Ghost, Phantom & TLT's

By HuwBacca, in X-Wing Rules Questions

My question is this...

If I'm running the VCX100 with the Ghost title card, alongside an attack shuttle that has the Phantom title card, and the Ghost is equipped with a TLT, and the Phantom is docked to the Ghost...

When I shoot, I get to shoot with the Ghost out of it's normal and special firing arc and then get to shoot again using a turret weapon (as per the Phantom card ability). If I use the TLT, will I get to use it twice as per it's card ability giving me a total of 3 shots in one combat? (one from the Ghost, and two from the TLT)

I ask as I watched a Team Covenant vid on youtube and they were saying the TLT would only activate with one shot, not two like the card stipulates???

Also, the Phantom card states that you may attack again with a turret weapon at the end of the combat phase...does this mean at the end of the Ghost's go at combat, or after all other ships have had a chance to shoot?

Sorry for the long-winded rambling questions, hopefully they make sense. Please let me know if you need any clarification on what I'm asking.

This used to be the accepted behavior case since the title states, "If it performs this attack, it cannot attack again this round." and that would prevent the second attack from TLT, but this was altered with a clarification in the FAQ.

"If a VCX-100 is equipped with the Ghost title, has a docked Attack Shuttle equipped with the Phantom title, and performs an attack with a Twin Laser Turret at the end of the Combat phase, that ship can perform the second attack with Twin Laser Turret." - X-Wing FAQ 3.0 "Twin Laser Turret"

The end of the Combat Phase is after every ship has activated during the Combat Phase and immediately before the start of the End Phase .

Can the Ghost with the docked shuttle use the TLT to attack during Combat and again at end of Combat?

Just to clarify...do you get both attacks with the TLT then? So 3 attacks in total in any one combat phase if used with a TLT on the Ghost with the Phantom docked.

When you get to the Ghost in the combat phase, you have 3 options, assuming docked shuttle, TLT, and no torpedo.

1. Attack with 4 (5 at R1) dice out your primary arc.

2. Attack with 4 (5 at R1) dice out your rear arc.

3. Attack using TLT, following its usual mechanics/rules.

At the end of the combat phase, you then get to attack with TLT following its usual mechanics/rules.

At no point does the Phantom actually attack during combat.

Yes. You get both attacks from TLT at the end of the combat phase, so you can have up 4 attacks in total (2 from TLT the when the ship activates for combat, and 2 from TLT at the end of the combat phase) for one round. Or three attacks if you choose to use your primary weapon when activating during combat.
