https://imgur.com/a/BcrVtYI Looks like the T-65 pack(or perhaps that part of the starter) got spoiled, and I like the reworking on the generic astromechs. Generic R2 is a regen mech but with fewer uses than R2D2. R4 is now the mech that provides green maneuvers, and scum and rebels now share astromech slots.

Some Numbers posted:Right, hitting harder and hitting more often are the same thing. I think FFG's definitely done some work to make 2 die primaries more effective by basically making everything key off the original roll rather than added results on defense. I suspect the ghost will have reinforce rather than evade for that reason, similar to the changes that came to the firespray.

I'm also pretty sure not every upgrade from 1.0 is going to be in the conversion kits.

ConfusedUs posted:They've never said that there would be 1:1 conversions for everything. Just that every ship will be usable. Depending on the ship, i'd venture to guess that for the normal 4-pilot ships, all the pilots will be there, though their abilities probably won't be the same.

I'm pretty sure you only have to line up the pips for the beginning part of the BR, you can still slide for the destination on BRs. Or maybe Alex was doin' it wrong.

The mods have definitely been toned down from the original, which is nice. I kinda like the generics on highly maneuverable ships having PTL options, it might make the generic interceptor/A-wing/fang more interesting as dogfighters.

The main problem leagues generally have is getting people to play their matches. A lot of people will sign up but not so many will actually finish all the games, particularly if they lose the first few.

TremorX posted:So that card that just shows pilots with some basic loadouts -- is that some kind of reference card or is it relevant? Those are for the quick build thing, basically to give you ideas about how to build a pilot and also something to look at for casual play. FFG hinted at quick build tournament formats as well.

It seems like just about every normal fighter's getting some kind of reposition and the large ships are going to be much more limited in that regard. Maybe a Y-wing will be able to carry ordnance effectively someday.

Bistromatic posted:2.0 looks like a great opportunity to get into the game. I'm currently eyeing scum from the faction descriptions but i got a few months to decide. Am i correct in thinking that a conversion kit would be worth the money as a new player just to have a big pile of upgrades? (and probably to use some ebay ships too) Yeah, a conversion kit would be really helpful if you can scrounge up ships off of e-bay for cheap, or from people getting out.

Wapole Languray posted:In 1 scum are very much a confused mess. Lots of one trick pony ships, weird gimmicky crap, and a few OP and broken things that are the only ones getting flown (Asajj/Jumpmaster). Yeah, 1.0 factions were really collections of ships and upgrades that varied widely. You can kinda see where FFG was going with selfish ships that can put down debuffs, but that's by no means a complete summary of the factions. Hopefully 2.0 leans more into faction identity. We don't know a whole lot about 2.0 scum other than a few of the ships. There are some differences- for example, the HWK-290 is a support ship with a turret available to both rebels and scum. The rebel pilots have abilities like transferring focus to friendlies, boosting a friendly's PS for the shooting phase, and even giving them extra attack dice, whereas the scum HWK-290 has debuffs, like stealing enemy ships' focus or evade tokens, or dropping their PS to 0 during the shooting phase. The most uniquely scum thing there is probably the illicit slots, where you can drop trash behind your ship, get really high and buff your attack/defense, and do free damage to an enemy in exchange for damaging yourself. Neat tricks, basically, though rebels do have access to the illicit slot on the YT freighters these days. Panzeh fucked around with this message at 14:01 on May 5, 2018 |

Alright, that's an interesting change to clusters- you get up to 4 shots, and you can do two attacks with it, as long as it's different targets. Concussions are 3 shots but range 1-3, both are 3 die missiles- it seems like these are kinda meant to be the basic missiles for use with things like A-wings and Z-95s.

hoiyes posted:Ships die fast as heck too, having a couple of clutch boosts will be good, two charges hopefully keeps it affordable, and it's another resource to be managed - fewer no brainer decisions keeps the game interesting. If that card didn't have charges it would probably allow for a lot of easy running away which I don't think is intended.

Smegmalicious posted:That’s a gigantic palp nerf. Force tokens are underwhelming right now unless you either have a way to regenerate them quickly, like Luke, or unless there are going to be awesome force ability cards which we haven’t seen yet. I imagine Palp will be a bit less expensive- being able to have free-floating focus flips in critical situations is still pretty good, and if you really want to you can get him and vader on a decimator for two flips. I think people want Palp to be as ridiculous as he was, but IMO this is probably for the best.

Strobe posted:That's literally what Luke's ability was before. Now it has the added bonus of regening force points even if you roll no focus results. And also he can use it on offense- Luke got a serious buff. Smegmalicious posted:Is Vader’s crew ability confirmed? What is it? We don't know what the text is, but we do know it gives +1 force token to the ship he's on- it looks like he can use a force token to make a ship at range 0-2 flip a damage card up, but it's tough to tell. The problem with old Palp is that he was in the kind of place where there's probably not going to be an appropriate cost for him where he's still viable- it was crazy when it stacked with the token stacking aces, but even with other high value ships with good greens he was insane. Pretty much every imperial list short of crazy missile boat alpha strikes(the result of harpoon insanity) used him, even after the nerf, which indicates I think the card was a bit of a problem designwise.

LanceKing2200 posted: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. 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.

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.
