Tie Shuttle think-tank. What are the options?

Hmm. A couple destressing TIE Shuttles with a Raging Defender and a Raging Fel sounds interesting. Trade in Soontir's arc dodging build for a high damage survival build (Rage Focus + Focus from stresss).

If you're not getting an Evade with Soontir and not arc dodging, he WILL explode, and he will do it quickly.

Might work nicely on Glaive squadrons, though - problem is, you're stuck unable to use your signature K-turn, and if you have a TIE/x7 defender escorted by a bomber.....the bomber is gonna die quickly as he's an obvious target.

Well, the wording on Baffles states that the stress is discarded before even being placed, not removed - and Z Recruit states that it only functions when a model 'removes' Stress. So probably no bueno for the rapid-fire QD.

Unless it got modified in the FAQ, Electronic Baffle says "When you receive a stress or ion token, you may suffer 1 damage to discard that token." Italics are mine. Probably just me not understanding the timings but receive sounds like it has already been given to you?

Quite true, I withdraw my misreading of the rules.

Update, added BoShek. "When a ship you are touching activates, you may look at its chosen maneuvor. If you do, you must rotate the dial to an adjacent maneuver. The ship can reveal and execute that maneuver even while stressed."

 

ON a shuttle could be pretty solid to ram down into people and force them to change their dial since it is a cheap upgrade or even let you move your own guys with a imperial bobafett style abilty if you want.

None of your shuttles include Lightweight frame? After testing it with a Striker, i can say it's a great defensive upgrade for the price and would make the bomber a lot more durable...

Keep in mind many of these were posted before LWF was made known. It's a fantastic upgrade and likely will be included in future setups. However, it is difficult to put something into a list when you don't know it will exist. We haven't quite mastered predicting the future yet...

It's a shame Shuttles can't run Palps because I would totally try one with LWF and Palp, just to see what the result would be.

Aside for rhymer I don't talk about any upgrade that isn't crew related but yes lwf would be a solid upgrade

You know snapshot won't work with tactician right? Snapshot is range 1 only.
