The other, possibly dumber option is a pair of TLT Y-wings. Any thoughts?

Lothal Rebel with FCS + Hera + Saw is 39. Toss in a turret (autoblaster or Synched) and maybe Tac Jammer or APL.

The stuff they're giving away for the launch tournament is actually better then I was expecting. Should be a fun time.
They've also announced that everyone in the launch tournament will get tickets enabling the purchase of 2.0 stuff at Gen Con. Still have to stand in line, but at least I know I can get stuff if I want it.

What's being given away? I've already got my ticket for the 9:00am one, but no idea what I might get outside of the core and a ship.

edit: nevermind, found it on the site...

To see its path...
The tractor rules don't jive with what i remember from the lead-up. If i bump Unkar Plutt into someone and he gains a token, according to the rules my opponent would decide whether i boost or barrel roll. And for the roll the tractored ship decides the direction of the roll???

Oooooo this is smart:

There is no longer any difference between "unique" and "limited" cards. They're all called "limited" cards. And you can have as many limited cards of the same name as their are dots.

Like Luke Skywalker has one dot. You can only have one Luke Skywalker card of any kind.

I don't think there are any two- or three-dot Limiteds yet, but there's some cool design space there.

Edit: Like Mindlink, if it exists, could be a two-dot or three-dot Limited

Just like the old Decipher ccg

Edit: no sign of losing your action if you fail a boost/br or lock...

I think the wording is from the perspective of the player who owns the ship receiving the tractor token(s). So it should read "After your ship becomes tractored, the opposing player may choose one of the following effects:"

I noticed this, too. Though, the language from 1.0 saying "If you are unable to complete this action, you may choose to perform a different action" is conspicuously absent. Also absent is any mention of being able to Lock friendly ships or obstacles, which was specifically stated in demos.

Looking at the old rulebooks, the 2.0 PDF that's been released, while called "Rulebook," is similar to the Learn to Play rulebook from the TFA core set. It gives the basic rules of the game, but lacks specifics that are mentioned in further detail in the Rules Reference book. For example, the section on Barrel Rolls in Learn to Play is half as long as in the Rules Reference book.

So what we have is only a portion of the full rule set. I'm pretty sure we're fine.

I like the second one better, simply because I feel that AdvSens isn't as good at lower PS.

I also feel that double ISB slicers is kind of overkill. You can't double-jam someone.

quote:

After you perform a jam action against an enemy ship, you may choose a ship at Range 1 of that ship that is not jammed and assign it one jam token.

Ships are considered at range one of themselves, so with one jam action and two ISB slicers, you can potentially:
a) strip three tokens off of one ship
b) strip two tokens off of one ship and leave it stuck with a jam token
c) strip two tokens off one one ship, and one token off of another ship
d) strip one token off of one ship, one token off of another ship, and leave one of those two ships jammed
e) strip one token off of three ships
f) strip one token off of two ships, and leave a third ship jammed

Can anyone tell me which ships they won't be re-releasing under 2.0 (in the interest of picking those up before they become impossible to find)?
