In the challenge-match stream where they said the HWK-290 has a “primary attack value” I nearly hit my head on my desk. That ship is my baby.

Mine was “will it have a not-**** dial?”

It should have attack 2, but who knows!

Mynock, on their podcast, said that they "unofficially heard" from an "FFG official" that it does, in fact, have two attack dice.

Didn't they say it got a 2 die pwt, or am I hallucinating again?

Single arc 2 attack PWT, they said during the non streamed Q&A part of the Hyperspace Report.

That's the 2nd biggest question! :)

Mine is:

How long will it take until you have to buy copies of the ships you've already had from v1, because they come with the upgrades that were not in the conversion kit...

Four dice primary weapon, 30pts for PS3 #hwkmeta ?

The answer is wave 2.

Although the designers said there will be a "path" to get them without buying plastic.

Is Armada a thing?

I can assure you this was a totally independently derived question of whatever you are thinking of.

Is when will the app be available?

Oh that's not the question? It should be

Is Jan flying it, and does her pilot ability remain the same.

Come on, everyone - we all know what the HWK-290 resculpt looks like:

The devs have previously said that giving the HWK-290 two red dice wouldn't have hurt, so probably. I don't remember the exact source, but I'm pretty sure that it was a YouTube video.

Yes. They confirmed this in the Q&A after the streamed Hyperspace Report.

I believe they said it would also have a single 90° mobile-firing-arc turret. That second one is subjective to my foggy memory. The 2 red dice is not. They definitively said that.

No, the biggest question is, "Why isn't Maarek Stele a force user?!"

FTFY

... is Thweek going to survive the transition with his pilot ability intact?

While the OP’s question is a good one, this is the question i’m most concerned about.

And will Scum have any Force Users?
