I assume Advanced Sensor Stridan + Quiz? Coordinate Quiz after burgling their agency via Intel and turn him into the most frustrating blocker in the game?

Intel, Systems officer - pass out locks to the quiz to evade to push to block at ps2/4, or 8, or be unblockable, or just in general be an ace with intel agent... Bonus points to coordinate the other ace and do it all again.

Other ace was Jax, but I'm not convinced that was correct, it was just good at the time because Fenn Rau is really scared of Jax with intel agent on the board :)

I don't think I've heard about it yet, but @catachanninja are you framing the EGO list?

@Brunas @Tlfj200 @catachanninja yall going to GenCon? Had a lot of fun hanging out at Worlds. I may be going to GenCon for IA since it's a Sat/Sun game and I don't have to take any time off for it.

I'll be there, flying an X-Wing swarm, a few tables further down. ;)

There are no tables further than my IA tables baby.

X-Wing though, I need to see if I can replicate Ira's X-0 drop, where X is the number of wins for whatever second edition stuff they have as prizes.

I still can't believe he 3-0 dropped. What a god.

Challenge accepted.

I had assumed this was a worlds thing...

It's too early for me to decide what level of effort I'm throwing in for GenCon yet. I'm unlikely to drop, but considering they take like half the field into Saturday I may drop early then to go play something else.

My effort level will be entirely based upon what 2.0 prizes are declared. :)

I keep whispering "spot gloss lowrick" into Wade's ear because I'm a bad person. I plan to do it eventually, but with the new job life has been heavily in the way.

Not that anyone has likely paired this account with a face, it was a pleasure seeing some of you at World's this year. My goal was to make Day 2 which I achieved and I nearly went the extra distance. But if your dreams are going to get crushed, might as well be by the World Champ. I know that there is a lot of random discussion, but thanks for all of the help in getting into a tournament mindset and overall upping my game. I made only two major mistakes the entire tournament. I am likely putting away Miranda for a while until at least NOVA, if not forever.

I'm only a few steps into forever, it feelsgoodman

I actually hope that the K-wing is balanced and isn't just unfun to play against because it is unironically one of my favorite ships.

Let's be honest, Miranda is the only K-wing that we really feared. With what we know about rules already, she's taken a major hit.

1) Half points on all ships. Get her below half and she's bled MOV.

2) TLT is gone. Unless there is some function (veteran turret gunner? assuming a crew slot) that lets you double tap she's paying a lot more for her pilot ability.

3) I have to assume that if Sabine crew exists in any form in 2.0, she has a set number of uses and is tracked with energy tokens.

3) Bombs are greatly reduced in effect. They aren't as powerful as they were before. Action bombs are also gone. So no more slam + EI + drop a clustermine in someones face.

4) Harpoons are gone.

5) Turret rule changes make her more complicated to fly. You'll have to rotate the turret as an action if you are out of arc.

6) No clue on what her pilot skill we be, worded as, and if it will be limited to set number of uses.

To be honest, I imagine Miranda is getting nerfed anyways based on the Artoo nerf. If I do play her in 2.0, it will be more in a support ship role and not as part of a 100 point Ace

Do we think any 2.0 ship will be able to equip all of the below secondary weapon types at once?

  • Turret
  • Bomb
  • Missile or Torpedo

I actually expect the K-wing to be able to. However, I also eexpect it to have strict limits on how it can fire them.

I have no idea how the k wing gets balanced in 2.0 its main draw on the table besides its beautiful wingspan was that it declined to play x wing when some ships played x wing so much better and more efficiently that other ships couldn't keep up. I suspect itll be a dead ship but its probabaly for the better. The new y wings look great anyway

X-Wing 3.0 Y-Wing Model Prototype. I would 100% buy "Premium" models from FFG if they decided to make a few of them.

I suspect they can find a gimmick for it. Something that might be fun is making it unique, and then giving the pilots some sort of ordanance dump. Alternatively, let it equip a greater variety of munitions at the cost of charges on munitions.

With SLAM it kinda feels like the K-Wing may be turned into a Rebel (New Republic) version of the Gunboat... Munitions variants only.

Does anybody else feel these old legends New Republic ships are now in an awkward spot in the factions?
