You can field 5 in 1.0, but it's all PS1 with no upgrades. Might be fun in a "no-meta" match.

I've tried selling upgrade cards on eBay since they announced 2.0 and have had a little success here and there. Someone bought an Defender X7/D set for $12, which was nuts, but mostly it's been like, Juke/Comm Relay selling for $2 free shipping. Mostly things don't sell, which isn't surprising.

On the other hand, ships+bases haven't diminished much at all. If you wanted out all-together, you would do pretty well right now selling out ships. Here's an auction where a guy got $55 or so for 6 ships.

Here's a large collection where the guy also got ~$6 per ship.

Are you selling the cards individually or in little thematic packs? I have a billion cards of every kind and no interest in playing this game until 2.0 is out. Any retailers who still buy cards in bulk out there? Or is Ebay my best bet?

Pretty much everything I've gotten to sell has been a "set." Like both TIE defender titles, both of the A wing things together or comm relay+juke together. Even then, I usually get only a couple of bucks shipped for stuff, but I'm just shipping in regular envelopes and top loaders so it's not a big deal. Two bucks is two bucks.

Since i only got ship models and no cardboard so far i've been wondering: What is the width of the bullseye arc? It looks smaller than a movement template so maybe it's the range ruler width? Wich incidentally is the only template dimension i had trouble finding online. Is it 12,5mm?

Both 15mm

Thanks! I do wonder why they didn't go with 20mm, checking it with a movement template would seem easier.

There are no move templates that reach range 3.

They seem to have ditched Juno Eclipse and given her ability to someone else.

Maul doesn't actually give you a force upgrade, he just lets Ezra take a dark side force upgrade. He would say 'gain a [force icon] slot if he did.

What was your issue with the art they had in 1.0?

They're shown flying down the DS trench, which is pretty fitting.

Fair enough! I also just looked up that artwork for Backstabber and even the artist who made it wasn't entirely happy with it.

And man, I wish the artist who created Gold Squadron Pilot would come out and explain how high they were when they made that commission for FFG.

Where do you read about card art behind the scenes drama? FFG forums?

A bunch of the artists that do commission work for FFG have Deviant Art accounts.

Only new things spoiled are Ion Cannon Turret and I guess Veteran Turret Gunner, that can only be installed in on ships with mobile firing arcs it seems.

Played my first game of X-wing via TTS yesterday, which was I assume 1.0. Had a lot of fun fielding 7 Black Squadron TIE Fighters. Almost won, too. Next time I want to try Phantoms or Interceptors. Interceptors are the coolest TIE.

I'm excited to hear that TIE swarms will be getting some love in 2.0. Sounds expensive to get into fresh tho.
