Tomorrow

By WookieHairdresser, in X-Wing

Defenders and Punishers are the main ones for me. In general I think it's going to be interesting to see which pilots and abilities make it into 2nd edition and which ones get dumped or reworked. The same is true for the upgrades. I'm really looking forward to seeing what's become of all the early Imperial crew that are pretty lacklustre - Mara Jade, Jerjerrod, Isarde.

Defender - Will the title be baked into different pilots? What do the chained actions looked like?

Firespray - Love it now, just want to know how much I'll still love it.

HWK - Please make it more useful. All I ask for is a moderately better dial and 2 reds.

Starviper - I'd like higher pilot skills. Have had great fun with the curved barrel roll so that would be nice to keep. Built in system slot?

Y-Wing - I'll be taking the move to 2e as a chance to finally embrace Rebels, and the Y is my ship of choice. So the more we can find out the better!

Jumpmaster dial, just to see the last vestige of it's glory being stripped away.

I hope I will be able to play three Jumpmasters again... but wholesome. And dual Aggressors, and Double Firesprays and 4 Scurrgs and and and...

Personally, I would like to see the pilot cards for:

Carnor Jax and Kir Kanos, did they make it, if so, do they have force abilities?
Corran Horn
New Lambda pilot
TIE Defenders (I suspect their titles will now be "config" cards)
Gunboat (again, titles will be config cards)
Ghost
Sheathipede
TIE Aggressor
YV-666

Upgrades:
Autoblaster Cannon/Turret - Still a thing?
Leia Crew - Have they made her more useful outside of Epic?
C3-PO - Ability changed or is it now based on charges and therefore limited?
Obi-wan Crew card teaser? We have Force abilities now . . why not have him spend a force charge to "Boshek" someone's dial?

And those new pilots/upgrades will also be sold without minis as well for those that already have the minis.

Where did this piece of info come from?

World steams and a few interviews. They haven't finalised details, but they went to great pains to emphasise that you won't have to rebuy existing ships if you don't want to.

Yes, they confirmed on stream that Starviper still have the barrel roll.

Great! Love the Viper. I can't wait to see what additions (or subtractions) they put on it.

Because they tur'rists.

Okay. that was good!

My beautiful beautiful Ghost, what did they do to her? Decrease the red dice? Take away it's Turrets? Change its rear arc? Pilots? Reinforce? There are so many possibilities but that's my main concern.

Also the Punisher/Bomber will be cool to see

I want to see the Jumpmaster dial. Not because I want to play my Jumpmaster, mind you (I still have a little JM5KPTSD). I feel like seeing what they did with that dial will tell me a lot about the direction of 2.0.

I'd be happy to finally have a balanced ship, but I'm secretly also ok if it's "Zoolander not-an-ambi-turner" crippled.

Everything else can be balanced, but the JM5K can go die in a fire.

... Ok, that was cathartic. I already feel better. The JM5K can be barely ok, I guess.

This thread title now needs errata.

Wouldn't it be a buff though? Dang it, Calender creep is a real thing man, we gotta keep our threads up to date if they're going to see table time!

Yeah... when was any day from 2015 relevant? Years ago! YEARS I TELL YOU!

It made my eye twitch when I saw it as well. But I'm trying to move along :)

I'm curious about things like Navigator, Weapons Engineer, Intelligence Agent, Mercenary Copilot, and Rebel Captive.

Theres no way they are going over every card in all three conversions is there?

Hum, it's meant to last an hour. If you say 15 minutes a kit plus padding time then they should be able to go through a number of cards.

I wouldn't have thought so. There's roughly 400 or so, isn't there? I hope they at least show off one pilot for each ship. One interesting thing about 2nd edition is that they can show a lot more to us initially because we don't have the points costs or the slots available for each ship/upgrade so even knowing what most of the cards are we lack the vital information we need to start playing the game already.

I don't understand why they don't give us more information. It would allow them access to a large number of excited playtesters that will locate broken combos before the release occurs. This would allow the point costs to be ever closer to balanced on release day. Imagine how quickly people would start playing with the new rules if the released the App today...

I just hope we see a vast improvement to all the movie ships, and the HWK. I also hope that scum finally get some more viable small ships.

I hope they start with Scum...but it will probably be last.

I'm excited to NOT see some things. I hope there is no Jabba or Asajj.

If there is no Jabba, it will give me hope that FFG may have the Star Jewel making it's way to the play mat. With the absence of Asajj, that would make me believe that Clone Wars ships are coming.

I want to see more:

Talents, Cannons, Torpedoes, Missiles, and Turrets.

I also want to see more Scyk, Tie Punisher, and HWK-290.
