Lamda Shuttle Needs Nerf

By MortalPlague, in X-Wing Battle Reports

My shuttle in a recent spring kit tournament.

Two U-Boats trapped while my Zeta Leader killed Kavil, then looped around to come after them. No move could free either of them, without one going off the board.

I still lost, since my evade dice couldn't repel turrets forever.

Oh for some APLs!

I don't understand, if you are all touching the no turret problem? Or was there a third ship pounding your Shuttle?

I'm not actually complaining in this thread, I just wanted to share a funny situation in game.

My opponent managed to bump me with both jumpmasters, trapping them against my shuttle. Zeta Leader was flying around, finishing off his Y-Wing while the jumpmasters took long range 2 dice turret attacks at it. Eventually, having dispatched Kavil, the TIE came down, killed one of the jumpmasters, breaking the block. But unfortunately, my TIE's evade dice ran out and he got popped, and with the jumpmaster behind my shuttle, it was over.

Do you know why you died?

The God of Space Cows struck you down for your sins. For the rule you broke.

There is one rule with Lambda shuttles.

One. Rule.

If you can guess what it is the Space Cow King might forgive you.

You needed MOAR COWBELL!!!

I put my faith in green dice. They let me down.

Also, I have never wanted Anti-Pursuit Lasers more in my life.

It's interesting to note that a 2 segnor is too short to clear a large ship's base easily.

I'm still not sure how to use a shuttle mob in the game these days, but the presence of electronic baffle means it should be possible.

No need to guess, it's the wings. Favor will shine on you if you have them all the way down as is proper. Or sometimes all the way up. But having them halfway is no bueno. It's why I got you with my K-wings that day ;).

Shuttle blockers. So hot right now.

I like to think that halfway-down wings, when carefully arranged, give the appearance of an assault gunboat. :)

Nothing looks quite so lame as wings-up shuttle.

Shuttles be da scariest ships in the game. They always 1-shot my Z-95's at range 3.

They just get the luckiest dice rolls + that cheater Palpatine crit.
