I cut my Ameritrash boardgaming teeth on Arkham Horror. Harvey Walters is my spirit animal. Kallus ain't got **** on these mutton chops!

If they ever have another window when you can select your own avatars again... I'd totally put my Outworlds Alliance with the sad Geobreeders catgirl... We're entering a new period of factional sadness, I'd like a reminder that things can be worse.

why stop there. There are Anime girls merged with star wars ships to use as avatars! @Brunas

I saw those. The Executor was awesome.

So... I've put my order in for Core 2.0, I won't see it till of course September or October... Maybe later with Asmodee Canada. There are definitely things I need to relearn, and I'm looking forward to seeing the new app. I do have concerns though...

• Lists/points checking for tournaments, as noted earlier
• Turrets... yes, they got a downgrade mechanic, but they're getting upgrades too... turret gunner slots
• Munitions - really curious how this is going to go. Looks like everybody has more munitions on board? At what power level are these things going to exist?

I'm cautiously optimistic that the game is going to improve though. I'm in for a Rebel and Imperial conversion kit on top of the core... guess that means I don't need another couple of dials since I won't be flying 10 TIE Fighters... I'll have 6 version 2 dials just with the core and a conversion kit.

we still don't know what squad building will be like. I'm guessing 8 tie's could be a thing based on the vader and 4 tie squad and vader reportedly being around 85 points base... but I don't wanna delve into that ahahaha

I put my order in on announcement day with my LFGS for the core and rebel kit. Asked my wife for the other two kits for my b'day in Oct.

I'll probably need to buy some new storage stuff too.

I'm pretty pumped!

I think A will be solved by the app, and it printing with the totals and a verification barcode.

Turrets are probably going to be okay now. Double mods seem hard to come by, and costs will make most of the ships with them pay for the power.

Munitions might actually be a problem, but without chips and token stacking a solvable one. 4 dice twice is good, but not unstoppable.

Oh, and storage! I'm so pleased with the new upgrade cards. I can get regular card boxes and have easy sorting for sections! No more taping in sectional dividers for the small sized cards!

I pre-ordered from my FLGS yesterday. I haven't been this excited for X-wing since I started playing in November (in December I learned how bad the meta was and I was so disappointed; I nearly swore off the game after the Houston regional because ,while I had fun meeting people, the meta lists I flew against were no fun).

also, if anyone wants a really fun game, the profile image updater doesn't display photos properly. Just click a picture and hope.

Ok there's my new profile pic. Whatever.

I guess I'll just keep this one until FFG actually lets us get custom avatars. Or see which avatar we're getting...

Also, on topic, I already ordered a core set from FFG, and a Rebel, Scum, and 2 Imperial Conversions from my FLGS. I'm so in. 2.0 looks amazing. Hopefully it'll entice more new people to play.

I still need to contact them to see if they can get the damage deck with a pre-order.

ours is supposed to do the damage deck promo. I'll pre order my core next week sometime and ask again.

That's why I pre-ordered... Otherwise I would have gotten a core sooner at GenCon

im waiting on confirmation from my LFGS on the promo deck... may have to order direct. Ill check a few of the other shops too.

Maybe worse case scenario, if that's the case, somebody will pass off a damage deck. I need two, but don't want to pick up two cores.

I might have convinced my family to take a vacation to Indianapolis. Not sure, but I might end up getting stuff at Gencon. If I go, I'll probably just get a single Rebel kit for myself though... I don't want to screw over the FLGS.

If work goes well the next few months I'm going to try and get to gencon to get in on this early.

What dials do people want to see redone that haven't already been announced?

That's a dangerous door to open. If I could only pinpoint one though... the Hawk.

I want to see the Shadowcaster and Ghost redone to have no maneuvers faster than speed 2.

Also, I think I'm keeping this anime girl as my avatar. We at least have the same hairstyle. Man the FFG avatar options suck.

Wait, what? C'mon... three speeds at least! 2 just encourages the Ghost to stay in the middle of the map and not do anything exciting!

I actually like the Shadowcaster though. Having to go fast to hit green is an interesting mechanic in itself, on a large base it gets to be quite problematic on a tight board.

Well, yeah, going slow is actually somewhat of a buff for some of the large turrets. I just kinda want it for theme. Like, I don't like having some enormous thing move faster than a f***ing TIE Interceptor!!!
