I know I am! It's native 4 primary attack will be fantastic and it comes with some great crew. I think this ship will fit nicely into a list that was previosly accupied by a VT-49 Decimator. I'm thinking FCS, hot shot co-pilot, and gunner will be awesome. How do you plan on using it?
Who's ready for the Upsilon Shuttle?
I'm excited to use the ship as I have 2 lists ready to use it, but I'm mostly excited for General Hux and he's in 3 lists too.
In terms of using the UPS itself, I'm planning on partnering Kylo Ren piloted UPS with RAC Deci. The second one is Major Stridan w/ Hux & Systems Officer and a couple of Aces. Very excited.
Preach... Looking forward to Upsilon
Expertise fcs Kylo Ren
Doesnt lose action efficiency when spamming coordinate (or bumping w.e he dont care)
Juke relay omega and crackshot x7 vess top it off
Fcs with vess even gets around dengaroo; omega l loves coordinate to get that juicey focus prelock
Bring it

I haven't been this excited about a ship in a long time. I will be doing everything I can to find a strong squad featuring the two named TIE/sf pilots. I think there is definitely something there. I am so, so, SO excited to use Kylo Ren! I'll have to try both pilot and crew and see which I prefer.
"All...will bow before the First Order!"
I got several list in mind with them.
Double upsilon with fcs+gunner+operation specialist.
Double upsilon + patrol leader for 40 HP of large ships
Upsilon with system officer+fleet officer with Omega ace(with swarm leader)
Upsilon + Decimator
Upsilon + double tie/SF with juke/comm relay
Kylo on RAC is gonna be fantastic
It's the 4 red dice with an EPS on Kylo that's got me excited. Unlike Whisper, he really doesn't need VI. So Pred, Expose, Expertise, Swarm Leader, fearlessness.... I dont think anyone is ready for Kylo layin down the law!
The whole package just looks like a great expansion. Nice model, interesting ship, good choice of upgrades. Only downside for me is that I am very much a Rebel player, but this one might change that a bit.
Somebody here posted an interesting squad featuring Kylo Ren as crew for one of the Upsilon pilots, along with "Backdraft," "Omega Ace," and some other ship that helps cause crits. It looked so beautiful, with all the pieces fitting together, but I just can't seem to remember where I saw it.
BARREL ROLLING SHUTTLE FTW!!

0 stop and barrel roll backwards. Take two stress. Clear both with 1 forward and IR. Do it again. Shuffle across the board. Profit.

This is going to be a strong list.
My body is ready... but my wallet is not.
Double upsilon + patrol leader for 40 HP of large ships
This list is going to be scary to face. Its a ton to chew through but it can also throw a lot of red dice.

Alter ace to flavour. I'd be tempted to take Ryad/Vessery.
I know this is about the UPS but do you think there's any change they will change Col. Jendon's ability to go beyond range 1?
I'm looking forward to seeing it on display with my SF/FO's, then hoping to field it either in a themed list with SF/FO's, or paired with a Decimator.
For the Upsi+Deci list, I've coined the name "Oopsie Daisy" since when running Oicunn+Ren, you get a little bumping action going on
(thanks to those who've put forward these list suggestions!)
I can't predict the future with regards to its competitiveness, but I really hope that someone is able to push the boat out so it makes a good show of itself.
I want to try Major Stridan with FCS, Title, Systems Officer
Vess, X7, Predator
Omega Leader, Juke, Comms
TLs for err-body!
Upsilon Shuttle?

I am, but more so because it's beautiful than anything. As rarely as I have the luxury of actually playing I plan on using it as a display model next to my Raiders. Still excited though.
Upsilon Shuttle?

lol. The Kylo Ren's shuttle title should have another line on it.
"Before removing your shuttle as a casualty, throw a tantrum and flip the table!"
I am!
I love it's design and it's more forgiving to fly than the Lambda. The upgrades and 4 attack are just icing on the cake.
Looks like a lot of potential fun but I'm just waiting for my 4 Sabine Ties.
Always ready for more plastic crack.
Always.

Also, Bring it all.
I am very very very happy about it all.
