Advanced Cloaking Devicespoiled

Awesome find!

Gaaaaaaaah.

But we still can't see the cost .

Or the Phantoms stats

we know the Phantom is 4-2-2-2.

Or the Phantoms stats

4/2/2/2, we've known that one ever since the phantom was announced.

Sorry to say it but this was spoiled in at least two other topics. Sorry to kill the fun. This does make the phantom look good though.

Well from what I understand the Cloak action will not allow you to attack, but it'll bring the Phantom's Evade stat up to 4 dice. Since this is essentially a free action after it fires, it'll probably be pretty pricey. Gonna guess 4 or 5 points. For the metagame this means that the important thing for fighting these things, besides the obvious of outmaneuvering them, is to have higher pilot skill to fire before they have a chance to cloak and make them even more difficult targets. Also, I think missiles and the like are going to make a comeback, and hard.

I would agree Advance Cloaking will likely be 4-5 points. Whisper plus Advance Cloaking comes in around 37. He would be a hard target to shoot. The empire will be shifting to 3-5 ship builds when the hate pushes swarms out of the meta and the Tie Phantom could be leading the way.

Since ACD is like a defensive version of Gunner, I hope it will cost 5 pts. This makes my potential combo of Whisper + PtL(RecSpec wouldn't be worth it for Whisper IMO) + ACD 40 pts. Giving me 60 pts for two interceptors.

4 agility dice isn't scary though. Especially when the ship is so fragile with just 2 shields and 2 hull. At times I t will be elusive but other times it will drop like a rock. That's a lot of points to invest in such a fragile ship.

4 dice with multiple focus tokens will very rarely "drop like a rock". It will roll more than 2 evades on average.

It also has barrel roll and the ability to take Advanced Sensors, and they've also spoiled a white turn-1. So it might not be that easy to nail it down in a firing arc, either.

How do we know that whisper gets an elite pilot talent?

I just want a mid- to low-range Phantom with an EPT slot for Opportunist. Thematically, decloaking, popping 5-6 dice, then recloaking gives me serious nerdgasm.

Opportunist gives you stress. Using advanced cloaking device to perform a cloak action after that attack does not work.

Unless you have Yorr nearby soaking up the stress =P

In that case the phantom never receives the stress token and opportunist does not give a benefit.

See the Fel/Yorr ruling in the FAQ.

You are correct sir!

Ugh that's so stupid.

Almost as stupid as not being able to shoot a Blaster Turret at Dark Curse.
