And heres why:

All 3 of the imperial large ships we have right now are 6pts between the top pilot and bottom pilot bar bones. Kylo Ren pilot costs 34, so unless they break that trend (given the PS gap and lack of ability i'd be surprised) the PS2 Upsilon Shuttle will be 28pts.

Upsilon Pilot (28)

Palpatine (8)

Soontir Fel (27)

PTL (3)

Autos (2)

Title (0)

Stealth Device (3)

Omega Leader (21)

Juke (2)

Stealth Device (3)

Comm Relay (3)

Total: 100pts

Why is this better than the lambda?

Currently we dont know the full dial, but the 2bank green on the reveal heavily suggests this thing has a better dial than the lambda. Might not have the Stop as a result though.

+2 total health, 1 hull 1 shield.

+1 primary weapon (Loses cannon but tbh who used that...)

gains the Coordinate Action

Thats the big one. The new-palpmobile activates first and dishes out a free action to Soontir at range 1-2 in exchange for his own action. Soontir takes a focus, pop's PTL for an evade and stress for another focus. When Soontir activates, he reveals a green maneuver and destresses allowing him to barrelroll or boost and still have all his tokens and NOT be stressed in case he needs his 1hard next turn (which he'd just do the usual PTL shenanigans off of).

Even if the Upsilon pilot is 29-31pts you can just dump the stealth device on OL.

We'll probably see both. Upsilon is kind of expensive, and while it can have some interesting combos, you lose a lot of power on your ace side because of it.

Granted, you also have a 4 attack primary now too.

Nevermind that this is still vulnerable to slicers.

Already loving the idea with whisper

Given the profile, the dial is gonna HEAVE

worse than the lambda? Not possible

Just as bad...probably

I'm not sure the benefits the Upsilon offers outweighs the cost of upgrading the shuttle.

Damnit. You are right, this completely negates BMST. I hate the ship, but it might be competitive.

This will likely depend on the cost of the pilots and the dial. Most/all of the lambda named pilots blow eggs and if the upsulon pilots don't or if the generic is cheap enough then +1 attack shields and hull is not a bad deal.

it doesnt completely negate Slicers, since if you activate between PS2 and PS9 you can still Slice Soontir before he clears his stress, however it will negate Latts crew.

The Ep can push 7 damage in a single turn I would like to run 2, one with palp and one with Vadar.

I could see this being priced like the YV-666, Kylo at PS6 costs exactly the same as Moralo Eval at PS6.

That would mean PS2 for 29.

The coordinated palp aces will be disgusting. However the ship if priced correctly will be able to perform with a variety of builds and I am all about that. Happy to see it in the game.

Vader with Opp and Hull on an Ep

Palp with all kinds of junk on the other ;-) throw sen cluster, reinforced deflector, shield upgrade.

But Captain Yorr protects against stress on the aces...

Captain Yorr

What's potentially stopping it being the new PalpShuttle is that it's in Wave 10. We don't know how well PalpAces is going to weather Wave 9, and Wave 10 is mostly unspoiled.

The PS2 pilot will likely be 29 points cause they will want to sell this to each and every Palp aces player. There are millions of them.

I expect it to have a white 3-turn like the Hounds Tooth. With 4-attack it totally outclasses the Hounds Tooth.

Nice to know that I should definitely start practicing my builds with Boba Fett crew, cause the Upsilon is a beast.

But Captain Yorr protects against stress on the aces...

Captain Yorr

"When another friendly ship at Range 1-2 would receive a stress token, if you have 2 or fewer stress tokens, you may receive that token instead."

Yorr also requires that a space-cow is following a super fast ship AFTER his maneuver to soak up that stress.

Upsilon does his thing before Soontir activates and rockets out of range2 to engage. Upsilon then regains just enough distance to be in range2 again before repeating the scenario all over again.

I'd bet the PS2 pilot is at least 30 points, no way are we getting this for 28 points. FFG hates Imperial players.

I'd bet the PS2 pilot is at least 30 points.

If it's 30 then that means palpbat, super soontir, and OL with a 1 point bid, 29 puts it at a 2 pointer. If higher than that no bid. But surely its somewhere in the 29-31 range.

i would be surprised if the PS2 is 30pts. Thats 4pts cheaper...other than the outright disgusting Punisher what else is that close in price between top and bottom pilots?

Assuming that all of the pilots for this ship have the Coordinate action, Quickdraw can now shoot at PS2 during the activation phase.

The whole idea of Palpmobile is that it's a bullet magnet for less than a third of your list, not half of your list.

technically its not half your list. Hes 36pts (assuming my prediction is right that is), and people do soontir + OL alot when they wanna bring Yorr for the stress soaking anyway.

You think the base generic on a 12 hp 4 ATK 1 agi ship will be 28 points?

Given the top pilot is 34? yes, yes i do.

Do remember its a shuttle. Its probably only got 2green banks because it is "faster" than the lambda but it still cant turn for GAK

Here's my totally "fluff" squad - called "All in the Family"

• Upsilon Shuttle - Kylo Ren + Title + Pappa Palp + Sensor Jammer
• Tie Adv - Darth Vader + Predator + ATC + EU
• WAMPA!!!!

Also the most important thing is the co-ordinate action, giving out an action to ships are R1 and R2.

It's a nice epic style action.

Also Ren has the ability to filp cards up - that's gonna make people nervous shooting at it.
