So after studying the contents picture I'm wondering what we haven't seen yet. There are extra ship cards under the face up VSD and Rebel ships, unique versions perhaps? Although I don't see any space that could be used for special abilities on the ship card, maybe they will have slightly different stats?
Second thought on the core, will there be a second fighter type included for both factions? There are ten squadrons included (and the article showed one squadron as 3 ships, so massive amounts of itty bitty fighters) which could maybe be a 3/2 distribution for say TIE Fighters and Interceptors. I'm guessing Squints over Bombers as two can be clearly seen on the box art. I wasn't able to make out any others though.
There's what looks to be a fairly hefty damage deck and a selection of upgrades. Between the two ship cards we can see there are 7 different upgrade types, of which the CR-90 and VSD share 2. Neb Bs look like they might have taken a shaft with only 3 upgrades. There's 15 upgrade cards pictured and two of them appear to be some sort of "leader" type. Tarkin is obvious and it looks like Dodonna is next to him. Also interesting to note is the three different card sizes. Fighters are normal, upgrades and damage deck look to be the same as X-wing and the Cap cards are big. Orange is tarot size sleeves.
All in all I'm very curious and can't wait to see if we get any more official news before Gencon.
Anyone found anything I may have missed?
