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!
