What aout something like this?

If your ship does not have the EPT upgrade, it gains the EPT upgrade.

As a crew upgrade?

I'd probably expect it have some of the same language that keeps it from being used on the cheapest pilots like A-Wing Test Pilot and R2-D6 do. I'd prefer seeing something that gives Imperial Pilots without an EPT access to them before we add yet another way for Rebel pilots without EPTs to get them.

My apologies, yes as a crew upgrade. I'm thinking mostly about the Void Bison here, but also for the lower end Bs and Phantoms.

Perhaps. 

 

was there a reason they chose not to give the Lamda's EPTs?

Oooo I didn't think about that. This idea just got better.

So it couldn't Barrel Roll.

Yeah, but the Decimator can do it so I don't see the issue.

 

I'd think it would be awesome to have DD and an EU on a Shuttle. Shuttle busting a 1 hard!

 

I would like to see a title upgrade for all Tie Variants that's unique and grants an EPT to PS 3 or higher. Call it flight leader or something and cost it a point. It would help Oynx sqd, Gamma, Storm, Named squints, etc. Doubt we will ever see it, but I can hope.

Expert HAndling.  Its obsolete thinking and should be nw fixed.  Lambda comes with a lot of overpriced bad upgrades though.  So does the Bomber.

Kagi + Expert Handling comes to mind.

Because it is... a shuttle?

Not the type of craft that attracts (and keeps) the hot-shot fighter ace types.  There are a few who are outstanding, either because of experience or innate talent... outstanding pilots like Jendon and Kagi (who already have unique talents).  Of all the ships in the game, the Lambda-class shuttle is the one least likely to have EPTs.

 

As a PLAYER of the GAME, I understand your desire to make one of your favorite ships more powerful, but it just makes NO SENSE if you look at XWM as having any connection to the Star Wars and being anything other than just a game.
