First off I'd like to say that I am thoroughly excited for the Upsilon Shuttle, I think the Kylo Ren Darkness Seeping In card thing is going to be fun to mess around with. The 4 attack dice plus systems upgrade means fun with FCS maybe, and the green 2 bank MIGHT suggest it has a slightly better dial than the Lambda. (Advances in technology and all)

But what intrigues me the most is the Coordinate action...

The range 1-2 limitation is pretty strict, but the green 2 bank suggests to me that it will be able to go faster than the lambda and turn better, so it'd be able to stay in the fight and close to ships that need an extra action much easier.

I'm not sure how amazing coordinate will be, but I can already think of some fun combos, for example;

Soontir Fel + low PS Upsilon. Upsilon activates, assuming no bump or obstacle or Kylo Ren, coordinate for Fel, who does whatever and then PTLs, activate Soontir, reveal green move, clear stress.

Vader + Upsilon. Vader no longer has to waste one of his two actions to TL for Adv. Targeting Computer, so he may now focus + evade or barrel roll + boost as needed.

There's plenty of other combos that I can't think of off the top of my head, but I personally think that assuming one won't be using Kylo Ren each turn or perhaps has Palpatine meaning fewer points, the Coordinate action will be fairly interesting.

What do y'all think?

Kir Kanos, obviously.

You can give Raging Quickdraw an attack at PS2,and then QD can be stress free :-D

The System slot makes Ren a prime candidate for the PTL/AS combo, or Experimental Interface.

I think seeing Coordinate in standard play is going to be great. We've already kind of had it in the Squad Leader Elite upgrade, but high PS pilots don't like to lose a) their action, and b) their Elite upgrade slot. Also, as you mentioned, he'll be able to give actions to higher PS ships, which is great.

OH ****. ****! You can do that!

But honestly Soontir likes his boost and BR post movement. But conciveably you could get like 6 actions in a turn.

Coord: Boost, evade, Focus, stress. Clear with green. BR, Focus, Focus. stress.

You can only push once per turn :-(

You say that like it's a bad thing..

It's ANY action?

Hell yeah it is on!

Kylo synergy with Mr autocrit result Backdraft just makes the fluffy UPS shuttle with double SF escort squad all the more plausible

I have a feeling that Coordinate will be only on lower PS ships (like Squad Leader) or at the end of the Activation Phase. Epic ships always activate after small/large base ships, so pre-maneuver actions aren't possible. If I am wrong, it will be crazy good. Free Advanced Sensors without the drawback of skipping perform actions? Powerful!

Oh man, I am so glad I picked up two TIE/sf expansion packs! It's tight, but you can fit both unique TIE/sf pilots in with Kylo Ren with a few points to spare. The cheaper shuttle's could be even better by taking more upgrades, including Kylo Ren. Getting super hyped about this ship!!!

Why? Is it on the card?

Edit: yes it is. oops.

Except SLAM, obviously.

... this might actually have teeth. Most ships won't have had the chance to flee from the previous round, yet.

X-WING EPIC ...THE ONLY WAY TO FLY.

That might actually be a good list and the first order might finally some theme lists which actually work. I hereby declare the raider to a first order ship as well and will enjoy tons of TIE/FO and TIE/SF together with two üps as first order raid group.

BTW, it it just me or does the raider look to everyone like a first order ship based on look and design?

If you really want to prove a point:

Upsilon shuttle with an elite pilot talent (so probably not the Starkiller Base guy) + Push The Limit + Fleet Officer + Systems Officer + Electronic Baffle.

AKA "Have All The Tokens"

...

Dang that's vicious.

Note on the Soontir case that not only does he get his two actions then clear his stress, he then gets his action phase as normal. No PTL because he's already used it, but he can get focus/focus/evade/reposition if he wants, or add Targetting Comp and take the action without the normal compromise to his defences.

Indeed. Idk if Targeting is worth it though, even after his ability is dead, Rage absence Focus is still a good combo. Coordinate to Rage him, attack, green for stress, then focus again. Then you have another REALLY good attack or modified attack AND defense.

This is the only way I think it even works. Without the Coordinate, I hardly think this is worth it, but I'm in general disappointed with the sf and I'm probably in the minority there.

Nah, the /sf just isn't quite there I don't think.

As regards after his shields are gone, Rage still might be worth it. Once his shields are down he's got maybe one turn to live, so he may as well go out double stressed with good rerolls.

the only problem with the Bat Shuttle is you'll need to buy the Rebel Tie to get Robin
