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.

We've known about both since the first demo games.

This bugged me a lot until I realised that they needed to also include the actual picture of the bomb token to show which one to use.

But I'm sure they could have done it somehow, even so.

And nonetheless, it's a step not-forwards, rather than a step back, so I shrug and say welp and move on.

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.
Not pparticularly more so than 1e. The small ship pack costs have gone up a bit, but the large ship ones have gone down, and if you can scalp a ragequitter's old ships on ebay for cheap, the conversion kits will make it a breeze.

Well you're in luck! There are probably already a bunch of people dumping their collections on ebay or facebook marketplace or whatever, and you can probably get some plastic real cheap, then just augment with the upgrade kit of your choice. ezpz

And turn the inner eye
To see its path...
The core set comes with two TIEs, the conversion kit has cardboard for four ebay ones plus a fuckton of other stuff. Maybe six six fighters and a phantom works?

Threepio can't guess zero any more, but he has a straight up buff to the calculate action(which he provides)

Leebo's ability is neat.

Lando always gives you something now.

Kanan's abiliy is definitely.. different. I suspect if you're not considered to be in your firing arc, it means he can only protect others now. Kanan crew does the same thing as before now, basically.

Hera crew is now limited- I think the idea is basically that abilities that let you stack stress tend to have a limit.

Lone Wolf is 1/turn now.

They've said you won't have to buy new ships to get new content in Wave 2 and on. The assumption is card-only packs.

I was worried too but remember we don’t know point costs yet. Also, the benefit of how evade dice and evades work will hurt the larger ships. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of ways for ships to mitigate insane amounts of damage anymore. Lone wolf only works once a round, reinforce can only cancel down damage to a minimum of one, etc.

I know Dash or a Falcon was part of a two-ship list, but with how things are trending, two ship lists might be too weak to handle larger numbered lists.

Speaking of hurting larger ships, the bulls-eye arc abilities all trigger easier against large (and medium to some extent) bases.

And as it's already been stated, we don't know if the YT2400 has a Gunner slot, or even a Crew slot for that matter. Or if it does have a Gunner slot, it could be removed if Dash is too good.

The 2400 on its own is a monster.

If even the generic doesn't cost a minimum of 100 points I'd be really, really worried about it.

I like the E-Wing special rule, and I like that they have both boost and barrel roll natively. Also that Corran's ability is bullseye only, and that E-wings get an extra hull.

Man I'm pumped.

The title is not the important part. The fuckign 4 die primary which has no donut hole is the important part.

If the old one is anything to go on, the unique HLC turret cost 42 at a bare minimum on a lovely generic, remove the donut hole and that probably goes way up.
