So, I was playing with Epsilon leader today and learned how amazing his ability is... For shuttles!

Finally, your shuttles can full stop or hard turn and be fine about it afterwards!

So, with this in mind I thought "Hell, lets have 3"

With 3 shuttles and Epsilon, the question is: Which Shuttles and What upgrades?

I was thinking possibly the Emperor and 2 Enhanced scopes/anti-pursuit laser Shuttles and one with FCS in the back. Allowing you to be the king of the bumper-cars and doing strange damage left right and centre.

Or Fleet officer Omicron and Jendon with FCS and Weapons engineer? Just Focus/TLs to all your shuttles.

OR Why not a Vader shuttle and two FCS system cannon holders?

The choices are too great for me to think of alone! Help forums! Help!

Give 'em all Tactical Jammer so Epsilon Leader can hide in the middle.

Maybe Saboteurs on the two without the Emperor so you can flip damage cards from the HLCs you'll mount.

Two Buzzsaws and a Doom Shuttle?

Epsilon hides behind the Jammer Buzzsaw, and all three of your shuttles can still hand out reliable damage even if they lose their actions to all-stops or hard turns.

Here's what you want:

Omicron Group Pilot (21)

+ Advanced Sensors (3)

+ Mara Jade (3)

+ Tactical Jammer (1)

Omicron Group Pilot (21)

+ Advanced Sensors (3)

+ Rebel Captive (3)

+ Tactical Jammer (1)

Omicron Group Pilot (21)
+ Darth Vader (3)

+ Tactical Jammer (1)

"Epsilon Leader" (19)

All 3 TacJams create a wall of protection for Epsilon. Rebel Captive and Mara Jade mess with your opponent's assault plans. Advanced Sensors ensure those Shuttles are never without Focii or TL's. And Doomshuttle does Doomshuttle things.

I think I would take one doom and one buzzsaw and give them a nimble flanker as a third. You really do need someone covering your arse.

I think I know just the man for the job, too:

Turr Phennir (Veteran Instincts, Autothrusters) [28]

Omicron Group Pilot (Fire Control System, Gunner) [28]

Omicron Group Pilot (Darth Vader) [24]

Epsilon Leader [19]

Is it just me, or does that look legitimately dangerous?

The shuttles would still not get any actions after performing red maneuvers. they only lose the stress after the perform action step

The Buzzsaw doesn't really care and the Doomshuttle also kind of doesn't, since it does guaranteed damage.
