So the Phantom (attack shuttle) could be a versatile little ship without the Ghost. Has anyone considered a build for it in this manner?
Edited by DroidloverPhantom without Ghost?
If you're talking about the attack shuttle, it's a far superior ship to the Ghost. Frankly, it's a smidge under costed. There are plenty of good builds out there, but one of my personal favorites is:
Ezra Bridger (20)
Push the Limit (3)
Chewbacca (4)
Total: 27
You use that as a base, then you can throw on Autoblaster Turret of Twin Laser Turret. This is a durable little beast. Chewbacca gets huge value by increasing the HP of this ship by 50% for a mere 4pts. Very durable. Focus action for offense every turn, then evade if you don't need to barrel roll, and roll if you do.
If you go wih the TLT, Hull Upgrade isn't a bad value, although you can easily go without.
If you go with the Autoblaster Turret, Engine upgrade might be worth considering, although it's probably still fine without.
Sabine + PTL + Kyle.
Reveal green move, do free boost/barrel roll and PTL. Then do green move, clear stress, gain focus, and have a third action. Add dorsal turret for a round 30 points.

Sabine + PTL + Kanan - essentially let's you do the same but gives you a white maneauver. The shuttle and Sabine only really has three actions worth doing a turn anyway so you might as well make focus one and open up the dial a lit more. Useful for other ships if needed as well.
Sabine attack shuttle is really sqishy, but ooh the crazy moves she'll be able to pull.
I think I'd stick an Intelligence Agent on her. Less mobile than with Kanan, but cheaper and actually knows where it's safe to go.

Good point. Forgot about Kanan crew!

...four actions!
Impressive, although for full efficency you'd want to add a targeting computer.
Boost/barrel roll + evade + focus + target lock, full service!

If you use fovus/evade as two of your actions she's not bad. Ive flown her quite a bit on vassal with ptl/kanan/abt/targeting computer (tc could be sapped for something else. Shield, hull, stealth, engine)
I think It will be used ALOT more than the ghost, glad you can only use one per list.

Who says it's only one per list ? You can use multiple Attack Shuttles. They are just all uniques.

You can have as many attack shuttles as you have pilots for it if you want (meaning 4 max since they're all unique)

There's only one kind of phantom and its not the attack shuttle.
How does this look?
SHUTTLE SWARM
100 Points
32 points
• Sabine Wren Attack Shuttle
Dorsal Turret Lando Calrissian Juke Experimental Interface
28 points
• Ezra Bridger Attack Shuttle
Dorsal Turret Hera Syndulla Wired Hull Upgrade
28 points
• “Zeb” Orrelios Attack Shuttle
Dorsal Turret Chewbacca Hull Upgrade
12 points
Bandit Squadron Pilot Z-95 Headhunter
Chopper with Zeb crew, and either anti-pursuit lasers or the ion thingy. Dorsal Turret couldn't hurt.

Man, I wish they were so aggressive with Scum pricing. 
Ezra Bridger (20)
Push the Limit (3)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Jan Ors (2)

A very tanky, yet offensive ship.

Went to the same idea. And Stealth Device as an option.
I've been playing BBBBZ, but would prefer an A-Wing to a Z as a blocker. So I could exchange a B for an Attack Shuttle to free some points. A 19 point shuttle would be Zeb + a 1 point upgrade. The whole squad could benefit a lot from Intelligence Agent. An initiative bid would also be possible.
Sabine's mobility is bonkers good. In fact, I think its a little too good. She can solo 100 points of jousters if the opponent doesn't realize the danger and kill her first. But the worst part of that is the age old problem of getting arc-dodger in arc with jousters now compounded by the fact that this particular arc-dodger has a turret (so doesn't need arc to kill stuff)
Oh, and she certainly doesn't need PTL. Twin laser turret + predator or lone wolf and she is a monster. Take any crew you like (or none). Chewbacca is probably best for giving her protection against other turrets (the only thing her shenanigans are not good against).

Uh, not exactly. Only one attack Shuttle can run the phantom title (So you can't have multiple VCXs with docked shuttles in epic), but you can run all four attack Shuttle pilots in one list if you so desire.I think It will be used ALOT more than the ghost, glad you can only use one per list.

ABT is better on Chopper Zeb ghost anyway
attack primary, then if phantom attached get two free dmg
Its hard for me to build an Attack Shuttle without Chewbacca as crew. He basically gives you a 3/2/3/3 stat-line for 4 points. The only time he does nothing is if you are sitting there shield-less and the enemy pushes 3 hits against you in a single attack. Ezra has a pretty nice defensive ability, but you need to keep him stressed.
I like this squad for some anti-aces shenanigans:
Hera Syndulla (Attack Shuttle) (22)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Chewbacca (4)
Targeting Computer (2)
Phantom (0)
Kanan Jarrus (38)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Recon Specialist (3)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Ghost (0)
Prototype Pilot (17)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Autothrusters (2)
Total: 98

I like Hera because she gives you a cheap PS 9 ace, with a nice reactive ability. Kanan just trolls 2 or 3 ship lists. He can really kill a list's offensive capability.
