Not financial! You'd pay $40 for a single ship so quit complaining if you have to pay $50 to convert a bunch of old ships and make them all balanced (buy it online for $40 for the sake of Pete). I get that it's a lot when you add it all up, but don't get hung up on that. Look at it like you're getting all new stuff (because you is) and look at what you already HAVE paid and how much more you WOULD pay if every OLD and DEAD SHIP got an aces pack to FIX it. THAT would be expensive and take forever and kill the game! Also, no more "autothrusters expansion pack that comes with a StarViper" garbage that we've had to endure - that is no more! Some of you knuckleheads paid $40+ for a Palpatine card (or bought the Raider and did nothing with it) because of our current situation, but now there will be no more upgrade shenanigans from FFG. So not financial!

The REALY and ONLY downside to X-Wing 2.0 will be.....

....MORE WHINING AND DEMANDS FROM WE THE PEEPS!

That's right, you think fix and nerf threads are bad NOW? We've seen NOTHING. When 2.0 comes out, and things can be fixed in the snap of a finger without having to go through developer playtesting, creating, and printing a new product - THAT situation (though the unfortunate side-effect of a glorious and wonderful situation) will create an ungodly amount of requests to tweak current stuff!

Just sayin'

Mark it down.

Well, some of us... Hopefully not me. I'll try not to be negative.

Especially the salt that some people will trough if a specific change they wanted doesn't happen immediately in the next patch.

Never mind that, we'll be getting plenty this Friday!

I just spent $358.75 on 2.0 pre-orders and that was just for my Rebel Alliance ships. Better be worth it. ( not Financial my *** )

The **** do you need 7 conversion kits for, son?

Majority of the people complaining about the price are trolls for the sake of trolling.

Unless you play epic, which is your own problem, you more than likely will NOT need more than 1 conversion kit. Spamming a single ship could easily not be a thing anymore especially with the bigger emphasis ive noticed on proper support vessels.

Buy the core, buy the reaper/saw box (whichever you play), and buy the 1 upgrade kit your faction needs. Guarantee the people that immediately buy more than 1 of the same faction and DONT primarily play epic are going to be annoyed the 2nd box was a total waste of money. And even then, who's to say the Epic conversions wont just give you abunch more, knowing full well its very common to field a TON of a given ship?

Qft. FFG learned with legion and now Armada so I doubt they want a return to wave 1’s TIE Swarm meta.

Or any spam for that matter.

From what i can tell, getting more than basic 1action + maybe 1die mods WITHOUT a support ship is incredibly difficult. Coordinate is all over the place, even if its red, and the abilities that pass off tokens actually feel important now as a result too.

Unless you are going with 2 fat ships or brobots i'd be expecting a support vessel in almost every list. Heck the Reaper and oddly enough Uwing look like great support ships so far.

Yeah, that's more than a little obsessive. I have a pretty large collection of all three factions, and spent approximately $150 on pre orders. One of each conversion kit, and a core set (essentially got the core set free with my LFGS' discount).

I own a lot of ships. Does the size of my collection make you triggered? Also, who said they were all conversion kits?

Yeah, I’m considering getting some new X-Wings and Y-Wings for their new sculpts, even though I don’t need any more of either...

Actually, you did, when you said:

Using the word "my" implies that you already own the ships that this is "for".

Yeah, that's what usually happens when I use logical arguments with people who just want to complain about unfounded concerns using hyperbole.

I really hope the Conversion Kit unboxing on Friday is Imperial so we can see the new GUNBOATs!

Whoa whoa whoa what did us epic players ever do to you? I’ve pre-ordered 1 Imperial conversion kit and only have a couple that won’t be converted. I’m more than happy with the conversion kit contents and price.
