    Would've been interesting pre-Falcon, paired up with the Extinction Bomber and possibly Sith Fighter. As things are currently though, I don't see anything here that would help against the Falcon's brutal first-turn Assist Festival, so I won't be in any particular rush to get it.

    It looks like he turns Empire and sith enemies into Hound's Tooth.

    Against mediocre damage, yes. But each M F attack deals over 100k dmg, instantly defeating a ship, not allowing this prot up to kick in. This is a fun ship, but not meta material.
  • Hmm...this may have been a game changer pre Falcon. Sith/Empire are going to make for a very nice secondary TW/GA team. But I don’t see how this stops the Falcon. Unless there is a Sith Capital ship coming soon that pushes them up even further...
  • I'm excited for the ship and the alt-way to farm... but my one issue - the only thing I really hate about this is what we WON'T be getting now....
    This darling...

    I was really hoping we'd see that.... but nope, he's lost to this shuttle forever now.

    Yeah, the missed a great opportunity for this. Look how gorgeous that thing is. So sad.

    Am I the only one who thinks this is trash?
    Prot up on critical hit sounds great.. Up until the point you realise both b28 and epalpshuttle are crit immune..........

    I don't see where b28 is crit immune. It has 25% crit avoidance, but if the other team gets a bunch of crit chance boosts, there is still a good chance of a crit. So either the crit fails and you take normal damage, or it crits with reduced damage from the crit damage down AND you get 40% protection up. Sounds like a nice deal.

    Right? They couldn't have just used the basic Storm trooper?

  • Seems a little underwhelming, but since this is the first unit released under a new method, maybe that's not a bad thing.

  • Well seems like a good anti-HT and anti-HMF unit. Why are people not excited about this?

    Not sure, I certainly am excited. Finally get a full Sith fleet, minus the capital that is.

    Basically gives a HT-light protection up ability to all empire and Sith, which will reduce damage from mass assists. And giving TFP prot up should increase life and dodge chances.

    Not sure about how his buff immunity will work but combined with Vader ability block and timed right may be able to shut the falcon down. Guess you would need Cassian as first reinforce... We will see.

    @Bulldog1205 if you are who I think you are, I really like your TW videos, btw.

    Yep, that’s me. I appreciate it!

    Palp shuttle + Bomber will absolutely be an incredible tank. If you can get it started I think it would work well against rebels, but I think you need to get the Falcon dazed, and I’m not sure they can withstand an opening barrage that a Bistan/Falcon/Biggs group throws at you. I’m kind of shocked they made it Protection up and not protection recovery, given the Falcon was designed to bust through that protection up.

    The combo I think can be extremely annoying is Palp + TFP with no other empire/Sith on board. Then Palp will give TFP taunt.

    Can any other ship daze besides resistance X? I tested it last night and showed a little promise but mine is only g9.

    My thoughts exactly.
    The empire lacks a real tank. That would have been a great opportunity.

    But hey... Palpy had more than one Royal Guard at his side. So there still could be a Tie Interceptor guarding the Shuttle...

    This clearly makes them a bad tank, not an incredible tank. How will you prevent the opening barrage of an m f rebel squad? You know, from the ship that is the fastest cap ship in the game?
    Also, whats preventing m f rebela to bring in their own cassian and blow up palpmobile at any time?
    And yes, prot up doesnt do anything against m f, which dispells it first and then deals damage.
    Lastly, m f dispells 3 debuffs, so having concussion mine, target lock, buff immunity (thrawn maas debuff, tarkin expose, abi block..) etc in the kit will only trigger the m f ability, auto cleansing their mates.

    Royal guard flying the thing sounds almost as silly as the if the emperor were flying it.

    Does tarkin fly his ship?

    Doe mace fly his?

    Just because you play mobile games doesn't mean you have the right to be stupid. Tarkin is a fleet commander

    And so is Mace.......
    If we want to be particular about that, actually Admiral Yularan would have to be on that capital ship. He was the actual Fleet Admiral in command, Windu just always made himself look important. :D

    Actually the new ship seems decent, though it is not exactly a beauty. I am nevertheless looking forward to it, more Empire is always a good thing! Could be a great counter to the boring HT line-ups to speed things up a little.

    Yeah, a little underwhelming on paper but it'll do well against HT. I'm still curious to see it in action.

    Underwhelming seriously whats wrong with you guys..... palp makes EVERY sith/Empire ship a hounds tooth i said this would have to happen for sith to be viable...... gotta fight 5 hounds teeth now..... soooooooooooooo ridiculous......

    If you're at the top of your fleet shard, the only thing that matters right now is Falcon/Rebel fleets. Trying to beat them with anything other than a mirror team is pure luck because of the insane beatdown they deliver on their opening move.

    True but 3-4 HT gaining prot up every attack mixxed with mass healing, daze, foresight random taunts (good/bad) is ONE big damage dealer from being meta.... the hounds tooth protection gain on all ships makes thrawns ultimate viable again..

    If youndont kill emperor fast every other ship becomes semi immortal....

    Cassian is alrady vital... i think he is 10x more vital you gotta kill shuttle fast or your faceing an automatic timeout
