Really, anything can use this card well. I find my small ships are usually very close to obstacles, and giving things like the Silencer, SF, and GUNBOAT access to evade tokens is powerful.
Tried two of these last night with an attack Upsilon:
Rho Squadron Veteran: Debris Gambit, XG-1, HLC, Linked
It was great. Move, two evades, defend against multiple attacks with an extra evade, and shoot with modded four dice. Amazing.
I will just drop this here...
Green Squadron Pilot + Chardaan + Debris Gambit + Juke + Autothrusters (23)
Jake Farrel + Chardaan + Debris Gambit + Juke + Experimental Interface (29)
Corran Horn + Swarm Leader + FCS + R2-D2 + Shield/Engine Upgrade (48)

Amen Sir, Amen to 
that!
When I saw this upgrade, I couldn't help but go all Amigara about it.
I can't wait to try this on a whole host of ships, seeing as I tend to stay tight to the asteroids for most of the game. There are any number of builds that could be absolute murder in the endgame, so long as you are good at flying in between obstacles. Just offhand, going with a sort of "spared no expense" build:
Test Pilot "Blackout" (31)
Debris Gambit (2)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Advanced Optics (2)
Experimental Interface (3)
First Order Vanguard (2)
Advanced sensors to take an action like boost or barrel roll to get where you need to be, EI to get the Evades, then green maneuver to clear the stress. Just keep slipping in and out of asteroids. Of course, you won't always need to do your action before you move, that dial has a lot of greens so you should be set for the next round no matter what you do. Done right, your opponent won't have a lot of evade dice and you could be netting 1-2 evade tokens per turn.
This will be nice on lower PS ships with an EPT like the Black Sq. Scout (TIE Striker)
Black Squadron Scout (20)
Debris Gambit (2)
Stealth Device (3)
Adaptive Ailerons (0)
Total: 25
Black Sq. Pilot TIEs, Green Sw. A-wings, Tansarii Point Vets...
The sky 100 points is the limit.
I dunno.
The thing is, a lot of the ships which want to spend an action generating evade tokens already have the ability to do so.
I can see it being nice on:

This one actually doesn't work well as Comm Relay says you cannot have more than 1 evade token, so it undercuts the utility of being able to get 2.

I think I could keep this Poe alive forever.

Nym and Sol Sixxa with a crap ton of cluster mines, TLT and moving in circles around an asteroid. 1 evade dice, evade tokens, +1 evade if the shot goes through a mine, + 1 evade dice if through an asteroid.
Might work... must be boring to fly though.

That and Blackout hiding in asteroid fields will be point fortresses. Otherwise, might be a response to high-die alphas that have been happening. If you can get someone to spend their harpoons or cruise missiles while you have obstruction and evade token stacks, it may be helpful.
I dunno, not real big on this card although its another option for Youngster. /shrug
I like how this might be an excuse to take out those Seismic Torpedoes...
This is such a good thing to have for some of those ships that could really use an evade token.
TalonBane Cobra? Short of EI is there a way to get him a focus for offense?

Manaroo at range 1 is all I can think of.

For 1 turn at least. Which is kind of how long he lasts.

Correct. But whilst you can't hang on to 2, it means you can have 1 even when not in range 1 of an obstacle when you need it....
Assuming they've been deployed with no overlap of their range 1 'bubbles', about 1/4 of the board is at range 1 of an obstacle; the trick will be controlling rock placement and where the engagement actually happens to make sure that you have the action available when you want it.
Comm relay lets you 'snag' an evade as you pass, in return for not getting a double-evade if it would have been an option on the turn in question.

Isn't intensity almost always a much easier way to accomplish the "getting an evade action" to charge up comm relay? Are there any ships with a tech slot that can't boost/BR?

Intensity requires that you actually perform a boost or barrel roll, and it also costs you a focus token later on to recharge if the evade gets spent.
Debris gambit costs the same, and gives the evade immediately, and can do the same again next turn if someone makes you spend the evade. Intensity is only better if you get a free action somewhere, like Jake, Poe(kinda), FA astro, or Vader.

Like ive said in numerous posts, i wish Adv Cloaking didnt exist and the phantom was built a bit tankier and had 3agi. That way being caught w/o cloak wouldnt autokill it.
Unfortunately right now thats the case. It NEEDS to fire first or arcdodge to survive. Despite being +1hp over an interceptor it dies much much easier when not cloaked.
You can use LWF, I know it's not the same but its something
30 minutes ago, "Quickdraw" said:You can use LWF, I know it's not the same but its something
Kinda, but that also gives up Stygium, which is pretty crucial sometimes.
The act of cloaking itself is not that great of a defense boost. 4naked dice is great but generally 2+evade is more reliable.
I actually just flew my double-31pt phantoms (fcs/tactician/stygium) + x7 Stele list and yeah the auto evade is clutch more often than i'd like to admit lol. It also makes the decloak to attack safer because you usually have focus+evade, i never got hit with a 5die attack but if i got hurt at all it was just 1 damage. (the idea is to goat people into thinking Stele is the problem as he can easily eat the 5die attacks, and it usually works lol)
What about
Countess Ryad with x7+PTL+Twin ion engine
Delta squadron with Linked battery+Stealth device
Sigma squadron with FCS+Stygium

I think it's off topic.

When you have comm relay the action economy question with intensity as not really as relevant, particularly when compared to debris gambit which for the same price doesn't improve it either when using comm relay. If you're not ever going to get 2 evades (due to comm relay) it's of even more questionable value.
