I do want to try that at some point. I used three in an event a while back, and even 'just' three was quite shocking.

Do you remember what they were armed with?

IIRC it was

Omicron Group Pilot - Fire Control System, Anti Pursuit Lasers x 2
Omicron Group Pilot - Fire Control System, Tactician x 2

It was basically a roadblock/movement denial list. The APLs in front, trying to set up blocks, the Tactician Shuttles move into the space behind them. If you get stuck in the pile up you're facing damage from bumping, stress and target locked shots each turn.

I'd argue it was as much to do with Yorr's ability after watching the final on stream, helping free up the Inquisitor's dial(and allowing him to push the limit following a k-turn). Yorr/Palp is a very good combination of abilities.

Edit: There's an awful lot of criticism for the Lambda in this topic (some deserved), but it's important to remember that the Lambda remains the cheapest large based ship in the game. 3 attack, 10 health, 1 agility, 2 crew slots, system slot and the ability to full stop for a base cost of 21 points is not bad. It's dial is bad, but that's a weakness that can be masked somewhat by upgrades like Electronic Baffle, Advanced Sensors and Inspiring Recruit. The Palpshuttle (with or without Yorr) remains it's top niche role, but it's always had a role in the Imperial meta. I feel like there's probably going to be some opportunities to leverage ST-321 in the future as well.

I'm really looking forward to the TIE Reaper and seeing what it brings to the table, but I'm not going to write the Lambda off just yet.

Thats so right! I think its kinda obvious how the low ps Reaper will be costed. Its PS1 so i assume it will be 20 points and the dial will be very similar to the Lambdas with the exception of maybe a K-turn.

Now Advanced Ailerons comes into play and i call it here: the title turns your hard turns white in addition to the normal ailerons text but it wont be free! that might cost you 2 points plus 2 from a possible Lightweight Frame and them it wont be cheaper than the lambda if you want a ship that can move!
