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

By xanderf, in X-Wing

StarViper + Virago + Cloaking Device + Stealth Device

Holy crap.

I would still easily roll all blanks.

In before ficklegreendice

I'm looking forward to throwing this on a HWK. For 4 points you are giving the HWK an evade action and 4 agility in return for not attacking. You've got a 6/8 chance of getting a big reposition the following round.

Palob with Moldy Crow and Cloaking Device... really screw with folks determined to stop his shenanigans early on.

StarViper + Virago + Cloaking Device + Stealth Device

Holy crap.

Why stop there? Throw ACD on it too! It's a Mod, and the Cloaking Device is an Ilicit. Sure, you're out 4 points when if fails.... but I always say Go big, or go home! :D

Blail Berg: Auto corrector is a modification system upgrade, cloaking device is an illicit, so you can have both :)

Auto Corrector is a System Upgrade, not a Modification.

The might be cool on N'dru as well. He really needs something to help him be a more effective flanker.

It's not Glitterstim+LW+Cluster Missiles but SPA+Cloaking Device+LW is 23 points of annoying.

ACD is Phantom only. Give it SPA for a free evade action when it cloaks or decloaks.

Well good! Then my over the top Starviper is only 2 points heavier instead of 4. :lol:

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

Captian Needa saw the "small base only" limitation and called shenanagans on the Large base falcon.

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

I totally missed that. So no swarms of cloaked Z95s... probably for the best.

Uh, the original quote is "No ship that small has a cloaking device!"

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cloaking_device

I would have swore the quote was "No ship that size..."

I'm also really excited to Decloak HWK's across the board...wow! Such, wow!!!

I'm so excited for this!

Talonbane Cobra + Cloaking Device + Lone Wolf = 32 Points

or Graz the Hunter + Cloaking Device = 27 points

Try hitting a Cloaked Virago...

Guri with Cloaking Device and Sensor Jammer and either Autothrusters or Stygium Accelerator. :o

Well now I have an excuse to use all those acrylic tokens I got from league.

While guri is a for sure candidate, I want to put this on Palob or Torkil, just because I want a Cloaking hwk

I just peed a little.

Cloaked palob

You WILL believe a hwk can fly!!!

I like the random chance of failure of this illicit upgrade. Seems so Scum, like Salvaged Astromechs.

Would a focus token save this upgrade from being destroyed?

No. Focus tokens are only usable on attack rolls and defense rolls- You can't use them on say, R5-P9's die roll. Cards from wave II onward have introduced other uses, but those specifically say you can use a focus token for them.

(Source: Spending a Focus Token, P. 11 & 12 of the rulebook).

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

So it looks like you have the option of discarding it and decloaking or just discarding your cloak token when you roll focus results. At two points the ability to gain two evade dice and have the decloak ability is definitely worth it. Even if you do roll focus tokens you don't have to lose the upgrade card, you can instead just discard the token. I am going to join the crowd on this and say to pair with the Stygium Particle Accelerator.

Only to say i told you so, and called it a long time ago. :P
