If a ship uses an upgrade that stipulates that it is to be discarded (ie. Lando), do you have to pay to re-equip or does he come back automatically? I searched the CC rulebook and didn't find anything. Sorry if this has been asked before, but my search-fu is weak.

The card is still equipped to your ship and is still in your list.

Next time you go to battle you will be able to use it again - no extra cost.

Its something that is essentially unanswered in the CC Rules,

However,

in the Core and Tournament rules, Discarding is to turn Face-Down... Its still equipped, its just Face-Down and thus, Un-useable... It counts as being equipped for the ship for scoring purposes if it was expended before the ship dies, and it is still an upgrade on that ship.


"• If a ship’s upgrade card is discarded, it is flipped facedown but remains equipped for the purposes of scoring."

You can potentially infer from that, that they would not have to be re-purchased... because a lot of them, as you point out, with Lando and Walex and the fleet commands, are also unique, and thus, you would potentially be opening the door to never being able to re-equip them, if you read the rule another way...

Not discounting it as possible - but it seems unplasuable - That makes certain things hardcore.

Thanks!
