evades on a jump master?

By churchwarden, in X-Wing

So manaroo can pass all target locks, focus, and evade tokens. ... just wondering.... how does one get an evade onto the jump master in the first place?

Cool Hand

Hmm. .... is that it? Any other more consistent ways? any crew or Droid?

Just because it has trouble doing it now, doesn't mean it won't be able to do it in the future.

The Stygium Particle Accelerator for example only worked on the TIE Phantom when it came out, but it was apparent from the design that another cloaking option was coming, which it did.

Jumpmaster can't use the cloaking device.

Cool Hand is the only way right now, but I have a feeling they just future proofed Manaroo's ability. I sure hope so, the YV-666 could use some evades.

I keep forgetting the small ship only bit.

The future will probably bring a Jan Ors like abillity to the Scum faction

Atanni Mindlink with another ship that can do the evade action?

Mindlink only does Focus and Stress tokens.

Hmm. ..... I wonder if they put that in there for 1) future considerations or 2) crossfaction squads....

Future-proofing hopefully. Possibly forgetfulness.

A game with two sides with players using different factions could make a possible chance of a ship getting an evade token from a different player's ship effect. Many of those types of effects say friendly ship instead of your ship.

The definition of the "friendly ship" is "ships controlled by the same player".

It won't be unlikely that they will introduce Aphra from the Vader comics to the Scum faction at some point. (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aphra)

I think her persona would justify an evasive ability like Jan Ors has. Also cant wait to have 0-0-0 and BT-1 (basically the dark versions of 3PO and R2D2) to see as crew members :)

I think it is inevitable that we get an evade token through an illicit upgrade some point in the future.

Maybe we'll get a new Salvaged astromech:

Smokescreen -

Discard this card and deal yourself a face down damage card:

For the rest of the game, whenever you are attacked, assign an evade token to this ship.

Roll a damage die at the end of the end phase, on a FOCUS result deal yourself a face down damage card.
