Solution to conversion kit limits.

By TylerTT, in X-Wing

I’m going to sell everything that won’t fit a single conversion kit.

erm... you are technically correct.

However, Because I love the B-wing, I still want to run 4 B-wings.

So I'm going to need to hunt Ebay or fork over some money for two conversion kits.

Maybe wait until you know there won’t really be a need for those extra ships. Something we don’t know yet might warrant splitting a kit with someone or whatever. We still know basically next to nothing.

Guess what will happen really soon.

There will be a new b-wing booster with a different paint job and I’m guessing

foldable wings and rotating cockpit!

Also remember that we are going to get 2.0 blisters for all existing ships, likely with new upgrades and pilots, so you will possibly want to buy at least one of those too.

Actually I’m pretty sure they have said that the re released ship packs will not include content outside of the conversion kit.

Infact I think they intend to never produce new pilots for old ships.

Pilot bloat was one of the things that really made owning x-wing terrible. So many base tokens, so many useless generic pilots.

i expect to see an overall smaller roster for some ships like the tie fighter and x-wing and a larger roster for things like y-wing and E-wing

if you're playing outside a sanctioned event, coordinate with your local group to allow base proxying

pick a pilot of the same initiative as the pilot you want to fly and slap your B-wing on an x-wing base

note the new bases don't actually display the info of the ship beyond the pilot name, initiative and a ship icon ( no statline or action bar) . They ALL seem to have the same quadrant distribution and bullseye arc printed

use a dial app to cover lack of dial, as I'm sure we'll have updated ones right quick

afterwards , you can see if it's worth buying more bases for the ships you want to spam

there may be some potential problems regarding the new mobile arcs, if the indicators are different sizes per base. otherwise, seems like things'd work out



for me, though, the solution is just to build within the confines of the conversion box + core set. then I can see if I want to invest more $

If there's no affordable way of getting the upgrades I need for 2.0, I'll just photocopy my single conversion kit and print them out on colour, then glue them to some thick carstock and cut them out. Or just use third party baseplates.

Yeah, no.

I already see the moving S-foils and I am personally not impressed. There’s no way I’m buying a foldable moving B-wing. That’s a disaster waiting to happen.

I’m going to laser up some dry erase base tokens cuz I’m lazy boy!

No, they said that the re-released ship packs from WAVE 1 will not include content outside of the conversion kit.

Doesn't matter. There'll be a glut of large or weird ships and a shortage of the small generic ships.
