Is the Firespray the ship that helps the Shuttle?

By Englishpete, in X-Wing

So, I was mulling over the dilemma with making a shuttle work all game and it struck me that perhaps both it and the Firespray helped each other out.

I came up with the following "Transport List".

The Shuttle passes of target locks to the BH's allowing for them to TL and Focus each round. The Shuttle benefits from the protection the fire arcs of the Firespray. Their is of course the need to fly 3 large ships, but this may be a match made in "heaven" :-)

I could swap out the FCS for Anti Pursuit Lasers, I like both.

I would probably drop the title on the shuttle to give both BH's a recon specialist. FCS on Jendon with a recon on both BH's seems like a really nice comb, and you only lose your global TL gaining on Jendon. THe only issue I see with this is once the combat starts, Jendon's ability is range 1 only, and it'll be tough to make sure you have a firespray inr ange 1 of Jendon nevery round to benefit from the free TL.

I did think of that idea and now you say it, the more it makes sense. Still get TL's from Jendon. I think I would then take FCS over anti pursuit.
