Though I have seen this mitigated through the Engine Upgrade card, giving it the Boost action, the fact is that this flying rock is easily out maneuvered by virtually every over ship in the game, and it’s lack of a turret option means that you’re doomed to have it spend the back half of the game trying to keep enemies in its firing arc.

It’s options to stand still, rather than being required to move, can also be of strong tactical advantage. When outfitted with upgrades like Heavy Laser Cannon, the Lambda-Class Shuttle can pack a surprising punch, and with its 5 hull and 5 shields, it can take a lot of damage. If I had written this list a couple years ago, this ship would have ranked much higher (and no, not just because there were fewer ships). So, while I am limiting myself to 10 here, it’s almost like a brief review than an actual Top 10. As I was writing my list, I realized that there are actually only 12 Imperial ships.

Today I will be presenting my picks for Top 10 Imperial ships in Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures…
