New Information from Live Stream Today

By Animewarsdude, in X-Wing

I'm fine with re-sculpted TIE silencer

because you still fit the small base regardless, and now you'll get to be bigger than your peers

many men would pay handsomely for such a privilege ?

NEED A NEW CORE SET. Pilots in the core set don't come in the conversation set, the new damage deck is needed, and the X-Wing in the Core Set is the one seen in the preview, a Red Five - Luke's X-wing.

Ironically appropriate misspelling :D

All this info is great. Good job!

hmm i might actually use Duchess alot in the future...
His ability got buffed. Not only can he ignore his ailerons, he can also use them despite being stressed.

Far far more often with strikers i get hosed because i was stressed than i do because i must move before i use my dial. Which also (assuming its still a thing) opens adaptive ailerons + MK2 destress :) (probably not a thing still though)

Whenever someone refers Duchess as "he," all I can think about is Archer.

im actually 99.9% positive it was an archer reference to begin with since even the developers said "he" when talking about the striker pre-launch

We really need one bug thread with all details we know of for 2.0. I love this list of details, but know there are details from day 1 and other formats that aren't in here. If I had access via pc all day then I'd do it. Only phone via work hours means I shouldn't start it.

My feeling as well UNLESS they are bringing out the Rogue Shadow.

Not happy they are resculpting the TIE Silencer, I just bought mine.

Well, just use the big one for Kylo, I feel that is something he'd do in character to make himself feel better about himself.

Oops, was typing quickly as the news came out, haha.

@heychadwick I think that's what the OP is doing. He keeps updating the initial post every so often.

Oh, yes! Oh, but he's not putting new at the bottom or marking what is new. Dang.

Yea sorry, was just trying to get the information out yesterday for those who couldn't watch the live stream. I mean if someone wants to do a full concise thread of everything we know for 2.0 feel free to go ahead.

Resistance and First Order Conversion sets will cost less and have more conversions for the ships that are in the faction.

What does this mean? I've read it a few times and don't understand it XD

Also, where did the expected points cost for Vader come from? 84 seems high (that's 42 if you convert it directly to the current points system!). Unless it's 84 with upgrades that's pretty nuts.

1. Since the First Order and Resistance have fewer ships, their conversion packs will be cheaper. Additionally, instead of getting say, 3 TIE/FOs, you'll get 4-5 per conversion pack. They've not been announced, so we don't have exact numbers.

2. I believe it came from a 2.0 gameplay video, though I've not seen it myself. Vader will be very pricey in 2.0, because he has a lot going for him.

Cheers :)

well, I guess they're basically the same thing

but even then, still not seeing you fill a $50 box with only 4 ship types

I think it’s entirely possible that both resistance and first order dip into the OG factions a bit more.

i could see resistance e-wings, a-wings,

first order defenders, punishers.

The resistance has an e-wing.. it is called the T-70. :P

I really don't expect to see these ships, apart from the new a-wing, in either the First Order or Resistance. There are and will be countless ships for the new era that are new designs.

Yup. We're getting an entire TV Series based in that timeline. It make take a little while, but we'll be getting a bunch of new ships from that era.
