Wait are you trying to say that 2.0 non-trajectory bombs are still good and not some kinda impossible to understand science?

I don’t know about both Luke and Wedge, but there’s definitely some lists with Wedge that can handle a TIE swarm.
My heart's been broken pretty bad guys, I really just struggle to see or believe what wedge does that's useful in 2.0, especially when compared to his i6 peers, he's once again likely the weakest member of that club. 1.0 broke me pretty hard, I'm not willing to open up again.

Basically.
Luke Norra "x" is a solid list, and handles swarms fine.
If someone likes wedge, he can be an "x".

While we are surfing Wave 1....if you land two crits on a target with Maarek does his Pilot Ability work both times?

I am now declaring the following.
Let me know how much tinfoil is appropriate for this hat.
The card "AFTERBURNERS"
Was supposed to still be called autothrusters. But isn't because of some sort of clerical error or a misinterpreted note somewhere that made it all the way to print.
My evidence...
1- it uses the autothrusters art.
2- The new effect more closely resembles an automated system of some kind helping out.
3- burning alcohol isn't hot enough to melt steel
4-Frank points at " AFTERBURNERS" and " FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM" right at the beginning of the bols demo video and says " these cards have the same names but very different effects".
All of this remains locked in my own internal file labeled 'Contents of this folder do not effect my sense of self worth and are not to be considered as having any meaningful impact on blood alcohol levels.'

I think so.
I know everyone hates Leia crew in Coruscant, but in that specific format (Leia is free), I think there's a actually a really decent list. 4 Blue Squadron Escorts and Zeb in the attack shuttle is 200 points. Throw a free Leia crew on Zeb, and you have 5 3 attack dice ships that can pull a white K every 3 turns. That seems good.

I agree. At zero cost, I'd be willing to add her to a list. I'm trying to think of my point threshold for her current ability, it's not high, but in my four and five ship builds I'd easily add her for one or two points.
Also, new app based squad builder for 2.0 on iOS. Launch Bay Next. Little more convenient on the phone that YASB, until the official app hits.

YASB works great on my iPhone, and also on my work Samsung S8. Amusingly it works terribly on my PC, though.

I've looked at Wedge pretty hard for my Rebel squads. I think the thing is to keep expectations in line with points costs. Wedge and Fel share the same 52 points, with Fel getting all that maneuverability, but Wedge having an easier to trigger ability. I think both can have a role with essentially zero bid as a counter to high maneuverability I5 ships (Inquisitor, SuperLuke, AdvSensors Defenders, Guri, etc.).
Fel loses a lot more vs 9s with a bigger bid than him, though, while Wedge is still reasonably effective for his points moving first.
Long story short, he's 11 points more than a base X-wing, that's not much to get I6 and a sweet ability.
I'm told that the winner of UK nats failed to make it past the swiss on friday, and was allowed to buy another ticket and try again saturday
Anyone know if this is true?

Not sure if it's true for him specifically, but yes - people that failed to qualify Friday could reenter swiss Saturday.
Seems legit

That seems... not cool?
That seems like a great way to maximize profits. Unless they were dumb enough not to charge again.
It makes counting number of attending players a bit vague though, which might also be great for PR!
It’s true. The biggest issue seemingly being that the option to do so wasn’t promoted until mid-Friday to players in the first flight.
Bit of a sucky last minute call, for which the TO has publicly held his hands up, apologised and said won’t happen again.
It’s also true that the winner went crashing out on Friday, changed to OP3 on Saturday and won the thing.

That would require us to care more about 1.0.

It also might be indicative of the level of caring for 1.0 in the UK

Also, here's the chasis points spreadsheet:

Still surprises me how mostly reasonable the increase in prices are all the way down the sheet, other than a few.
