I mainly like the Palp Aces archetype, and it seems like the Lambda and Palp will exist, as will Soontir. I guess my 3rd will have to be Vader at the moment. Assuming that a doubling of points means the same number of ships on the board... ish. But I have no idea on any of it other than the Omicron has a rear arc apparently. So that's a neat addition!
The fate of your favorite list in 2.0.
Im flying kylo,qd,academy now. List is crap in 2.0 cuz ptl dont exist, adv sensors only allows a single action, and fcs is just predator. LWF probably wont exist, and Kylos ability is for sure completely changed.
For scum I fly fenn,thweek,manaroo. Have to wait and see. Thweek probably is gonna lose the ps matching and only have mimick. So that could kill the list. But of manaroo can still pass locks in this limited action 2.0, then her and fenn will be a force. Thweek can be subbed out for old terry again
Unless there's some drastic point costs, BBBBZ isn't going anywhere.

Palp seems to have changed into a situation where he lets every Imperial ship spend his Force tokens on defense, so Palp Aces won't quite work the same as it did before. We'll have to see how that shakes out.
If the leaked Soontir ability is real (get focus for lining up enemies in the bullseye arc), he's going to fly just as ballsily as I liked to fly him in 1.0
Edited by NyxenVader and Gunboats should be better than ever, but tbh I’m hoping I have to swap out my Gunboat ace for 2-3 TIE’s in 2.0 so I can have some variety.
Three Interceptors. I assume that will be viable in some form.
I have a feeling my 5x M3a's with manglers will not be possible anymore.... its way to good.
Rey-Poe or triple T-70. ... Gotta wait for the Resistance conversion box and hope it supports 3xT-70.
I stubbornly continued to fly 3 or 4x wing lists So I’m pretty excited. Also, I would LOVE a wings to somehow be good, but I’m skeptical. They look sexy, are fun to fly, and have interesting pilot abilities, but they can’t damage a thing. I know tell be better at first becuase the token stacking is rendered less effective, but it still seems like they’ll struggle hard to ever do damage.

I am very hopeful that the rebalancing that spurred the decision to create 2.0 will make all ships viable in some form or another.
I prefer my lists on the side of Jank. So I'm super looking forward to new levels and exciting surprise Jank.
I am running 1 Defender / 1 TLT Agressor /1 Mangler Gunboat / Countdown.
Tlt is gone but the rest should be solid.
I ran Miranda - Corran. So, not sure if Harpoons survive the transition. Corran should be ok with linked actions and FORCE?!?!?

poons are dead as ****
even proton bombs are, apparently, critical damage now (as opposed to deal 1 face-up card through shields)
Actually my favorite list is the QuickStar, QD with ASTS, Vader with Juke and a Rhoboat with either Deadeye and EM or a PTL one, depending by how many points I decide to allocate.
Goodbye Quickie, it's been a pleasure.
QD3B. won't be possible with the faction changes and the deleted harpoons. but I still love imps. gotta see all the new stuff, interactions and point costs to see what i can put together that I'll like. and I be there will be lots!
My casual lists are safe not worried about competitive lists till more information is available . I use to love runing ocuin and a mini swarm. I doubt he will change much and howlrunner is good and iden has a crazy but thankfully limited power.
Just going to have to play as much Triple Defenders as I can, since it will be a while before I will get a second upgrade pack.
Until we have much more information, there's not really any way of knowing. Sure, we know somethings won't be there, but I'll have to wait before I rejoice/cry/rage quit over any lists...

VI Asajj with Shadow Caster and Fearlessness Boba with Clusters.
At least four of the things I just mentioned are gone or different, so I'm pretty sure the list is FUBAR.
Excited to experiment with Firesprays and Lancers all over again though!
2 defenders and Omega Leader.
Dead as a doornail.
I'm going to need interceptors, phantoms and brobots to be good.
THAT is what's going to determine my buy in and nothing else.

Interceptors and Phantoms can actually take a non-VI/PtL EPT now, and I think I heard Brobots are cheap enough for three of them to fit in a list naked.
I think you're good.
5x Snapshot Black Squad and Mauler Mithel with Snapshot. It all hinges on whether or not snapshot makes it into 2nd ed... I really hope so because it is so fun to fly!
