proton rockets and stealth device

By Nuke0504, in X-Wing Rules Questions

If I had a ship with agility of 2 that I put proton rockets and stealth device on, does the stealth device add 3 dice when using the proton rockets or is it just the 2 from the ship's base agility?

I am also curious to this end. I'm not sure, but a stealth device states that it increases one's agility and therefore would affect the wording of the proton rocket card.

Yes, it does. Stealth Device increases your agility, and Proton Rockets checks your agility when it goes to fire. Therefore the Device can buff your PRocket attacks on ships with 2 agility or less.

So, after adding a Stealth Device your agility value is now 3, and Proton Rockets adds additional dice equal to your agility value, which would make it a 5 dice attack.

Thank you. It is a big help because I was building a list for a local store event.

Obviously, you'll want to get those rockets off before you lose the SD. Getting into range one without taking a hit prior could be tricky.

I have to wonder why FFG bothered with capping the additional attack dice for prockets at 3 - it's not as if there are any ships with natural 4 Def or stealth devices are free, or the most reliable things ever.

Probably because there are other things that add attack dice...(opportunist, jan ors) and it would also close design space in case they ever want to make a ship with 4 agility and a missile slot.
