I'm guessing that like the Fang Fighter, the Interceptor will make use of the Afterburner upgrade for its boost broll shenanigans.

Is there a new Super EPT slot. On the TIE Adv. Threat card Vader has Supernatural Reflexes with a different icon. Maybe Force pilots only?

CODChimera posted:I am quite surprised so many people in here are defending the price so passionately. It's expensive for some cardboard and arguments like "Well I only play 1 faction" or "__ is more expensive" are pretty poor. $50 to bring dozens of my ships up to scratch at once is a steal.

lofi posted:No, it isn't. FFG are clearly planning a major profit on this, there's no need to lick their balls for deigning to sell you a fix for the game.  Pretty sure everyone here realises that FFG isn't a charity organisation, sport. The pricing model is a straight up improvement over their rebel aces, veterans, guns for hire ship fix model. People are pleased because the whole announcement is pretty much the best case scenario that has been spitballed around about Xwing 2.0.

Afterburners is the new Engine upgrade, and although the boost is a free action, it only has 2-3 charges and you must complete a speed 3-5 manoeuvre. It's small - medium ship only. The absolute best change is Blinded Pilot. It just means your next attack you can't modify dice, other than using the force! Balanced and Thematic!

ConfusedUs posted:Get a second, fancy damage deck if you pre-order. Includes a diagram of the physical location of each crit, and it's full-sized instead of mini sized. The upside of this is that there'll be spare damage decks going around for even the poorest players who want to get in on 2.0.

The limiting factor here is the new dials. You'll only have 3 new Xwing dials with conversion plus core. The Saw's Renegades pack will have a 4th, so one Xwing expansion will put you at 5 new dials.

Fenn Rau is going to be so good in 2.0 in 1v1 (now that fearless is a legit EPT choice for him) but he can't just engage a swarm or take multiple shots. He'll be like a wolf prowling the flanks.

The only other World's final without a turret was 2013 TIE swarm vs Biggs walks the dogs. Probably why it's the first interesting final for the last 5 years. (heaver v eide was alright I guess)

Strobe posted:With no pilot skill fuckery allowed and natively the highest pilot skill in the game, plus ship abilities and pilot abilities that are at worst on par and arguably better than in 1.0, and the ability to use force points as focus tokens in a pinch, Vader in 2.0 is significantly better than before. Still no hard 1 though so certified garbage tier Starvipers had better keep their funky barrel roll!!!

Some Numbers posted:Oh man, Afterburners only has two charges? That's unfortunate. 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.

Acebuckeye13 posted:People keep saying this and all I can say is: Bullshit. I don't doubt that FFG is going to do their best, but there's no loving way they're going to be able to balance the game to the point that all 49 ships are going to be valid and competitive. The overall balance is going to be much better than it used to be, and I doubt ships like the HWK are still going to be outright trash, but expecting every ship in your arsenal to be competitive in the new edition is just asking to be grossly disappointed.

Raged posted:Here is a half decent google doc with a lot of the 2.0 info. Most we know, but there is some new stuff in there. No, don't freak out they paraphrased it badly. Ships can spend Palps token as if it were their own. I.e. It's a force token anyone can use, but it still only turns one eyeball result.

I just saw the TIE ace that can cancel damage once per game  I also realised that a 7 tie swarm is totally doable with just a new core and one conversion kit. Because you'll have Howlrunner, the Biggs TIE and 5 generics. Tiles and cards shouldn't be a problem. You'll only be short one dial and they've already confirmed that the TIE/ln dial didn't change.

always be closing posted:Is that link in the op still my best bet to get caught up on everything so far? 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)

There's usually way too much going on in a game of Xwing to have it easily represented on a smartphone screen, especially with the amount of cards with individual charges now. Not to mention issues with syncing, tech in general etc.

I'm dropping Rebels and (probably) First Order, and trying to fill holes in scum and imperial line up. I think cutting down to three factions should keep me with at least one that's good at any point in time. Looking forwards to flying a Fang swarm. One thing I realised about Conversion kits is that you won't really be able to swap as freely as you imagine. For example, the Rebel kit comes with the pieces for two YT-2400. But you'll still only have one Dash card & one Dash base, because although they'll include multiples of generics and two dials, why would they include 2 copies of a unique pilot. Unless you don't want a ship at all, only want the generic (hello Lambda) or are fine with proxied cards and tiles, then it's not much good. Unless your one of those loons who needs multiple kits, then of course you'll be swimming in unique pilot doubles. hoiyes fucked around with this message at 23:13 on May 23, 2018 |

banned from Starbucks posted:Theres no way a YT-2400 deserves to be over 100 points...even Dash. People are seriously misremembering what wave 1-3 was like. 4 dice with a focus or naked if you need to roll is over half your list? Get real. Umm classic dash was like 58 points for a long time and people paid the price willingly because he was a monster. I don't really consider Dash to have been nerfed in any way for 2.0, losing two arcs for dice in the donut is probably an even trade, and the new outrider title is bloody good. Furthermore, they're really cranking up the premium on ace-level pilots. Maybe Leebo will be sub-100, but if you expect the new Dash build to be less than 100, you're going to be disappointed. I think people are expecting him to have a Gunner slot, which will put his power curve to the stupid level, something like Bistan on him would just be dirty. I hope FFG has adhered to the fluff on this one, as apparently dash ripped out the Gunner position to fit the cannons and they're controlled by Leebo in the cockpit.

banned from Starbucks posted:Yes people paid 58 points because (at one time) you got 58 points worth of a power boost that made him good. Other ships are getting their old upgrades baked in i seriously doubt theyre points are gonna skyrocket that high For sure those points are getting baked in as well though. Also, I should clarify that I mean a basic Dash build will be over 100, not the pilot with nothing else.
