Fun Shuttle Conga Line

By Coulterman, in X-Wing

The Herd (100)

Captain Yorr — Lambda-Class Shuttle 24

Fire-Control System 2

Gunner 5

Mercenary Copilot 2

Engine Upgrade 4

Omicron Group Pilot — Lambda-Class Shuttle 21

Fire-Control System 2

Gunner 5

Darth Vader 3

Anti-Pursuit Lasers 2

Omicron Group Pilot — Lambda-Class Shuttle 21

Advanced Sensors 3

Intelligence Agent 1

Navigator 3

Anti-Pursuit Lasers 2

This is just a fun list I threw together. The idea is to get them in a line with the adv/s cow in front using navigator/intel agent/APL to block and when needed stop giving his stress to Yorr

Followed by a pseudo buzz cow/Vader to finish ships off or deal a needed crit. And Yorr pulling up the rear setup as a buzz cow as well and the distance provided by the rest of the herd should give you the opportunity to use the merc for another crit!

It does look like a fun list. I'm just concerned about whether it will be effective or not. Navigator is of limited use on the shuttle due to the dial. You're only going to get the APL damage in the first pass, IF you can get them into a furball.

If I were facing you, if my ships are PS2 or above (since you will have initiative), I'll setup one ship across from you and the rest on the opposite side you do and race forward, getting behind you. If you turn to face the bulk of my force, I now have one ship behind your shuttles. If not, I've got my entire force behind you soon. I may not be able to outrun the one with Engine Upgrade, but the rest are going to be prey. Couple that with long range hit and fade tactics and I will spend the game nibbling on you.

Again, this will be a fun list, just not a competitive one. Honestly, if you want to run a 3 shuttle list, you can go with my signature list:

Captain Yorr + FCS + Gunner + Intel Agent + Engine Upgrade

2x Omicron Group Pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade

It's a brutal list.

If you have to have APL, do this:

Captain Yorr + FCS + Gunner + Intel Agent + Engine Upgrade

Captain Kagi + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade

Omicron Group Pilot + Vader + APL

Nah this wasn't to be competitive just fun. It's fun to perpously bump your opponent! And do dmg in the process bonus!

For this result, may I suggest instead the following non-shuttle list?

Hah!

The ORS is better suited to this sort of thing than the OGP as it gives you more options with Navigator.

  • The ORS has 2 turns, 3 banks, 4 forwards, and 2 Koiograns
  • The OGP has 1 turn , 3 banks, 3 forwards, and 1 Stop.

As potent as the Stop is for causing collisions, it doesn't counteract the significant Navigator advantage of the ORS.

If only an APL shuttle could have a different way of adjusting is maneuvering (like, say, Boost or Barrel Roll)!
