Soooo....nobody commenting on ALL scum ships getting a cloaking device?

By xanderf, in X-Wing

Kind of a dodgy sort of cloak, but still...

Not all of them, can't cloak Y-Wings :(

...yet.

Technically the 'large' bases can't, either, so that's a few more that won't be able to.

Still...it's quite a lot of them...

It's a cheap one, but also one highly suspect to random chance... It would make for some very interesting builds, but you can't count on it. You have a 25% chance of it failing every turn you use it on.

never mind, just saw the 'small ship only' part.

Just saw it. For 2 points not too bad - assuming it works like the Phantom.

The Advanced Cloaking Device is limited to Tie Phantoms, BUT Stygium Particle Accelerator is not.

And only the phantom will be able to have the good cloak upgrades of ACD ...

Except how often do you remain cloaked more than one turn? When it fails, you get to 'decloak' at the end of the round instead of at the beginning of the next? Not sure how that hurts.

I like the idea of a cloakable Xizor or Guri

Try hitting a Cloaked Virago...

Random chance *over time*.

You do still get at least one solid turn's use out of it, either way...and it does still pair well with the Stygium Particle Accelerator...

It's a cloak without ACD. Significantly easier to deal with.

No ACD. Totally fine.

Also worth noting it's unique, so only one scum at a time can take it.

Oh indeed, Guri plus cloak will definitely be a thing

Yeah, what I'm saying is you can't use it like you would with the Phantom. I'd use it to cloak when I really needed to, I wouldn't plan on cloaking every turn.

Well, you have to discard the cloaking device too. so once it fails your done cloaking for the rest of the game.

I also not that when it fails you must decloak OR just discard the cloak token. When forced to decloak you won't be forced to make the decloak move.

Small ship only...lol

Eh, that's fine. I didn't really want the Eagle 5, anyway, so only having to get one of them works out alright for me.

Its a unique title so only 1 per squad, and has a built in 25% FAIL chance. No big deal. Its a fun card for scum and not overpowered at all.

This. Ontop of that, if you buy Stg and lose your cloak, thats 4 points gone.

Captain Needa gets proven wrong TIME and TIME again!!!!

Its not a title, its an illicit upgrade.

StarViper + Virago + Cloaking Device + Stealth Device

Holy crap.

but starviper wants auto? =/

StarViper + Virago + Cloaking Device + Stealth Device

Holy crap.

I would still easily roll all blanks.
