Is it just me who can't find it anywhere or can the Escape craft both deploy using the front and rear guides? It should have the same special rule as the Ghost/phantom just tied to the front guide, instead of the rear right?

Yup, both guides. Hopefully they might add some rules about it soon.

It's only in the rules that come with the Falcon as far as I can tell. I could find it no-where online when I was playing a couple days ago.

The rules reference says front or back. Unless there's something specific to the ship, nothing restricts it using either.

Agreed, just seems a bit silly, especially when they made the Ghost/phantom deployment fluffy.

Yeha, it really ought to have front guides only but it would be on the cards, and it's not.

Ok, just wanted to make sure I had not missed it somewhere.

From the few games I've played, FFG's philosophy seems to be to reign in Rebels and Imperials to the fun, balanced 2.0 we were all hoping for, while refusing to place any such restrictions on Scum.

The Jumpmaster and Shadowcaster would like to have a word with you...

Maybe so far. By the time they're officially released, I'm sure FFG will find some way to make us yearn for the 1.0, pre-nerf Jumpmasters.

It'd have been kind of cool if the Escape Craft came out the front of the YT-1300 and the Attack/Sheath Shuttle out of the rear of the VCX-100. But oh well.
