What Will be Your First 2.0 Ship?

By j_man_04, in X-Wing

TYCHO - hope he still has his action while stressed ability.

What Will be my first ship? THE IMPERIAL FACTION!!!!

Hopefully something super fun with the Reaper, some gun boats and some interceptors. Have to wait and see all the new stuff!

I miss phantoms so hard and I intend to bleed my own blood to make them work with a mini swarm somehow.

NOBODY MAKES ME BLEED MY OWN... oh wait. YOUR own blood. Yeah, that's, ok I guess. Carry on.

A Swarm squad with Tie fighter with Tie interceptor and Star Wing.

First ship..... Rebel.

I'm guessing it will be an X-Wing and two TIE Fighters. Obviously.

I'm hoping Flight Assist Astromech is still a thing though, because their ability is FUN.

I'm guessing a lot of people will have an x-wing and u-wing before an x-wing and 2 tie fighters

I'm hoping I can pick up a Reaper soon and play with that sweet, sweet medium base.

I haven't heard a release date yet. I'm hoping it comes out well ahead of the Gen Con general pre-release date.

They will, but until the rules are release they won't be able to play 'em!

We’ll probably get the conversion kits at the same time as the starter kits. So there’s no real obvious starting point if you have a collection.

All the X wings I can field!

I have already commited to only fly T-65 or T-70 until 2.0 arrives!

Isn' t 2.0 scheduled for early release at GenCon? The rules will be all over the Internet in minutes, so everyone with wave 14 ships will be able to play. Even those without wave 14 will be able to proxy.

True, though ships with updated dials might be tough to proxy. Not impossible, but difficult.

Probably the Falcon, always been my favorite. Might let Chewie or Lando pilot even though Han's pilot ability is amazing.

Also, the Arc on its new medium base. With the rework of turrets, I am really excited for any options with a front/rear arc. Hoping they will be extra arcs that can still do some damage. So, that lambda does qualify as well. I just have an existing bias to think of the arc as a bigger direct threat.

For my Imperials, definitely the Defenders. Vader also looks like a real monster. Add in the new Imperial Biggs and I am happy to put a huge point sink like that on the table, even with half points on everything.

.-->Arc<--., \U/, >x<, sounds good to me. The Incom guardians will finally fly together and not be completely outmatched.

Vader, come on he is the best pilot ever.

Echo for me. I hope she made it.

he was the best star pilot in the galaxy

Scum Boba. I did pretty well with him in 1.0 when the Firespray was underpowered. I can’t wait to try it in 2.0!

What about a pod race?

Not in that armor :(

Ever wonder why he never went back to tatooine in full, pitch black regalia?

Hot. As. Balls.

What ship included in 2.0 are you most looking forward to putting on the table? Whether from the spoilers we’ve gotten about new abilities/upgrade features, or just something you’re hoping gets better with the update?

For me, it’s the B-Wings. I’m curious to see the new dial (hopefully there is one) and new abilities. Ten Numb looks awesome already.

I would like to say Soontir Fel, but for real it would be the Two Tubes brothers, because those will be released before 2.0 core sets or conversion kits. ?

You mean the two Two Tubes

Though given that they don't add to 200, you could probably fly Luke with them

It'll be nice to fly a high initiative, and Luke's pseudo focus would be a great compliment to the two Two Tubes, too!
