Future Conversion Kits

By Kilrex, in X-Wing

I was watching the FFG Twitch stream challenge matches and heard the words "future conversion kits" in reference to the Lambda shuttle getting more pilot cards from them. How many conversion kits are there going to be? Around the 1:39 mark for those that want to hear it themselves.

The language they use throughout the stream is “an upgrade path for veteran players” that will not require the purchase of duplicate models. It’s unclear these will be “conversion kits” in the same way that the currently spoiled kits are.

I would think they would have to be by wave. And if they continue the by faction division, they’d be fairly small. And, hopefully, fairly cheap. It would be nice to know more detail.

We probably won't get any significant details until after they start spoiling Wave3 and beyond.

“An upgrade path for veteran players” sounds awfully cryptic to me.

Oh no--Maybe we'll finally have to make use of those "proof of purchase" chits...

I hope you didn't throw yours out!

Almost none of the Small ships came with them, and not all of the Large ships did. (I do have all mine. OCD.)

Nobody has likely. Only 2.0 ones count.

Well since we are losing many of the named pilots and gaining new ones, I could see the trend continuing with an old ship being released and then each new ship being essentially a mini aces version of that ship, different paint or model with new pilots/upgrades. We can pick up the awesome new pack or just buy second bundled conversion kit down the road is my guess.

So the convertion kits dont have everything that is coming out in the rerelase?

They've repeatedly said that players with 1.0 will not have to buy the the new expansions unless they want the model. They've said that for future expansions that outstrip the first big conversion kits they will release upgrade kits (something along the lines of conversion kits for a wave).
