Expose only affects primary weapons. I guess its possible with excellent rolls and good crits with APT and Jan, but highly unlikely.

If one ship build is possible with this I don't foresee someone flying Ghost right at several b-wings. Focused fire from the b-wings will quickly strip down the Ghosts shield and hull, although you might lose a b-wing or two. This ship will probably need to have a decent dial, with a k-turn, to keep the enemies in arc.

No C-3PO or Millenium Falcon title for this, and it can be arc dodged. Furthermore, to get that rear arc running it's got to both buy an Attack Shuttle and not use it.

C-3PO is a crew and it can take a crew. So yes C-3PO on this?

0 agility. C-3PO only procs if a die is rolled.

But it has 0 Agility, so won't roll defense dice unless at Range 3.

It doesn't need the Falcon title. It has a native evade action.

If only there were a way to stress ships.

Ghost isn't a PWT so that 4 attack is fine.

Probably necessary too for how squishy it can be (decimator sans isanne)

I'm really impressed with how FFG handled the Ghost. They took that ridiculous Mary Sue of a ship and made it something that doesn't seem overpowered and offers some unique tactical options.

My first impression might be off but I think this is going to be a fun ship to play and play against.

What makes the Ghost a 'Mary Sue' except that you don't like it? If you are going to use a pejorative, at least use it correctly.

a 16 hit point ship with a base 4 attack is retarded. Slap expose on it and your attacking with 5 dice a turn 6 at range 1. pair him with the hwk that boosts your attack and you have 6 attack 7 at range 1. Thanks FFG for giving the rebels a better version of the decimator. And yes I know the ghost does not have a turret, not like rebels are lacking those.

I have a feeling when someone complained about the PW4 of the Phantom you told em to stuff it but now that rebels have a PW4 on a ship that's most likely going to fly like a brick.. ZOMG!! OP!!

Opps I keep forgetting that.

In the show it seems better at everything than just about any other ship flying around. It's got awesome weapons systems, it's sneaky, it can carry cargo, it's got a little fighter that ejects from it that is very capable on its own. The ship seems to be able to everything. How is that not being a Mary Sue?

Kind of like the Millenium Falcon?

What a piece of junk.

Yeah, you can't complain about the ship being 'good at everything' in Rebels and then not complain about the Falcon in the films.

The Ghost is a very good deal for its points, but so is the shuttle and it is not OP - that is assuming it will be a similar dial.

With the phantom docked and a turret, it will be a very good ship 4 atk out the front and back, and a turret attack. It is essentially 2 ships in one with one. But, it does have blind spots and 16 hp will melt away under fire, so I think it will be fine.

but but zero agility!

sky falling much?

Only now that Scum will get their own skill 9 firepower 3 PWT. :P

We have 4 out of 5 of the main characters, I think we'll be fine.

The Falcon spends like half its screentime with a broken hyperdrive, though?

What does the Falcon do in the first film? It gets caught in a tractor beam, people hide in secret compartments, it blows up a flight of TIE fighters that Tarkin wanted it to escape from, it swoops in and blasts some TIEs that are focused on killing Luke. You never really see its speed, for all you know that's just part of Solo's sales pitch to land a job.

In Empire the Falcon breaks down, it eludes some TIEs in an Asteroid field, it hides by parking on a Star Destroyer and then blends in with the trash, it limps to Cloud City, Lando uses the elevator.

In Jedi it is flown by the guy leading an attack run, it shoots some TIEs, Lando knocks the dish off.

The Falcon was a piece of crap. It was just a really fast piece of crap. The Falcon is constantly breaking down and causes as many problems as it solves. It's fast and has some aftermarket military modifications. It's got a great pilot but it's not a particularly amazing ship.

While Vader has no problems blowing up a bunch of A-Wings and that superfat corvette only with some shots of his TIE, it takes him forever to do nothing to the Ghost, even when the Ghost is being hit by Vader almost all the time. Everything it's needed for the Ghost to survive is that Hera keeps repeating "The shields will stand! The shields will stand!". And a ship that size cannot be trapped by two tractor beams pointing at it, while they trap Vader.

Yeah, it's not a Mary Sue at all.
