So the Rebel conversion kit will just include all the ships cards and upgrades and bases already developed for the new X65 and the new Y wing. But there's no way they're putting in like, new ships and dials for every single Rebel ship in 1.0.

Force powers work on charges. Darth Vader will have 3 charges Ezra will have 1. Think of them as a focus token, or used to power force upgrades.

They said they're for every single released 1.0 released ship AND the first wave expansions.

They'll be making balance changes to point costs, abilities, even ship slots via the app.

How are they handling upgrade cards? Are there new versions of cards in the upgrade boxes? Is it all in the app?

Devlan Mud posted:Im not paying $290 plus dollars so i can use the stuff Ive already purchased. So...don't. Buy just the new stuff (core + new expansions). You don't have to buy the backwards compatibility packs unless you want to. Or drop it entirely. Honestly I can't think of a better way to do this. You don't have to buy new ships. They're giving you (an unknown number of) components that allow you to play every single ship you already own in a bigass box for $50 per faction.

Funzo posted:How are they handling upgrade cards? Are there new versions of cards in the upgrade boxes? Is it all in the app? There probably won't be a 1:1 equivalent for many/most of the upgrade cards. And with new mechanics there's probably a bunch they no longer need. They haven't said it directly, but I expect there to be a vastly simplified upgrade list. Edit: Hell I expect some pilots won't make it either. Ability to play every existing ships in the conversion kits doesn't mean that literally everything will be translated 1 to 1. ConfusedUs fucked around with this message at 18:38 on May 1, 2018 |

Need a new core set even if you buy the conversion kits. There is a line down the middle of templates to help you align with dots on the bases. That's really nice.

And they just dropped that lists are 200 points. Same size game (number of ships), but greater granularity

The T-65 in the article has Blue maneuvers at 1 and 2 banks and straights and native Tallon Rolls. This is the best.

The beautiful lion-maned man is Frank Brooks. I had no idea how he looked before today lol. There are now "ship abilities" which apply to all ships of that type. Would cover stuff like "adaptive ailerons," where all ships of that type just have that ability. Not all ships have ship abilities. These are in addition to pilot abilities.

It sounds like upgrades and upgrade costs will all be handled with the app.

App having upgrade cards means you probably need the copy of the physical card anyway, but the app would handle all the points costs. Of course, while this would curtail accidental cheating by honest people, I can only imagine the fun list cheating shenanigans

That's amazing that they are introducing "charges" or force tokens or whatever for pilot abilities. Allows greater granularity for when a pilot ability can activate, rather than the current breakdown of always on/once per round/once per game. Like Iden's card has an ability that spends a lightning token for it. Also, there's now a range zero!
