It'll probably hit three pages then sputter to an inglorious death.

Force powers. Implement things we like about the game. Change how actions work. Better faction identities from the ground up. New addition will take advantage of App.

Gameplay elements: Make turrets like Lancer. Primary are now double turrets, 180 degrees. Bullseye arc on EVERY SHIP. Issues with barrelroll and boost fixed.

Refined action economy. PTL is GONE, now core mechanic of many ships. Y-wing might get red barrel roll. Ships now have access to red actions.

Medium bases started with the firespray. Hard to implement mid stream so now in 2.0. (Took apart existing game and fixed it).

Lucas film asked about 2.0. Spoke about bringing back to core Star Wars experience

Going to support the 1.0 edition through to launch of 2.0. FINAL WORLD CHAMP FOR 1.0. 1.0 and 2.0 Kits in June. System open continues into July.

Cool 2.0 events at GenCon. New program for what resonates with players: New Content (exp); Competitive Play; Game mode variety; Good opportunity for new players joining game.

Will support game stores in current and new offerings. Emphasis new products and variety.

Opportunities in the next year to help transition from 1.0 to 2.0. Events and mechanics on website leading to launch.

Faction Identity:
Rebels – Biggs like helping out other ships in faction.
Empire – Regimented Nature: Swarm playstyle – Group buffs if you fly together, not solo.
Scum – Screwing over others.

Force:
Not going to be a gimmick to take away from the game.
Have force charges and FS pilot has a 1-3 charge load. Ezra=1 Vader =3. Let you change one result?
Force power upgrades. FCharge lets you use ability.
Crew can also provide force help to ship they are on or others?
(Emperor Palp is still scary)

App:
Is a Hub – Huge asset to org play. Allows approaches to balance (duh). Point cost and upgrade slots are now mutable during/after a competitive season.

Lots on pro’s of having an app as a one stop shop for what works, how and why.

2.0
Focused on what resonated with players. New products and Variety.
Deluxe wave kits – includes stuff for new players, for thematic players, and champ event for competitive play.
Seasonal kits expand play. 3 Months of play or 3 monthly plays. Lots of opportunities for new content.

System Open events continue and new locations coming in and out of US.
Regional will become ‘hyperspace trials’. No longer few key locations. Each territory will allow any store that meets requirements to run this kit. 2 periods per year. If qualify, can run 1 per year per store.

Hyperspace cups. Can send to world champs.

Worlds move to October and is X-WING ONLY.

Resistance and First Order their own fully playable factions. More ships will be added as we learn more. Movies, books and comics will feed. Ability with squad builder to dynamically change things in the game. Add events, point cost, balance.

Devs Best Part:
Movable S-foils – Unkar subtitle is ????
Ability to fix things into the game.
Put 5 years of development into the game from the ground up.
The app increases opportunities.

I haven’t typed this much this fast in a LONG TIME.

Live Stream ?
2.0 good entry point? Yes. Set a guide to how to write cards. Language clarification. Org play is a great time to start.

Is all relevant new content in the kits? Still need a new core set to play 2.0. New templates have a line down the middle. World champs templates have new lines. (to help with bumps). And are 2.0 compatible.

Quick build cards: Let quick squad building without app. Have threat levels to help squad build. Not perfect.

200 POINT SYSTEM NOW

App free on website and for download to mobile device.

Favorite? T-65 really fun to fly. Moving s-foils are great.
A-wing and Interceptor now have built in PTL. Autothrusters are not the same. “After action perform red boost/action”

Battle of Yavin feature?/Mode? Now.

Upgrade costs adjusted to balance behind the scenes? YES. Big problem in 1.0.

And that is the end of the stream. Need to rest hands for a bit.

The force is now a statline - makes Luke and Vader do force stuff

All point costs are fluid and app-based!

No more nerfs, just points changes!

This is the one I'm really excited about

MAN, I WISH I COULD STREAM THIS!!!!

New core set with new models too

Tons of new expansions with better sculpts. New Y-Wing, new Fang Fighter with pivoting wings!

God damnit, new Fang with moveable wings.

The new card style is way prettier

I am torn as Yay for 2.0!!!

but

as I said a couple weeks ago...

If they finally manage to fix T-65's with the Saw xpac just in time to announce development of X-Wing 2.0 and the effective death of 1.0, then no, it does not count as them extracting  their heads.   

This wave will contain components for both editions.

Explains the pricing point.

The upgrade kits are $50.00 -- but they sound really, really extensive.

Slave I medium base.
