Is this a good Sabine shuttle?

By stabbald, in X-Wing

I'm thinking

Sabine Wren (21)
Push the Limit (3)
Kyle Katarn (3)

Total: 27

Pushes the limit off of her ability and chooses a green to get Focus/Evade or double Focus every turn.. considering targeting computer as well. Can't decide if it's any good.

I will definitely try this when the ghost pack comes out. It sounds gnarly to me.

Jan might object, but I like the combo a lot.

Hmm actually can't think of which would be better... Jan if you're just after a focus/evade every turn probably, but Kyle is more versatile.

I'm thinking

Sabine-21

PTL-3

Kanan-3

Kanan gives lots of stress clearing options. 3 actions as well.

I love Katarn but honestly I'm looking at Kanan for more flexibility overall on both AS/PtL Sabine and PtL/HLC/Outrider Dash Rendar. I feel being able to pick any white manoeuvre will add more flexibility than having to pick greens, and being able to surprise your opponent once in a while that way will far outweigh the advantage of Katarn's actionless, bump-immune Focus token.

You can do something similar on the Ghost. Advanced Sensors/Experimental Interface/Lando/Kyle Katarn, for example. Could be a lot of tokens.

I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw the previews. It's gonna be so much fun.

Edit: Forgot her ability allows a boost, thought it was just barrel roll.

Nothing to see here.

I might add Engine Upgrade for a little extra jankiness, but then she gets pricey...

Rather than the Engine, maybe Autoblaster Turret? It's great insurance for 2 points, and arguably a better offensive weapon against aces with a ton of defensive tools, like Vader and ESPECIALLY Soontir.

A 2 point investment that encourages Soontir to stay the hell out of your R1 blind spot? Yes plz. It's also fairly easy to use with your built in barrel roll. Just roll to the rough vicinity you think your foe might end up in. Blamo!

Plus it's sometimes going to be redundant with her ability--and movement shenanigans definitely have a ceiling when they happen on PS5.

The OP's Sabine + PTL + Kyle is definitely worth exploring. I'm also thinking about Sabine + Juke + Autoblaster Turret, which is cheaper and presents unpredictable area denial to enemy aces. (EDIT: Ninja'ed!)

I was thinking something like that build (on Hera). Then the OPs Sabine shuttle with Kanan on board to pop out the back. Add APT for rear arc shooting once the shuttle is launched and that is going to be a lot of fun (probably not very competitive though).
