What will future waves of X-Wing Wave 2 be? Because if the conversion sets have 14 waves of cards, upgrades, and cardboard, why would any players buy future waves of the stuff?

Do you think FFG will release all new stuff for future waves of X-Wing 2.0? And encourage players to just go and buy X-Wing 1.0 for old ships? Because I don't see how you can expect future sales when you launch effectively a new game PLUS 14 waves of content on day 1. So strange.

Wave 2 will contain Resistance and First Order Conversion Kits, that we know.

Except for that, right now it looks like the 1st ed. players won't find anything interesting in the next couple of waves, until the second ed catches up. It would be a bit much to re-release 8+ ships per wave and add new content on top of that.

Yeah it's strange. I know that making it backwards compatible was practically a pre-requisite for making a 2.0 of this game.... but honestly that will almost assure all of us of like 2 years with no new expansions. Could that end up doing some real damage perhaps?

I expect once they get all the conversion kits out we'll see either alternating old and new waves or some waves with an old ship and a new ship for each faction.

I mean, if FO and Resistance are going to stand on their own, they're going to need some new ships in Wave 2.

The more tied to physical components a game is, the more painful an edition change tends to be. X-Wing has nearly drowned in them, so it probably is going to hurt. That said, its probably better to bite the bullet now than to actually drown. Plus, its a good time for the delay. While they're relaunching everything Disney will have some time to make some new ships so there's less of this sense of desperately grabbing whatever comes up. It wouldn't surprise me to see some breaks in the rereleases for some new stuff as well.

FO and Res conversion kits, plus some expacs rereleasing old stuff. I'd also be willing to bet the first new stuff will start in W2 and it'll be Solo content.

Any ship that isnt a new sculpt will likely be rather easy to produce. They could theoreticaly have all old ships re-made in a matter of months.

That, or they will have new pilots/upgrades.

wave 2:

- Solo content

- First Order conversion kit

- Resistance conversion kit

- RZ-2 A-Wing

those are my bets.
