5 TIE Bombers with Seismic Charges? Seems not ideal, but potentially very satisfying.

bland and boring how? (genuine question)

There's nothing, other than the generics, that I'm really looking forward to actually fly.

It might be my general skepticism about 2.0 filtering it through negativity lens, but I'm not seeing particular gameplay related step forwards. Almost Every upgrade seem weak, astromech is just regen or pseudo regen slot, turrets feels completely noob traps other than few notable and scary exception.

It's either set up your ace by stacking supporting effect, abuse luke crew/high ps turrets or generic spam. The first two arent something im looking forward to play and even the latter im not so fond of.

Still plenty of time and things to be spoiled to prove me right thought, I'm really hoping to be jus excessively pessimistic

Would it help if we all noted the things that actually excite us in the pack?

I'd like to have try for some #hype, given the dash news.


For me (no particularly order):

1. Luke Pilot (actually #1, in order)
2. Norra Y/ARC
3. Seismic Charges
4. Wedge (god that's weird to say)
5. A U-Wing, named or otherwise (What is happening?)
6. Arvel (Dankest timeline)

Jesus....I didn't even think of that. I hope that's not a thing even though technically at this point it could be since they are red....

3. Homing Missiles

4. Homing Missiles

5. Proton Rockets

Homings are super cool. Z95 clipping you in arc range 3 obstructed? Would you prefer a damage or do you believe? I have to assume they're dirt cheap or there's no reason for them to exist and that's awesome.

Inb4 Homers cost 6+ and become useless.

What's the most they could cost to be viable? 3? 4?

Somewhere in the 2-5 range I'd imagine. Oh wait, 2 charges? 3-6?

Looking forward to running an A-Wing swarm with Prockets maybe.

Potential mess about other ships technically obstructing attacks but not giving green dice by default incoming as well- Wedge Dash arguments for everybody!

Still reviewing. Totally a “wtf thats weird FFG did another preview artic... OH WAIT WTF???!” moment this morning seeing it was spoiled, but early underrated pilots- Leebo. Spend a token, get a token. There is something there.

I'm excited to fly classic Rebel fighters against classic Imperial fighters again... and by again, I mean, outside of controlled scenarios made up in casual settings... TIE swarms look fun. Generic Interceptors got a boost. A-Wings should benefit from this new system as well. Those were fun to fly in the first months of me playing X-Wing (and rarely ever since except meme lists... Sorry @Wiredin)

1.) 4 well equipped generic Interceptors.

2.) 4 well equipped generic X-wings.

3.) 5 low PS Interceptors.

4.) TIE Fighter Ace Swarm.

5.) TIE Fighter Howlrunner/Academy Swarm.

#hype for:

Lando Pilot and Crew.

Wedge

Y-Wing named pilots have interesting abilities with being at range 1 of enemy ships and range 1 of each other (besides Dutch)

A-Wings, maybe swarms with missiles like Homing or Concussion

Ten Numb and Braylen Stramm. Great synergy with their linked action and dials.

Excerpt from the autobiography of the developers-

'I was only 9 years old. I loved Dash Rendar so much, I had all the merchandise and Video games. I'd pray to Dash Rendar every night before I go to bed, thanking for the life I've been given. "Dash is love", I would say, "Dash is life". My dad hears me and calls me a bad player. I knew he was just jealous for my devotion of Dash. I called him a scrub. He slaps me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel something touch me. It's Dash Rendar. I'm so happy. He whispers in my ear, "While you move, you ignore obstacles". He grabs me with his powerful low-polygon hands, and puts me on my hands and knees. I spread my cheeks for Dash. He penetrates my doghnut-hole. It hurts so much, but I do it for Dash. I can feel my doghnut tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Dash. He roars a mighty roar, as he fills my doghnut with his love. My dad walks in. Dash looks him straight in the eye, and says, "While you perform an obstructed attack, the defender rolls 1 fewer defense die. After you fully execute a maneuver, if you moved through or overlapped an obstacle, you may remove one of your red or orange tokens." Dash Rendar leaves through my window. Dash is love. Dash is life. '

Oh, it’s good to know Max Brooks favorite video game growing up was Shadows of the Empire.

bahahha thats fine. But fly my meme list, you'll like it, I promise

I'm so pumped that my list has largely remained intact going over to 2.0. Just with Shera now instead of Norra!

Wedge/Jan Ors/Shera Bey. Yup, I'm set. lets do this!

I'm sad that players are not getting the 2.0 they dreamed of, but rather reheated 1.0.

It would have been simpler and cheaper to just tack on the variable points app to 1.0, keeping everything the same and investing efforts into balancing through cost.

Outrider, luke crew dash sounds inexplicably broken

1 hour ago, Tlfj200 said:

Agreed I hope it costs like 140+, or Dash does not have gunner or ept or something.

I kinda get Luke breaking the game as he was the hero (though not the best character) of the core cannon of our Universe, the IV-VI movies. But, I still DON'T like bringing the 360 Turret into 2.0. That was/is a STUPID decision.

With that off my chest, this Dash love from the developers is kinda weird. I loved Shadows of the Empire too, but Dash was never at Darth Vader level, not Han Solo level, not Boba Fett level. He needs to be put in his cannon-ic place, and certainly not be the top ship. But h**l, I have to admit, Dash is better to hold that than Miranda, whoever that chick is.

...now where's my tea?

Fingers crossed - no gunner crew slot on the YT2400

When I saw the file for xwing 1.5 that was put together, I was curious as to why cassian andor crew was banned as he was largely a non issue upgrade throughout his existence. I was told 2.0 was removing perfect knowledge or training wheel upgrades.

I believe the correct phrase I should have used at that time was “I don’t believe you”.

Dash + Outrider + Trickshot feels like I'm being trolled by FFG. We all thought we were free. But Fantasy flight be like:

We still don't know upgrade slots, costs or anything... so many comments being made with a v1 slant and perception.

Dash will be good, as a UK player, Leebo will be too ... Lando is great, it looks like more thematic synchronization is occurring (Lando with Nien Nunb crew being as much of a gimme as Rey Finn was in v1)

Curious... hypothetical point costing here... but if Dash with Luke Gunner and Outrider plus some EPT like expert handling costed 150 points out of 200 (3/4s the list) will this be ok? I have no concept or correctness or reason for this number... Just seeing what people think.
