

If you have Oicunn ramming, he isn't a legal target for the rammed ship, so it will be forced to target one of your others, like the shuttle. With this in mind, I really like Rebel Captive here. It punishes them for shooting the shuttle at all, so if you're good with maneuvering you should be able to stack up some damage with repeated shuttle attacks throughout the match. Expose sounds alright, but Rebel Captive is such a valuable card these days.

I like Vader on the shuttle because it helps mitigate the weakness of the shuttle - because it is so slow, it rarely gets to shoot. Putting Vader on there makes it die quicker, but it also does serious damage to fragile ships that can be a pain in the end game, like Whisper, Soontir, or Jake.

If it rarely shoots, then Vader will rarely get used, so I'd go with Rebel Captive.
