Alright, I have a rules question. Recently my brother and I got into X-wing, and since he was a fan of Star Wars Rebels, I got him the Ghost as one of his ships. Now we've played a few games, and so far things have gone smoothly. But I have a question with how the Ghost and Phantom interact while the Phantom is docked to the Ghost. The Phantom Title card states:

"While you are docked, the Ghost can perform primary weapon attacks from its special firing arc and, at the end of the Combat phase, it may perform an additional attack with an equipped [Turret Symbol]. If it performs this attack, it cannot attack again this round."

Now, does this mean he can attack with the ghost primary attack, then make a turret attack at the end of the combat phase? What about attacking with the turret, then attacking with the Phantom's turret at the end of the combat phase? Does the phantom need to have a turret to use this second turret attack? Does the Ghost?

Replace all the generic reference with the proper noun:

While the Phantom is docked, the Ghost can perform primary weapon attacks from the Ghost special firing arc and, at the end of the Combat phase, the Ghost may perform an additional attack with an equipped [Turret Symbol]. If the Ghost performs this attack, the Ghost cannot attack again this round.

Note that the ability to perform primaries from the special arc, and the ability to take an extra turret shot are not dependent on one another. So you could do any of:

Primary from the front arc, turret

Primary from the rear arc, turret

Torp from the front arc, turret

Torp from the rear arc, turret

Turret, turret

Nothing, turret, though it's unlikely you'd want to actually DO this one.

Alright. Now, does the Phantom need to have the Turret upgrade for the Ghost to gain this second turret attack? Or does the Ghost just need the Phantom to be docked and have a turret installed?

Alright. Now, does the Phantom need to have the Turret upgrade for the Ghost to gain this second turret attack? Or does the Ghost just need the Phantom to be docked and have a turret installed?

The Phantom simply needs to be docked, it does not have to have a turret. This gives both the use fo the rear arc AND the extra shot benefits, but of course, the Ghost has to have a turret equipped to get the extra turret attack.

Mmk then. Looks like he has some extra points to spend. And I'll be crying about how to take down that double-turret attack combo destroys my ties fighters. Thank you everyone for your insight and support. It was great hearing everything you had to say!
