I like pointing out facts with my pointlessly adept xwing memory

Wish I had the same capacity irl, maybe I could've amounted to something

besides, I'm big on 2.0 hwks

and tie phantoms which some have peculiar reservations for just because it lost its abusive mechanics

Yeah....I will probably actually buy a Tie Phantom now. Everything I hated about it is gone.

He isn't. It's the same ability.

His ability is the same, but HLC is Bullseye only.

Ah my mistake. B's still best battledroid

IG-B isn't bullseye only. HLC is. With the currently spoiled guns IMO I see no reason to run B.

Another disadvantage that hasn't been mentioned is how much more screwed droids are by Ion (you can only do Focus after the Ion move, no Calculate).

I do however hope that FFG has some specific things in store for droids based on calculate, otherwise it's just a pointless 'nerf droids' move.

Also, @thespaceinvader I think FFG has confimed on stream that you can run triple IGs

I'm sure they can still calculate on ion

Unless they just go full magnetized Bender

Yeah, seeing the new cannons is going to be interesting for sure. I'm pretty sure the devs were saying that they've been taken down a power level compared to 1st, so I wonder if they'll be priced differently to compensate. Doubly curious to see whether the IGs keep their double slots as well.

Alas, the devs mentioned in stream that you can only Focus. It's a specific thematic problem for droids to be ioned.

Only with very light loadouts, they said.

(or maybe even naked loadouts, I can't fully recall)

I doubt we'll see triple IGs, but I suspect that they will drop in price quite a bit to 67 points, leaving a touch more room for other stuff in the list, as opposed to the current 72 2e points per ship.

Could be classic FFG mistakes, but I thought during one of the videos they mentioned you could field 3 IGs. Of course that might mean no upgrades on the IGs...

Woh.

That makes a HUGE difference. I'm definitely game for triple Bros, although, only two to a kit, sooo...

Freebies will still exist, and you get to fly 3!

I loved running my BroBots, can't wait to run them with some cannon fodder! Currently I have these scum ships-

4x Z95

2x Y-wing

2x Star Viper

1x Firespray

2x Fang fighter

1x Mist Hunter

2x M3-A

3x Kihraxz

2x Aggressor

1x HWK 290

1x YV-666

Anything that I need to get before 2.0? I'm looking at a Kimogila or two, maybe another M3/HWK/Fang...

you could probably get anything after 2.0 once the stock prices go down and/or they start showing up cheap on ebay or other third party sources

only 2x M3A's

that does not sound like fun at all....

(more m3a's ..... because they are awsome)

I'm pretty excited about the HWK in 2.0.

I am intrigued by them stating that the Khirazxz has 3 modification slots. Depending on what can go into those modification slots, it could be a really interesting ship (similar feeling on the Interceptor).

I'll never not love running Y-Wings. They certainly won't be as crazy without the TLTs but the veteran turret gunner could be really fun with the Ion Turret, and maybe other turrets we've yet to see.

Firespray does look like a lot of fun as well.

If you cant run 3 Bots with decent upgrades, I hope they keep IG crew and maybe you can run 2 scaled Bots with a 3rd small crew ship with 2000 Title. Never could use him in 1.0

I'm excited for the new Kimogila. The dial got a bit better (the 2 speed hard turns are no longer red) and it got one more hull too, putting it at 9 hp total. Sadly the barrel roll is now red which is kind of a bummer but understandable why thematically.

I find the Kimogila intriguing. It doesn't seem like it will be maneuverable enough to utilize the bull's eye arc often, but it is a pretty beefy weapons platform that I think compares pretty well to the B-wing.

I wonder if Dead to Rights also means "no reinforce"

Yeah, you can't use it often but when you do it's really nice and quite punishing.

The new reinforce modifies a die result, right? So, sure! Which, if this is the case, would make sense why they changed barrel roll to red (and not simply for thematic purposes).

I don't actually know if it modifies dice (as opposed to just reducing damage) or if just having the token constitutes "using" it
