The biggest problem I've had with 2.0 is that a lot of the ships that we (the painting community) have painted will go to waste, getting put on shelves and sold for easy money to some collector. I really like the idea of separate conversion kits for each ship, or if they could re-release the same ships.

They are re-releasing ships though.
All of them? Or just the ones that people like.

All of them, they’ve already said this multiple times.

No, no, no, like THIS:
Why would your painted ships be invalidated? If they're usable in 1e, they will be usable in 2e with conversion kits.

He assumed a lot of ships wouldn't be making the leap to 2.0. He admitted he did not research fully when this was pointed out to not be the case.
And while you're waiting for the later waves to be rereleased, it's a perfect opportunity to make your own changes in casual games 
Just to spread accurate info:
People buying a conversion kit will be able to take their first edition plastic ship and base (if the sizes are the same) and just slap in a new cardboard piece and pick up the new dial.
Here is a list of the different ships that will be converted by each kit:
(The number to the left of the ship indicated how many dials you will get for each ship type)

It should be noted that many ships (specifics not yet revealed) will be re-sculpted if FFG feels it was warranted, as in the case of the X, Y, Silencer and Fang.
Which ships would you like to see with a new sculpt?
I'd like to see the Kihraxz in a different configuration, 
the G-1A (Mist Hunter), T-70 & B-wing (give them their flappy wings).

Assumptions are the cause of many a problems when used incorrectly.
Vaksai khirax sculpt is LONG overdue

...which the OP has since fessed up to. No need to continue piling on.
You know what I think we should do?
Ignore the first few replies and keep telling him he's wrong! Yeah!

What didn't they like about the silencer?
Yeah, this is probably why the painting and modification subforum people don't visit the main forums much.
For the record, there's still going to be some cool repaints basically invalidated by the new sculpts. It's hard to beat the folding S-Foils or spinning wings on the new ships. I'm looking at it as a cool challenge though - a chance to revisit and perfect my repaints with new cooler sculpts! 
Painted ships may be in even higher demand now that people are going to have Conversion Kit components lying around with no ships to stick them on.

IIRC they said they were given the wrong dimensions, so the model is larger than it was supposed to be.

Yup, too big.
For a lot of the New Trilogy/Rogue One ships, I think they got out the door before anyone was able to get any significant information on the ships before they became our play things.
Silencer: No missiles & too large, U-wing--could have used a side arc mechanic before the 2.0 fixes--Strikers supposedly could carry a crew/bomb.
Maybe the B/SF-17 & TIE s/f will get a rear gunner/crew this time around...

Well, she's Faction locked now!

Yeah in an interview they said when they made the Protectorate, they weren't told the wings moved at all. Just got sent a few pics of it looking like the model does. Most of the team found out watching the episode lol
And people wondered why we got names like "Blue Ace". Wasn't on FFG...
