    If the ghost is on the SHIP ,i think an average ghost is stronger than Nova.

    spectre

    actuallly most ghosts can only sense simple emotions, not complex thoughts, even nova could only really read the thoughts of people she had known for 15 years

    Check it. The Spectre works like a personal ghost vehicle/supply/reconnaisance ship. It can either by 'mounted' with a ghost OR a ghost can control it mentally from a remote position within a certain range, like a drone (not zerg). When the ghost is in the ship its cloak is always on, when remotely controlled it shadowmelds (cloaked when still). The spectre cannot move/operate without a ghost controlling it in some fashion. Also, the spectre's sight range increases the ability/attack range of the ghost (up to a limit)

    Abilities:

    Transfer: The spectre can give some of its energy to its ghost operator
    Jam: The spectre can disrupt all detection including friendly within a large target area. Last 15-20 seconds, during which period the spectre must remain uncloaked and immobile
    Projection: The spectre can make a projection of a unit copied from anything in its range, including itself. The projection cannot move/attack
    Kamikaze: The Spectre can explode itself upon an air or ground target

    Low HP,
    Light-Medium attack ground + air
    Upgrades: Jam ability, additional energy
    50m , 100 v

    I have no idea if this unit would be of any use in a real game, maybe making nuke a little easier to pull off, + mad harassment, desperation ship kiler. Cool unit to think about though,

    I was thinking about a ship only Ghost could operate by using their abilities,so the Overload-like ability for the poltergeist is from the ship itself but only Ghost could operate it.
