Question about the Rebel Phantom's off the board status.

By Alec1429, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I am looking to try a build in which I use Nien Nunb, and Jyn Erso on the Ghost, and Jan Ors on the Phantom. I am wondering if while the Phantom is docked Jan Ors can still activate. If yes that is an extremely powerful, as it effectively gives the Ghost a 3rd crew slot. If it doesn't I'll have to replace Nien Nunb for Jan. Thanks!

No.

The only thing that works on the Phantom/2 whilst docked is the Phantom/2 card.

Do what the cards say, not what they don't say.

If my understanding is correct, docked ships are not affected and can not affect ships that are in play except as specifically stated on their ship and upgrade cards.

While the Phantom is docked the Ghost can make rear attacks while the Phantom can make an additional turret attack at the end of the combat phase. The Phantom 2 also allows the Ghost to fire in the rear arc and allows the Ghost a free coordinate action.

A Howlrunner docked to a Gozanti does not allow any rerolls.

Hope that helps.

Fly casual.

I think you'll find that equipping the Phantom title card and having the Phantom still docked allows the Ghost to make the additional turret attack, not the Phantom. It doesn't say anywhere that the Phantom is making the additional attack.

If it were referring to the Phantom being able to attack, it would say "you may perform an attack with an equipped (turret)" instead of "it may perform an additional attack with an equipped (turret)".
