Palp Aces with anti Slicer Tools tech in mind

By Shadow345, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Captain Yorr - Emperor Palpatine, Electronic Baffle - 33

Whisper - Advanced Cloaking Device, Fire Control System, Agent Kallus, Veteran Instincts - 41

Omega Leader - Juke, Comm Relay - 26

Both Aces I picked don't use Push The Limit and Captain Yorr is there to take stress from stressbot Y-Wing and similar effects. Electronic Baffle isn't supposed to be used for every stress you take, just to make sure you don't have more than two at a time so you can continue to use your ability.

Darth Vader with Engine Upgrade and Juke is another ship I considered.

I would drop the Baffle. You need some initiative bid and if the enemy wishes to send actions for a 50% chance of damage against a 5 Hull Yorr you may as well profit from it.

I agree on dropping the baffle. You'd really hate to let your opponent choose if Whisper shoots first or not.

You do not drop the Baffle. The Baffle is super good on a shuttle, especially that shuttle. The Baffle gives you many more options each time you're thinking about where to move your shuttle and what you wanna do with it, and good options that your opponent doesn't see coming are what helps you win the game. I'd say your most disposable upgrade is Agent Kallus. Then you've got a 2pt Bid.
