im somewhat new and certainly not the best player in the world. but how exactly do you fly the build in the OP?
just line up the shuttles in front of their ships then all stop / tractor them to hold them in place? i dont understand.
Nah, man.
You get to fly them as though they were actual ships now, using the E-Baffles to remove reds when when necessary.
You never Tractor with all of your tractor beams in one round, at least not in the 4x Waffleo list. They're for stopping one enemy ship in their tracks, so the rest of your ships can concentrate fire on them.
And, of course, there's the Tractor + Tactician combo, wherein you tractor beam them into Range 2, whereupon they are dealt a stress token.
It actually works pretty well vs Alpha Strike lists as well; 40 HP to a list means that I'll still be relatively healthful after they've spent their collective load.
I can't move Scouts around, sadly, but given that I can actually maneuver now means that I get to joust against something my size fairly effectively.
