I only have canyoneyes for you
Reinforce is now front or rear, on any ship that can take it (no longer firing arc).
It now blocks a single damage directionally, but if hit, a minimum of 1 will get through. So if you have 1 hit vs. a reinforced ship, it will still take 1 damage.

Wait, so that A-wing 2.0 will also ship with an A-wing ONLY conversion kit? What would be in that thing? Just the material from the conversion kit? That plus the 2.0 expansion? Something else entirely?

Interesting. I expected it to be more of it only blocks in a quadrant. Like left right fore aft.

They said there is a path to conversion. So the first conversion kit will not be the last conversion kit. So example (From Frank): Any new pilots/Upgrades that come out for the Lambda will be released in some form of a conversion kit. So you will not need to buy the new Lambda if you already own one. So You will need multiple conversion kits, but you'll buy them over time and they will be updated with new stuff.

This is fantastic news.

They sell a product, and you can continue to play 1.0 which you paid for. “I don’t have money” doesn’t mean a company shouldn’t continue to sell products.

Additionally, aside from tournaments you can probably play 2.0 without buying anything using online list builders or the app and just being smart about the new markers on the base.

So if I'm reading this right then the Wave I expansions are going to have the same cards as the conversion kit but they will diverge afterwards (but maybe with future conversion kits to come).

I cannot wait for the colour code changes to the dial, being partially colourblind I have found the red/green difference a struggle at times. Daft but major quality of life improvement.

No "maybe" on the future kits. Otherwise correct.

I hope we get per-wave kits instead of a big kit every few waves to catch up.

I wonder if they plan to set up a public API to query for the squad-building stuff.

It'd enable developers to tie into the same system to build any number of apps, pulling ship/cost/etc data from a central repository.

And there'd be redundancy in case their app poo poo the bed; you could download Some Other App and use it instead in a pinch.

Edit: The Devs of both Yet Another Squad Builder and Aurora said they don't plan on further updates past 1.0.

Now that Force Sensitive crew/pilots are a thing, I'm anticipating a Ben Kenobi crew. It always struck me as odd he never showed up in 1.0

Also hoping for a BT-1 and 0-0-0 crew for Empire.

Mine's pretty bad. There's also a noticeable difference in color for the red and green tokens on the board.

Will be interesting to see how quickly they get through all of this phase. I watched an interview last night with one of the designers, and he said he went to production and distribution and asked "how quickly can we put these things out."

He sounded like he wanted to get through the 1.0 conversion kit phase pretty quickly, I assume so they can get to power creeping past it with pure 2.0 stuff.

One of the local colorblind guys is thrilled about the dial changes, but wants different colors for dice too. That seems manageable though.

Makes sense. If they're putting out smaller conversion kits with the new waves, that's a long time where anyone with a 1.0 collection won't have to buy any new models.

It is. The engine nacelles are also straighter/blockier. It's a good sculpt all around.

They also said they're resculpting the TIE Silencer because they got the scale all jacked up, having limited access to it before the film dropped
