Vizago + Cloaking Device + C-Roc = Fun for the Whole Family?

By Covered in Weasels, in X-Wing Epic Play

I hope this combo works the way I think it will work. Huge ship boosts will probably work a little differently than for smaller ships, but the mental image of an invisible frigate is good enough that I want to run this.

It would be but cloak is small or medium ship only

Cik ignores squad building limitations (those limitations only apply during list building) when his ability is used. So you'd swap an illicit that is legal in Squad building for the C-ROC to the ship carrying the cloaking device and the cloaking device would move to the C-ROC.

Exactly. This trick already works for putting a Cloaking device on a Shadowcaster or other large ship.

I did not realize that. Still, I would be amazed if there was not something in the huge rules saying you can swap the upgrades, but the huge ship canott use the cloak effect or barrel roll. etc.

I’m assuming huge ships cannot boost, barrel roll, slam, or cloak.

But hey, who knows?

Like the idea.

I have been racking my brain to get a good use out of Vizago and a large cloaked ship in normal game, but no real success so far. Mostly because I have way more ideas than I have time to test.

Cloaked C-ROC 🤣 Now that's classic Scum. I'll just do a huge ship barrel roll/boost. I hope this is possible, not sure it's necessarily broken as it can only be done twice at most, to make the Croc a bit more maneuverable.

At most it'll shift to the side a good bit (that base is wide) and slip forwards or back half a small base length like a large or medium ship. The boost could be scary though. That is allot of ground covered by a 1 straight + Huge base.

You could put Jabba on there and do it plenty more. Seems like a decent way to guarantee 2 defense dice on a support ship. Not sure if that is what they want for huge ships.

It would have to be a good support ship if it's sacrificing 1-3 attacks per round, depending in how you can equip them. But if it was even slightly viable, it would show epic ships can be multi functional

If they retain their ability to debuff and punish stress that you could build them to do in 1.0 then a cloaked C-ROC is going to be interesting.

With the newest rules reference update this is confirmed to be not possible. Slightly disappointing, but probably for the best.
