No squadron cost on cards, somebody noticed that ???

Yes, they talked about that. There will be an official FFG squad builder (app and website), and on some kind of regular schedule they will update point costs and upgrade slots to tweak balance without having to errata cards.

The point costs (and presumably the upgrade slots too, but they didn't say) will also be available as pdfs from the website if you need to reference things without the internet.

I'm /boggling over 3 VT-49s in the upgrade box. Seems a little silly when there are only 4 TIE ln

2 in the Core Set...

I am hilariously in need of TIE dials though. Probably a good time to purge some ships.... or make some custome terrain with the help from Captain Hammer!

Good point, my own previous math would have helped. 4 in the kit, 2 in the new core, and 1-2 new expansions = 7-8 upgraded ties. Derp.

Someone already mentioned the APP. There are also going to be "quick build" cards where you decide what threat level the game will be and pick a number of "pre-built" ships until you've got ships totaling the threat level.

I found it after my post

Thanks ?

A big thank you to all who kept this topic updated, with a special shout out for @Cr0aker and his collection of data on page two.

This is looking pretty nice so far.

Still feels like another barrier to entry for players like me, who was just about to start getting into this game... Especially since I have mainly Resistance ships and only 2 Imperial Fighters....

I guess they just reprinted decimators, so expect people to buy Decimators 1.0 + conversion kit if they want to field more than one. I won't be surprised if triple decimator squad would end up being similar to the current triple wookie archetype-wise.

Yep. I have a pretty puny collection spread across multiple factions. I think the strategy is to buy one to two conversion kits and trade for the stuff you need from the others, especially with players who are buying two of a given kit to run ship-homogeneous lists.
