I like this: there are generic Inquisitors in the TIE Adv Prototype with a force point. Costs more than the non-force generic, of course.

Whoa, they literally balanced the entire game around the TIE Fighter, which is unchanged. Anything whose defenses were too strong for TIEs had those defenses nerfed.

I like that they made Soontirs ability dependant on offense and it now requires some talent

Yup. We've seen 2 so far - sense is Intel Agent at 0-1, spend a force for 1-3. Instinctive Aim is Deadeye, but spending a force rather than a focus.

Goddamnit, more details! All my hopes and dreams on XW2E are pinned on Interceptors being viable again!

Also, how do bombs work, in general, in 2.0? Are they still autodamage? Or do defense dice work now?

They drop in the System Phase (before activation, after planning). They typically deal small amounts of damage, no defense dice.

Seismic Charges blow up rocks and everyone in range 1 of the rock (not in range 1 of the bomb) takes 1 damage.

It's probably that they are going to be balanced by their points cost, which we don't get to see yet. Other than Vader and the Defenders the Imp ships are notably worse than their Rebel and Scum counterparts, but I guarantee they will be 10-20 points less per ship.

I'm all for the standard Imp list being 4-5 ships, with rebels being 3-4, and scum being 2-3.

Some of the ships got more reasonable, some of the ships got more subtle improvements. The generics having the action economy mechanics is really good, too.

What happens if the YV that can fly off the board is the only ship left for that player. Does "in reserve" have a special meaning?

Just ditch the Nashta Pup entirely. You shouldn't be rewarded for losing a ship by getting another ship. Put your points into something else that will help your 666 survive.
