So I just got a Lambda Shuttle yesterday and have been toying around with lists. I wanted to use ships I normally don't, so it ruled out Interceptors, Advanceds, Bombers and TIE Fighters. Plus, it gives me the excuse to get a TIE Advanced Prototype. I don't own any of the First Order ships yet so here is what I ended up with.

Whisper:
-Advanced Targeting Computer, edit:Advanced Cloaking Device
-Collision Detector
-Veteran Instincts
-Recon Specialist

The Inquisitor:
-Twin Ion Engines Mk.II
-TIE/v1
-Push the Limit

Omnicron Group Pilot:
-Emperor Palatine
-Collision Detector (can't hurt for zero points)

99 Points.

I assume you mean ACD on Whisper, and not ATC?

Difficult business trying to fit him into Palp Aces with Quiz. Seems like you either need to choose between Crew or Sensors on Whisper (unless you take Collision Detector, which sucks), or else you have to drop the modification on Quiz... Personally, I'd prioritize putting FCS on Whisper, to make sure he's pushing damage through and getting his free Focus. If you're going to sink ~40 points into a ship, you want to make those points count. After that, I'd probably prioritise Autothrusters on Quiz, and just forgo a Crew upgrade on Whisper.

Another alternative would be to drop Quiz, and take Wampa and Scourge. Wampa has good synergy with Palpatine, as Palp can make sure he always has a crit to cancel (guaranteed damage). Scourge then has good synergy with Wampa, as he gets +1 dice against ships with damage cards. You still won't be able to afford crew on Whisper, but you could get Adaptability on Scourge to bring him up to PS8.

Palpmobile is the obvious choice, but also try out the shuttle as just a cheap gunboat. An EU gives it great mobility, especially if you use Advanced Sensors. Old classics like Buzzsaw shuttles and Doomshuttles are fun, and still somewhat competitive.

i had thought about putting on Tac jammer on the shuttle and just blow the initiative bid to to hopefully run interference for the fighters

No. OLeader has juke, period. No other EPT option is valid. Take FCS off so you can fix this problem.

Or the stealth device if you absolutely must have FCS.

If you want to use the shuttle aggressively, there might be sone argument for anti pursuit lasers or ion projector. Using palpatine with a tactical jammer for cover is not ideal, because I will happily take the chance to kill the shuttle if I can.
