Yeah, plus it's a $80 ticket. There's also virtually no advertising for this, I think a Twitter mention? I wonder if the more casual folks who find out about it Thursday morning will flock to it, rather than stand in line.

Had this been available when initial tickets went on sale I’d be all over it for $80. Sadly I have to firm up a schedule, and I know I’m not alone.

Thursday morning I’m going to be in the vendors hall for opening, delivering Xwing stuff to Lucas Oil and then back to the vendor hall to cover a table for lunch.

i do hope that word of how it plays out is posted/broadcast so I can hear.

make it a Kanan/Accuracy Corrector+rey+Dash Crew Ghost instead. Engine is what makes Fennghost tick.

Round 2 and 3, I agree.

PS7 changes of heading should cover Round 1. But I may be biased because I know the local meta ain't that hard ;) And I care very much about the idea of the nightmare of a Hera-fully-loaded-GhostFenn in rounds 2 and 3. She can adjust heading at PS7 AND boost at PS11! Especially with the threat of proton bombs to keep everyone at R3 of that monster.

Alas, I don't have a bomber and likely will not even go to that tournament to inflict this new **** on people :(

I’m gone for a day and we jump 10 pages. BRB boys, I’m going content diving

So, how much would you pay for 2.0 targeting computer on Soontir? How about a generic interceptor?

Echoing what chris said, pred is probably all you need. Focus, evade, a reroll, and a reposition is godly for 2.0, not even Vader can get that

Not with that attitude.

Uhh, jumps are going to 50+ No way they price them that low.

I bet 51, just so 4 jump isn’t a thing

Is there someway to give Vader an evade? Have I missed that?

You'll see. The first meta will be the quintuple Jumpmaster meta.

I don’t think 4 jumps is too stronk, but jump spam is probably one of the most hated architypes in the broader xwing community. I expect a huge meltdown if 4 jumps fit

Too bad though. Spamming generics is my favorite thing.

I felt sad when I saw that there's no generic ARC-170 pilot in 2.0...

Debris Gambit.

I guess? With vader pilot ability it is feasible, but i'd probably rather have another ept and use a force on defense

You mean our Ben Swolo cards? Our Blackouts were pictures of TZMCKP, well, blacked out.

It's the Ben Swolo pic but with an Imperial pilot helmet. Excluding my iridescent foil Matt the Radar Technician it's my favorite card from worlds.

@Boom Owl you‘re pretty clever with that new thread! It‘s a great source of inspiration for 2.0 squads.

Hasn't it been said that force users have force powers instead of access to talents?

I recall this but can’t quickly confirm it.

did they say it during the twitch conversion show?

Oh, yeah, the Baneposting blackouts.

Only ~10 were made, what you have is unique.

One of the preview articles said something along the lines of "in addition to" "and" so they at least seem to have access to both. Whether they can take both at the same time? Or maybe just a mistake by the article writing keyboard monkeys.

Not sure that was confirmed anywhere but it would make sense. I like the idea that Wedge might depend on "Talent" to win and Luke just uses the force to get out of trouble.

Huh. 2 at the same time would be pretty awesome.

And dangerous. I'm hoping we see some "either or" options in the future. HWK for example could take a gunner OR a crew but not both.

One of the main issues in 1.0 was ships having access to multiple powerful upgrade slots that synergized to create value in a non-linear way (i.e. the basis for Combo-Wing). I'd be very concerned about Elite + Force combinations. Thankfully, the app at least gives them the tool kit to fix this.

Does anyone have the count for how many of the xwing fixes saws comes with?
