Thoughts from me:

Target Lock is now just a Lock action and you don't need two tokens because one is on your ID? So all ships have ID? What does this mean for aftermarket sweet target locks? I wonder if they would still be legal as I just picked up a sweet Etsy mini Ghost model one.

Double-sided BB8 templates seem to imply current templates may not be kosher for 2.0 without the lines?

On Vader's card advanced targeting computer got changed, now it adds a dice if you have a "Lock" and you can then convert one hit to a Crit. So definitely toned down from + 1 auto Crit.

X-1s do not have native boost or evade!

Anyways let me know what you think.

Ships have always supposed to have been assigned an ID - it’s the number tag that lets you keep track of TIE Fighter 1 vs TIE Fighter 2, 3, etc. Now the “lock” token has one less piece in using the ID number instead of a pair of letters. Makes sense to me.

After market tokens? Not really for 2.0, but I bet no one will care in casual play if you use them.

No line templates — from watching that designers play a few games, they seem “mostly” for convenience when bumping, although barrel rolling will need a marked one speed.

Vader and X-1 - you are correct.

I like the changes overall.

The designers also hinted at the one bank needing a center line. (Starviper May retain its curvy barrel roll). The two straight should also need one for the decloak action, and possible two curve if echo is still around in her current form.

Presumably the hard turn maneuvers will need them as well for Tallon rolls.

At which point you might as well have lines on all your templates so that they match.

Aside from this... when do we finally get to know the STORECHAMPIONSHIP PRIZES? ?

This month the first one is held in germany and more and more dates comming up. So would be nice to know...
