Ghost, Phantom, Title Turret Confusion.

By Ebak, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So, there is discussion that due to how The Phantom title is worded, we know that while it is docked The Ghost can perform a primary weapon attack in it's special/aux arc. That is not in dispute, however then we get to the interesting part.

The second half of the card reads "and, at the end of the Combat phase, it may perform an additional attack with an equipped [turret upgrade]. If it performs this attack, it cannot attack this around again."

So which out of these scenarios is correct:

The Phantom is docked, and as a result The Ghost may fire with it's turret upgrade at the end of the combat phase.

The Phantom is NOT docked, however the card allows The Ghost to make an additional attack with its turret upgrade at the end of the combat phase.

Due to how it is written, you could go either way with the rules. Personally I think the latter sounds more in keeping with what we can see in the show.

I think we need an FAQ or at least a designer to step in and answer what the card was intended to do.

I think you are overthinking this one too much. Everything on the Phantom card is dependent on the "While you are docked" clause at the strart of that sentence.

The Ghost only gets the extra attack while the Phantom is docked. The extra attack is made by the turret upgrade on the VCX-100 and not the turret upgrade equiped to the Assault Shuttle.

FFG never answers questions on the forum. Submit a rules question email to them if you really want to.

No need to ask ffg. The post above yours is absolutely correct.

What turret can it use?

Any turret upgrade you have equipped to the Ghost. Ion Cannon Turret, Blaster Turret, Dorsal Turret. Whatever you like.

Twin Laser Turret is also possible, but not recommended due to anti-synergy.

You left out the single best turret combo for the Ghost - Autoblaster turret + accuracy corrector :)

or FCS because it's actually useful on primary as well ^_^

Depends if you intend to undock the attack shuttle early or keep it until the ghosts about to die, in the former case you'll use that turret alot more.

If you're planning on maximizing use of the autoblaster turret with the title (which is how I fly it), accuracy corrector is absolutelyl better to guarantee 4 damage on a target of choice. Without the title then FCS is good to maximize use of the primary.
