So with Wave 10 announced and after noticing that Emo Ren is only 3 points, I figured he could hang out on a Tie Shuttle. I present Kylo's new Ride:

Darth Vader (37)

- Adaptability

- Tie x/1 title

- ATC

- Engine Upgrade

- Prockets

Omega Leader (29)

- Juke

- Comm Relay

- Stealth Device

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (22)

- Tie Shuttle title

- Kylo Ren

- Rebel Captive

Academy Pilot (12)

Total: 100

The basic idea is to have a couple hard hitters, a blocker, and a cheaper ride for Kylo that will punish the first ship to shoot at it. I figure the Rebel Captive will help the shuttle stick around a little longer to hopefully stick some aces with pilot crits.

Thoughts?

I would drop the Stealth Device and PRockets to upgrade that bomber to a Shuttle to spread out your damage.

I've never found PRockets to be that great on Vader. Assuming you have a TL, you're trading 5 dice for 3 dice + guaranteed crit.

As it stands, your list puts a lot of pressure on Vader to survive and deal damage throughout the game. Boosting the damage output of your other ships is the best way to mitigate that pressure IMO.

I am interested in the Upsilon Shuttle itself - wonder about the dial - the ship by itself seems pretty decent...

Although highly doubtful for the PS2 Upsilon, Expose would be my first choice for this ship. 5 attacks? Then possibly Vader crew.....

Make sure you take Experimental Interface too since Expose is rarely worth losing the focus.

oh boy, we're starting on the Expose hyper train again aren't we?

also judging by the teaser image,

Ren's the only pilot with an ept

the PS 4 just has the system slot

I wouldn't classify one person thinking about Expose as anything other than that. Did we miss some previous hyper train?

5 dice is definitely one way to deal with Dengar though...

It seems every wave there's at least one magical "omg expose" ship that people flocked to.

Before they realize it's a 0 point ept that costs 4 **** points

If the deci couldn't do it there's just no hope it ever

Besides the dial probably sucks (be a miracle if it had a white turn) and it's got that sexy coordinate you can't do if you expose
