What to play with in 2.0

By Khyros, in X-Wing

Assuming you're continuing on into 2.0, what are you excited to put on the table?

I know I plan on hitting the reset button on my collection, and even though I'm going to get the upgrade kit for all of my stuff, I'm only going to be playing with what's "currently released" in 2.0. Which means I'm going to start off in September with X Wings, Y Wings, and U Wings exclusively. And as wave 2 comes out, I'll expand to more ships.

I'm honestly just as excited about all of the new (potential) tourney formats than I am 2.0 itself. I know that since wave 8 has released, I've had a K Wing and/or Ghost in every single one of my lists. So to be able to have reasons to play other things is awesome to me. What are ya'll excited to play?

181st Squadrons with 3 TIE/IN

But I am not holding my breath to see all 181st pilots be competitive.

OT ships !!!

We have a thread already, either something about the face of your favorite list or what ship you're most excited for

Personally not excited for ANY squad until I see what squads are even possible

Individual ships are another matter, assuming some very weird **** doesn't go down during development

I'm considering doing something like this myself. in the mean time, I'm trying to put lots of ships in that depend on good flying to try and get back to basics. unfortunately, I got crushed last night at league by a bombing scum nym/tlt kavil and a maul/ezra ghost list. oh well.

really excited about the new Organized Play support they've hinted about. need to look up more about that. I've only heard bits and pieces. but it sounds great!

Everything old is new again. We're going to be seeing X-Wings for days.

And of course I'm looking forward to seeing what the 2nd Edition GUNBOATS (A-A-A-AIRHORN) look like.

There are definitely some old favorites like B-Wings and A-Wings that I haven’t used much recently that I look forward to playing again. There are also ships like the HWK that I’m hoping for a significant overhaul on and get to play around with them.

A-wings

E-wings

A-wings

X-Wings

A-Wings

HWKS

Let's be serious, the only ship anyone will be flying is the Assault Gunboat

praise be

TIE Fighters, TIE Interceptors, TIE Defenders, and though I probably won't play them, I'm really curious to see what the B-wing ends up being.

Under his eye.

As for me, I’m super stoked to fly Jesus Luke in his Red 5 T-65.

You’ll never fit all the apostles in there. Maybe as z’s. ?

Probably a lot of stuff that I didn't fly in 1.0 but also stuff that I used to fly in 1.0 but stopped flying because it just wasn't very good anymore (x-wings, TIEs, etc)

I was REALLY enjoying the Silencer, as it felt like it could do anything, felt super rewarding, but wasn't unkillable like the Focus + Evade stacking aces.

Hopefully it is relatively similar in 2.0.

I’m switching to Scum. I was all Rebel in 1.0.

Those previously but no longer Focus+Evade stacking aces might also fit into that same feeling now as well. Soontir can't tank an entire squadron anymore. Vader is closer but doesn't get Evade (unless an upgrade can give it).
