Hey folks!

ive been a little awol thanks to RL but I’m back following X-Wing and there is so much white noise that I figured I’d just ask my questions.

are all upgrade cards going to be obsolete? I saw that VI is gone.

can 1.0 dials still be used even if they are worse?

do we have the 2.0 rules available yet?

1. Yes, all upgrade & pilot cards are going to be obsolete. Things are getting updated/redone via the conversion kits for each faction.

2. No, only 1.0 dials that are unchanged can still be used.

3. In full, no. We have the cobbled together pieces/changes based on revealed cards and demo games - Its very similar to 1.0 in many ways.

That’s a bummer. I bought a bunch of upgrade cards for epic.

As far as I know, there's no word on when the Epic ships will be changed, or what those changes will be.

As for the rest, there will now be 5 factions (Rebelion/Resistance, and Imperials/First Order and of course Scum) and the upgrade kits come with a ton of dials, pilot cards, inserts and upgrades (which aren't the mini size cards anymore).

So far, I'm feeling optimistic about the changes

@Rat of Vengence that might be the best GIF of all time.

Technically, yes, you can use unchanged dials for casual play (I think the only dials that are unchanged that we know about are the TIE fighter and the Lambda shuttle. There may have been one more I’m forgetting about), but 1.0 dials will not be valid for 2.0 tournament play.

Even those dials changed, technically. The greens are now blues.

There are several other unchanged dials (K-Wing, Gunboat, Fang), but none of them will be tourny legal. You'll need 2.0 dials to play an official 2.0 event.

1.0 still exists, as long as you believe in the magic of GUNBOAT.

Oh and you also believe in flying casual.

and I love the idea of a choice to fly Rudor in a TIE Fighter or a TAP. Hybrid 2.0 here we come!

So it sounds like a lot of pieces are going to be replaced. Looks like I’ll have to make a section in my board game collection for X-Wing 1.0 and 2.0

Look into the conversion kits coming out when 2.0 drops - first Rebel, Empire, and Scum, and in wave 2 of 2.0 Reaistance and First Order.

It's easier to say that 2.0 is an entirely new game where you happen to be able to bring your plastic from 1.0 (models and dice) to use them there.
Beyond that, you need to buy something to get everything else: damage deck, upgrades, pilot cards, maneuver templates, ship templates... Even tokens are changed, their shape and color now being referenced by the rules.

Apart from that, none of this invalidate your 1.0 collection. But of course the chance for your to find people that want to play 1.0 will decrease over time.

It is a different game. It's not a slight upgrade.

It's a new game you're able to use a few old components in.
