When docked with the Ghost, the Phantom II can preform a coordinate action correct? Then can you coordinate the Ghost? Or does it only work with ships it is not docked with?
Thx for future responses!
Ghost and Phantom II question.
oh, one more thing, with the new chopper can you equip the title card for the phantom without the ghost present to regain a possible shield?
Negative on both of those. While docked, the sheathipede isn't the one performing the coordinate action, the VCX is. And coordinate is allowing another friendly ship at range a free action, meaning you could not target yourself (the VCX) with that ability. Likewise, you only equip the phantom title due to the instruction of the ghost title, hence the lack of printed cost.
ok thx

Do you mean this one?
Because this "Chopper" is an Astromech upgrade, not a Crew upgrade, and as such can only go on the Sheathipede*, and cannot be used while the Sheathipede is docked.
Both abilities on the Phantom II title require the Sheathipede to be docked in order to work, but once you deploy the Phantom II, the title becomes redundant and any abilities or upgrades on the Sheathipede can now be used, so Chopper could now discard the title to recover a shield if needed. Be aware that you can only use Chopper to recover a shield if you've already lost one, and you can't exceed your starting shield value.
* or any other ship with an Astromech upgrade slot
That wasn't the question though.
The question was if you can use the Phantom 2 title without a Ghost on the board. And the answer is no - the Phantom titles don't have printed costs (and indeed, IIRC the latter one doesn't actually specify on the card that it's a Title upgrade, so there's no way to equip them alone.).
The complete answer is no, and if you do use the Ghost title, you MUST equip the associated Phantom title to the relevant ship and it MUST be docked at the start of combat. Neither is optional.
It was also answered upthread
I can see that, but I could also see that he was trying to see if he could equip the Phantom II title as an expendable upgrade for Chopper either with or without using a VCX.
Also wasn't sure if he was aware that the latest version of Chopper was an Astromech upgrade and not a crew upgrade.

Since the title says the Ghost may perform a free coordinate action and coordinate says you must choose another friendly ship at Range 1-2, the Ghost could not coordinate with itself. It would need to be another ship on the board not docked with the Ghost.
