The Mist Hunter pack contains a cloak token.

By nikk whyte, in X-Wing

Without acd it's not that great...

Oh, I don't know. I ran a list last night with Sigmas with SPA's, and did fine with it. Definitely flies different than one with ACD, if you want it to do its job though.

I looked on wikki it doesn't mention a cloak

And the two small red tokens just to the right smell like Tractor Beam.

Yet taste like chicken.

That is definately a cloak oken, but the visible pilot only has Focus, TL, and... is that Evade? Definately doesnt look like a cloak action...

Its action bar doesn't contain the cloak action.

Illicit upgrade? Title? Modification?

I'd guess illicit...... EXPENSIVE illicit

Actually, thinking about it, probably more likely to be a "Mist Hunter" title card

I keep yelling "enhance" at the picture, but it's not working :(

Looks like 6 rules cards. Cloak would be two of them. That red token is on one. It doesn't come with bombs or ion tokens and doesn't boost. What's left?

The Rebels installed a sensor mask on the Mist Hunter while Zuckuss was a member. That seems like it might be close enough to a cloak to use the same rules.

Did you tell it which grid to enhance first?

The Mist Hunter is probably going to fill a different role than the Phantom did. I'd be willing to bet it's going to end up being closer to a HWK or Shuttle sort of ship with crew and pilot abilities that provide either buffs, debuffs, or convey some sort of battlefield advantage instead of being a directly offensive ship. Being able to use a cloak action will go a long way towards keeping it in play, both by making it harder to land hits on and letting it get out of arcs better.

Okay but then it should be a rebel ship right?

I'd be down for being able to fly it in all three factions since those guys worked for everyone. If The Mist Hunter turns out to be a cloaking crew caddy it would end up being a lot different depending on which faction you were running it with due to all of the faction limited crew.

crap, I knew I did something wrong

Also 3 stress tokens, are there any other small ships that come with 3?

A-wing comes with 3 or more. Can't remember exact amount.

The A-Wing should have come with a red stress d20 because of Tycho.

There are two sets of cards that look like they come in doubles (one of them looks like it has a Defender on it). I'm guessing two new types of cannons? If there was a pure control cannon like a tractor beam, that might explain the second cannon slot on the IG-2000.

All of the Bounty Hunter ships so far have cannon slots.

Perhaps the ability to shoot while cloaked, but then take a stress. Eliminates the need for ACD and may account for Zuckuss' "findsman" ability.

The new tokens (and extra rules cards) may be for the tractor beam on Mist Hunter...a new action or even an 'attack'...if the tractor hits no damage is taken. Your ship is now locked to the targeted ship and you do not place a dial. Whatever movement the locked ship does, you do...or the reverse; the locked ship places no dials and follows your lead.

The tractor beam should do something like make green maneuvers white, white maneuvers red, and either remove red maneuvers or have then cause a point of hull damage. Three dice attack, if it hits cancel all damage results and give the target a tractor token. Tractor tokens are discarded during the check for stress step.

That makes the tractor beam a powerful control tool but you are giving up doing damage from the ship that carries it in order use it. It creates a niche for the Heavy Scyk.

Its action bar doesn't contain the cloak action.

Illicit upgrade? Title? Modification?

From looking at what comes with the ship, I'm guessing that it has two Tractor Beams cards and a single token for each. That means it is unlikely we'll track which ship has a tractor beam on which target unless Target Locks are some how involved.
