Ghost, Phantom, and Boba Fett

By SylinRhyas, in X-Wing

Looking at an argument on Nova's FB page. There is no question that the Phantom has to stay docked if the Ghost title is removed by Boba Fett by FAQ but does it still get it's shot out of the rear arc and it's turret shot at the end of combat?

The first sentence in the FAQ says "If Boba Fett is used to discard a card that allows an additional card to be equipped during squad building
(such as Royal Guard TIE, R2-D6, or Mist Hunter), any additional equipped cards are not discarded."

Now the Phantom title 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 . If it performs this attack, it cannot attack again this round.

The argument one way says if you remove the Ghost title, the Phantom title will not work because the ship is no longer the Ghost.

The other argument is since the Phantom title stays it's still in use, which the first sentence of the Boba FAQ supports.

Which is it?

Ghost still gets to use the Phantom title.

AKA don't boba the Ghost title. Get rid of something else.

Simple answer to what to remove the Twin Laser Turret upgrade card ; eliminates the double tap and strips the Ghost of it's firepower

The first argument is the one Frank Brooks agrees with. I think either argument holds merit so it would probably end up being the TO's call.
