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'm so hype for double YVs. Moralo is gonna be hilarious. And play really well into my tendency to accidentally trap myself in corners.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to fly a ton of Boba + Moralo + something if points are left.

New Boba with the Slave 1 title effectively has the pilot abilities of both versions (Imperial and Scum) from 1.0.

I legit bought a second one in May the Fourth sales.

I enjoyed converting and painting my first one, so why not? Especially now I have an airbrush.

Do we know what the game considers "evading"? The updated old Millennium Falcon title adds an evade action plus this text:

quote:

While you defend, if you are evading, you may reroll 1 defense die.
So defending and evading are different.

What i gathered from the stream is that any time you have an evade token you are evading.

This will be handled solely by the upcoming app so they can change upgrade slots on the fly and restrict which ships can take which upgrades.

Restrictions for the upgrade are on the card. Available slots for ships will be in the app.

I should really watch the stream before asking more questions.

Speaking of, the Ghost and Phantom titles seem to read that you can dock mid-match.

'Evading' is 'have an evade token'.

"..The high ground"
People losin' their poo poo over the 2400 having a less nerfed version of hlc outrider baked in are probably missing the point because ptl doesn't exist and if it were good without ptl/lw, the WSF with outrider would have been a thing.

How about those loving Hawks.

Scum: Torkil being able to lower a enemy ship’s PS to 0 for the engagement phase is going to be beastly.

Reserves sounds like something that could be pretty drat nifty.

It's the latter, because these were from the conversion kit and we know the contents of those, ship wise.

Is that link in the op still my best bet to get caught up on everything so far?

Nice op btw. Super pumped for this, looks like they will improve on the original game a lot, and that was a ton of fun for my friends and I.

One thing about when we used to play was games took a long rear end time. Does 2.0 play any faster or will it come down to us getting more practice?

2.0 looks like it will play faster, but even with 1.0, you can put a 1 hour time limit on the match and finish most games. (always play to a time [60 or 75 minutes] and not total destruction though)

Has anyone talked about HLC being bullseye only? What a weird change.

And A-Wings are looking pretty underwhelming but we'll see.

The HWK looks pretty good. Primary mobile arc, good dial, red jam, focus or lock link to red rotate. 2 die primary.

Moldy Crow title grants a primary front arc 3-die attack, and lets you keep up to 2 focuses at the end of the round

It's a four dice attack that gets a range 1 bonus. Five dice is nuts in 2.0, it should absolutely be something you have to work for.

A-Wings look awesome to me, I'm excited for them. Hoping they all have double EPT built in. Even if not, they're one of two ships that can double reposition natively (though only boost into roll) and two red dude won't be garbage any longer.

That explains it. Was wondering if these might be the rumoured pre-built versions or something. Looks like the HLC is a straight downgrade for Dash now.
