My favoite goto list WAS Quickdraw, Inquisitor, and Backdraft. But now that First Order is a seperate faction now☹️☹️

Soontir Fel - Stealth Device, Push the Limit, Auto Thrusters, Red Guard Tie

Carnor Jax

Kir Kanos

I <3 my Interceptors very much lol

You know it's funny, I was thinking of selling my FO after the faction split

Then I realized I had 5 FO, 2 SF, 1 Silencer, and 1 ups

I got the whole faction ready already

Poe/Dash.

Its a gonna. ?

Intrigued to see if 3x IG2000s are possible though & if they’re medium base ships.

Imperial: Double Edge, Inquisitor, Duchess. Very fun to fly, and leaves you with plenty of options for how to play. Not competitive, but great for casual games. Still possibly playable. Status TBD
Scum: Fenn, Talonbane, Thweek/Nym/N'Dru (This was never really competitive, but again, fun to fly)
Rebels: Jake, Keyan, Corran (exists, but playability TBD)
Resistance: Poe, Blue Ace, Jess. (The Resistance is dead for the moment, so this one is absolutely gone.)
First Order: Backdraft, Zeta Ace, Omega Ace, Epsilon Ace (Dead, for now.)

Dash might find a different X-Wing as a solid wingman, so it's not completely lost, at least.

Luke 2.0 is literally better Poe

Minus thrusters which no longer exist

I very much enjoy squad building just for its own sake, just playing around with cards and ideas. I've made more squads on Squadbuilder than I'll ever fly. Currently it has 42, and I know I've deleted 3x that many that I know I'll never get around to trying.

So I'm not married to any 1.0 list. I have a 2 Defender/Inquisitor list that I fly a lot, and I'm sure it won't be identical, but I'll do something similar in the new edition. I very much look forward to playing with a whole new set of tools. Should be fun!

Vi-BB-8-optics Poe, FAA baby blue, and bomblet crimson specialist...don’t know the fate of bomblet yet, VI is dead, but Poe will either be initiative 5 or 6 so not huge lose, if bomblet stays my bomber will probably have to pay a ton for it, but we’ll see come the resistance conversion kit

I’m ok with it. Pretty sure ptl dash is no longer viable and the turret changes will have a significant impact.

I think 2.0 is where I transition to Scum. Fingers crossed starvipers are ok. Or IG88.

Ptl itself no longer exists ?

Yeah, anything that was dependent on PTL is going to be heavily changed.

That said, I am curious to see how they do the Outrider. I imagine a mobile arc that you can shoot a cannon out of, similar to a Firespray title we saw.

Seeing as how I tried to throw X-Wings in a good chunk of my lists, I have a feeling said lists will be exponentially better

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.

I haven't seen people mention this much - do we know whether there's an equivalent effect built into 2.0? I'm not mentally prepared to go back to 2 defense dice on strikers (and SFs in wave 2).

LWF was basically a fix was it not? So far those seem built in but I can't imagine how they would implement that across so many ships. I suppose with numerous high damage output effects reigned in, 2 greens may not be so suicidal. I certainly hope so as LWF is possibly my most used card.

I expect they'll be variations of the add an evade pilot skill on the Reaper, but secondary like the new ATC.

Maybe they will build it into the SF, instead of the double shot, they can reroll one green die for the ships ability/title that gets included like they did for ATC on Tie Advances. EDIT: However, I think LWF was a card built for the power creep age and probably aint needed in 2.0

You sir, cannot be done justice to with a mere 1 like.

Upgrades, like said, impossible to tell. Faction splits do put nails into a few coffins for me though.

Imperial Boba. I use him a lot. As bizarre as running him with Kylo crew and a Phantom is... The new Boba should be far superior though so that'll be nice. I guess I need more scum.

Speaking of which. Triple PTL Starvipers. I'm hoping they retain some of their magic.

Backdraft, OL and... Ryad

Not being able to run TIE/SFs with Galactic Empire in general will stifle some of my go-to's. As much as it always gave me an uncomfortable wrinkle in the back of my mind, thematically.

In fact, most of my no longer possibles are down to the Imperial split. I only really have the TIE Bomber and TIE/FOs as cheap ~25pt filler ships. I am actually sort of pleased with the faction change though, I never really play anything without some head canon.

Rebel/Resistance wise, we only have the YT1300/2400 and 2 T70s. So that may cause some headaches for Dash.

Still, at home, I have to fight powerful inner demons when my boys want to run T70s with a 'stolen' TIE Bomber/Punisher already. So on that front, not much will change

Yeah, it's the faction split that hurts my favorite lists too - Omega Leader was a staple in many of my squads because I loved his play style and he was easy to fit in practically anywhere.

We'll have to see if there's anything like him in the new empire lineup, because my first order comprises, err, three white TIEs. Honestly not sure what I'm going to do with them, to be honest...

What I want to know, though?

With the new trilogy giving us two new sides, does new trilogy scum get the same treatment, or are they the only mixed-era faction in the new edition?

My favourite lists usually incorporate a Rebel Transport as a support ship, and usually run around the 600 points mark. So there's going to be some changes there, I'm certain.

My favourite list is

Quickdraw and Backdraft. Both with title, VI, FCS, and Lightweight Frame

The Inquisitor with title, autothrusters, PTL, Proton Rockets

So my list is boned

I never really had a main list but I always had a soft spot for Vader, Vessery, Omega Leader. It's got the right mix of maneuverability and synergy but everyone is still self-sufficient enough that you can adapt to losses easily enough. I'm partial to triple Imperial Ace builds in general though, and would really like to run interceptors again as well as maybe a TIE Defender that feels a bit less like a drag racer this time.

I've always liked the idea of running a Decimator with escorts too but the cost of the decimator really cuts into the escort options. perhaps with turrets being less dominant the cost of the decimator will be lower and leave a bit more room to customize such a list in 2.0

My favourite lists usually included some combination of X-Wings, U-Wings, Y-Wings, ARC-170s, A-Wings, or B-Wings. What can I say, I'm a traditionalist. So I'm looking forward to playing with pretty much the same ships but hopefully having them somewhat more competitive.

My all time favourite list to fly was 3 Mindlinked Mangler Cannon Scyks and Palob Godalhi.

With them reducing the action efficiency in the game, I can't see a future where I get 4 ship Mindlink back, but maybe I won't need that efficiency to compete and I can use a different EPT instead.

I really liked Dashing Poe (with Lone Wolf and Rey in the Outrider) so I'm excited to fly Luke again. I'm also hopeful for Corran. This could be FFG's chance to make E-Wings the Rebel Defender, so that would be cool.

And if they're changed, I hope Dash [pilot] and Leebo [crew] have some cool new synergy.

I'm also hoping the YTs get a native illicit slot.

Youngster Rage + 7 Academy - I think we wont have Youngster, let's see how many TIE we can squeeze in.

BBBBZ - let's see the cost of a B first

Xizor swarm - I think this will be dead

Dash will be ruined. No more PTL, nerfed turrets. Goodbye to the most fun ship to fly. In fact all large ships are basically dead meat, with no engine upgrades and nerfed turrets.

Sad.
