You know, always thought medium bases were a needless idea

Speaking of medium bases.....sorry if I missed the info, but where will we be able to get them for our 1.0 ships? Conversion kit?

Conversion kit to make existing 1.0 ships medium for 2.0.

If you want medium bases in 1.0, I don't think that will happen.

Medium bases will use the large peg. Small moving to medium get a converter.

So that means I can put an A-wing on on a converter on an epic peg on a large base. Green five straights with a boost on a large base. Woo!

That's a cool ship-card shield token holder, Fickle - never seen that before!

Oh right, that's my second regret leaving xwing 1.0

Slotting the shields back into the holder while your opponent vwatches helplessly on is often more fun than the game itself

But now we got the flippy shields and less Regen. Great for the game, but not for my minor peripheral :(

Agreed! But I got way too much Etsy acrylic stuff to not keep using. If someone wants to complain my shields don't "flip" , my Aurebesh target locks aren't 2.0 standard, or my focus tokens aren't round or square or whatever they're changing to be they can **** off lol

not necessarily anymore

apparently only the falcon can boost now, and it's red

so you can't just outpace freaking interceptors just by having a fat ***

I'm talking strictly movement, not necessarily repositioning. a 1s on a medium base is still faster than a 1s on a small, and a 1s large is faster than a medium. (And the reaper is seriously fast with ailerons on a medium base. even a 1s after a 1s aileron move is the equivalent of a 3.5s on a small base ship.)
