Who ya gonna call?

The Ghost expansion is the first expansion to incorporate source material from the animated Star Wars Rebels series into X-Wing, we are now up to Wave VIII. As yet another, large ship for the Rebels (I am seeing a trend here), it also comes with the a "shuttle", the Phantom, which is in it's own right a rather potent vessel. I digress though, let us focus on the Ghost for the time being...

First, I would like to say, that I really like the lines of this ship, IMHO it is a good looking ship and from what I have read it is larger than the VT-49 Decimator! With 4 attack, 0 agility, 10 hull, and 6 shields, evade, target lock and focus actions. The icon bar has system upgrade, turret, 2 torpedoes, and 2 crew slots. Compared to Lando Calrissian in the YT-1300 it is 4 points cheaper. In terms of durability it is also better than a YT-1300 and pretty much dead even with a VT-49 Decimator. Speaking of which, it has a better attack than a VT-49 Decimator.

Feeling bad because you are not getting an elite pilot upgrade on the icon bar?

Temper that with the fact that you got your choice of any green or red maneuvers on your dial depending on which of those two you opted for. Try figuring out where this ship is going to be at the end of a maneuver phase is going to be problematic.

Overall...the Ghost is going to give the Rebels another large ship that is going to be a very tough nut to crack!

Next up...we will look at the Phantom.
