I think this would be a blast to play, gonna try it out this weekend.

Basically, the Defenders fly as a unit, Vessery is the muscle and the Countess uses her maneuverability to stay in a position to scratch his back when pesky arc dodgers swoop in.

The shuttle is pretty much there to paint targets for Vessery and hand out tokens.

Nice, I had been thinking about the shuttle title for Vessery. Regardless, really enjoying the Defenders and just messing with combos like this to see if it works or not.

As much as I hate to say this, Fleet Officer, Tactician, and ST321 are not better than Palpatine. Run them for personal enjoyment, but it's not the best use of those points.

I cant not run PTL on Ryad. It feels like running Vader with out EU.

I agree, Palpatine is always a great choice. I use him in various incarnations of the Palp/Aces list, and to great effect.

However, as an Imperial player, i am getting, well, bored, to be honest...

I want to try some new combos, even just for fun, but i trully hope that with the new Defender hotness, some of these combos will shine, and I can let Papatine get back to ruling our glorious Empire for a while.

In this setup, I'd try Weapons Engineer in the Fleet Officer's seat so that Vessery doesn't care where the shuttle is and he has the option to change targets to his advantage.
