Ok so we have 13 weeks until gencon where sets will be up for grabs. Then another 6 for full release.

we have a core and 6 expansions

we have 15 other Rebel ships, 11 Empire, 14 Scum

lets assume the core and expansions get an article each, 7 in total.

At least 3 for each conversion kit to cover 3-5 ships in each, maybe 4 articles each.

So between 16 and 19 articles and 19 weeks until they are in everybody’s hands.

We should get an article almost every week from now until September!

Woop woop, exciting times ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Week 1

Tuesday https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/5/7/be-the-spark/ prizes article for continental, shows double sided prizes.

Wednesday https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/5/9/a-few-maneuvers/ article showing barrel roll, bullseye arc, x wing and tie adv dial.

I'm hyped! It should be a fun time of discovery and anticipation.

I like your thinking

Articles for the 2.0 components in Saw and the Reaper too, I guess?

So, yes... A lot to chew through. Good.

Hopefully including an article answering one of the most important queries about X-Wing 2.0...

Do we get K-2SO as a U-Wing pilot?

I'm really looking forward to the Reaper 2nd Edition preview as the only Imperial 2.0 box you can buy relatively soon.

I don't think that the preview articles will go through the ships in detail. I expect articles focusing on certain elements of the game mechanics, action system, force users, etc.

They absolutely will go through the pilots and upgrades in the conversion kits. Just not immediately. The first articles will definitely cover the mechanics.

I wonder if we will get this. There is a part of me that actually hopes they don’t preview a ton, because, well... it would be such a gorgeous experience opening those kits with little knowledge of what made it, what didn’t, what’s new, etc... man that would be so amazing.

But I’m a shmuck and as beautiful as that sounds, I know I will eat up every preview available... sigh...

Idk about you, but If they touched Tycho's ability (Let's be honest, the direction they have taken with the game, the probably have.) I would want to know what I'm getting into before buying into it.

Without PTL, Tycho's ability isn't quite as strong. So I don't see them changing it.

We'll know once the app launches around GenCon anyway.

I'm excited about previews, would love to see my old favourites sooner rather than later. An HWK that doesn't suck and quite possibly is the ship it is supposed to represent! Bombers and Punishers that work and are different from each other! Ohmahgawdhype!

One thing I am curious about is who are all the force users and droids available. I really enjoy they took that thematic route for those pilots, but I worry there will be so few of them that either a) upgrades designed to work with them will feel like a waste, or b) they will be so inclusive to the point they are always the best options (which, honestly, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world is Vader and Luke were more popular than other options).

I’m not sure this has been appreciated enough that FFG took the time to give us the HWK, punisher, kwing, misthunter, etc the same revisit as iconic OT ships. They could have very easily said “here is your conversion for the ships that are actually Star Wars ships now” and left the rest to die, and we would have little reason to be upset about them clearing out the less iconic Star Wars bits that have made their way into the game.

But they didn’t. They deserve a huge thank you for that, and I could not be more excited to fly a punisher and mist hunter in 2.0 because of it.

Oh yeah, the Mist Hunter, I love that model so much, but it is just so unforgiveably dull in 1.0!
