In the list below I'm wondering where best to spend my last two points. I like Vader and Omega Leader as is, and I'm not convinced Rebel Captive is worth giving up because of aces and Expertise.

Having said that, I'm torn between Anti-pursuit lasers, and Kylo Ren's Shuttle.

But my question to all of you out there is if Kylo Ren's Shuttle is worth it on top of Rebel Captive? Has anyone tried both? What were/are your thoughts?

thanks!

Stride Ride (98)

Major Stridan (38) - Upsilon-class Shuttle
Electronic Baffle (1), Systems Officer (2), Rebel Captive (3)

Darth Vader (34) - TIE Advanced
Adaptability (0), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

Lone wolf or juke on vader. Lone wolf makes him even better late game, juke makes omega better and your opponent is forced to spend focus faster. Or, just keep the 2 points open for bid

One copy of juke, Vader is meant to stay close in this list

Well then get a second juke XD Till then, I say leave it as is. You don't have any synergy against stressed ships so I wouldn't spend too many upgrades on the mechanic. A little bit is enough me thinks. If you're up against a good player, he'll choose one ship to keep close to you that he doesn't care about getting stressed. Stack stress on with rebel captive, and then after combat the title procs. Problem is, title can't stress an already stressed ship. So the 2 upgrades don't work well together. Guess anti pursuits if you wanna use the shuttle as a blocker (I personally do this heehee) but since you're flying vader, I'd say keep the points open for initiative

RC is happening during combat, only if they target the shuttle. Kylo is at the end of combat, and has the nonstressed and range requirement. Stacking the two will give you many rounds when RC may deny the title's ability, so you have that opportunity for wasting points on some turns, especially with mindlink around. Your best bet is title/apl or rc/apl, but probably not title/rc.

Also, consider ion projector to replace apl. Aces will approve.

Good suggestion. I used to run a lot of ion projector but where I live is big ship heavy meta and ion never paid off.

Ill do Rebel Captive and APL. The title is too situational and can't stack stress.
