Now that we have some spoiled cards, what are everyone's plans for 2.0? What will be your:

Staple ship: Build lists around it every time, love the ship to death.

Not sure: Like it, but you want to know more before you fly it.

Wild card: Could be awesome, could not be. Not often talked about.

Credit to @Ronu for the idea.

Mine would be:

Staple: VCX-100. Hera with Informant and some other shenanigans looks like it will be a blast, and maybe less OP than before.

Not sure: A-Wing. Could be good as a cheap missile carrier or pocket ace. Could be really useful.

Wild card: HWK-290. It will live and die by its crew options.

Staple: HWK-290 - I love that ship and with primary turret and possibility for 3 Primary, it's awesome! Still waiting to see Kyle but in worst case scenarion I am quite happy even with Rebel Scout.

Not sure: X-Wing - from what I saw already I am not that happy. Dual modification card is a crap for me.

Wild Card: Z-95 Headhunter - I am really looking forward to see the pilots and their abilities.

Staple: X-wings (all of them)

Not sure: Falcon

Wild card: U-wing. I want it to be good but......

Staple: Y-wing. It's always been my favorite workhorse, I imagine I'll still be putting it into lists. X-wings and E-wings seem like they'll show up for me a lot as well. Falcon will be solid.

Not sure: A-wings and B-wings. The former still doesn't have great offense but the ship ability could make it quite useful. The B-wing has always been a ship I enjoy flying but I'm not certain it will be good enough to see use a lot.

Wild Card: I actually loved flying a TLT Sabine in the attack shuttle and Ezra could be silly as well. Not sure why I got so attached to this ship but it always seemed very fun to me. Both turret and crew will be considerable in how good this is. Likewise for crew on the HWK-290 which already seems much more interesting than in 1.0.

Staple: 3-dice generics. I really hope E’s are viable.

Staple: YT-2400. Hopefully Eaden Vrill will be good. But I still like Dash.

Not Sure: Generic E-Wings.

Wild Card: A-Wings

I'm really hoping A-wings have some good stuff this time around, and would like to mess with Y-wings more without just being a TLT platform.

I'm wondering what we'll see for B-Wings, they don't have a unique ship ability and we haven't really seen much for them. There's got to be something else to set them apart from X-wings now that they are only +2 HP. 1.0 kind of went back and forth between the two for a while before they were both mostly outclassed, but they could really use a more distinct identity. I assume they'll probably have cannon/system again and maybe crew, but is that enough? I thought we might see a B-wing rerelease from Rebels where they had the prototype with the big focused cannon but that never happened (or really went anywhere in the show either)

I had a chance to watch a 2.0 core set being demoed this weekend. Luke, with his ability and a force power, is going to be a beast.

staple: Same as it was for 1.0. Jan Ors. I'm very excited to keep her as my lynch pin in my plans of destruction in 2.0. (Runner up: A-Wings and Wedge)

not sure: Tie Phantoms. I love the Phantom. They are a ton of fun to fly and really put that punish or be punished fear into you. I'm worried they got tweaked a little too much for 2.0.

Wild Card: E-Wings. I loved Corran Horn in 2.0, and I really wanted E-Wings to be better. @Andr_oss looks at my list one day and asks "why do you have 3 E-Wings.... wait better question, why do you have 3 painted e-wings?". Well... we will find out.

Staple: YT-2400. I've always loved that ship ever since SotE.

Not sure: E-Wing. Used to love flying Corran, so I'm excited to see how much they cost now.

Wild Card: A-Wing. I'm curious to see how 2-dice attack values fare in this new version.

staple: X wings, I love them. Wedge us going to be THE rebel ace.

Not sure: A, B and Y. They main drawbacks are still there (low offence, 1 agi). Time will tell how effective they would be.

Wild Card: E wings. It switched from of the mos defensive rebel ships (3 agi, focus, evade, regen), to the most offensive with TL-Focus first round attack (probably a torpedo). This depends a lot on the point cost to be viable.

Staple: XABY and the Falcon. I love those iconic OT ships and will play them exhaustively and in whatever combinations I can think of. I really hope A-wings are stronger, they're the one ship I haven't really felt like I could fly in 1e. Han, Luke, and Wedge will be my standard go-to pilots at the beginning of 2e.

Not Sure: YT-2400. I played Shadows of the Empire, so I might pick up one of these if I ever start to get bored flying real Star Wars ships.

Wild Card: E-wing. Never cared for this ship, but it does look like flying one will provide a unique experience in 2e.

Generic E-Wings could also be strong. Maybe 3 E-Wings will be comparable to 1.0 Triple Defenders or 1.0 3-ship alpha lists.

I've played the BOLS matchup - Luke, wedge and Dutch v the Vader crackswarm - four times - twice with each side. It's fun and reasonably well balanced, though I think the skill floor on the imperial side is a bit higher.

Luke's defenses are really good - he essentially always has 2 force if he's being shot at. Vader much the same. Luke is effectively immune to 2 dice attacks. Even catching him in arc with several ties in a turn (with focus) wasn't pushing damage through. He had to blank out on a 4 dice Vader to die.

@Npmartian Hmm, not much of a Rebel player.

Staple: X-wings, they are what I pretty much know of Rebel Ships.

Not Sure: ARC-170s. It’s in that odd not as agile as an X-wing. About a durable as a Y-Wing. How are they going to give it a role that other items won’t just be better at? Also is it going to get a Generic or did they keep it just Aces like previously.

Wild Card: K-wings. They really weren’t a thing outside of Miranda. At least in my meta. Miranda took one on the chin with adjustments to the wording on her ability so she’s not quite the powerhouse she was. Will be interesting to see how people try to rework the ship if at all. A large part of its tool box isn’t gone so much as underwent massive changes so it really will be interesting to find out how it goes over.

I think the ARCs are staying with unique pilots. In a stream where every ship had its generic shown, it did not. I assume that thematically this means that there are very few ARC-170s left in use. I'm okay with it, mostly.

Staple - X-Wings. My god, X-WINGS! Dying to get Saw's Renegades to get a decent idea of how these thins will fly in 2.0! I'll have at LEAST one in each of my lists.

Not sure - B-Wings. I THINK they'll be good, but that doesn't mean they WILL.

Wild Card - U-Wings.

I'm not committing to anything until points are revealled, but I'm hoping B Wings will be a thing again, and I'd like my X Wings to be viable at aleast..

Staple: X-Wings. Gotta stick with the classics.

Not Sure: YT-series. The mobile arc certainly makes them more appealing than in 1.0 (where they honestly looked like rather boring, to me), but I'm just not sure about them yet.

Wild Card: U-Wing. I just bought one last week and it was a blast to fly! I can't wait to see how they do with a 2.0 treatment!

Staple : A-wings, always loved these ships.

Not Sure : X-wings, they gotta lot of love, so hopefully they will be fun to fly.

Wild Card : U-wing, I hope it flies good on the medium base and we will see about crew options.

The rebels have two ships worth playing. One is stolen... Well, they all are, really. Anyway the other is old imperial craft.

Staple: HWK 290. She looks like she’s gonna be a ton of fun with the Moldy Crow Title. Looking forward to the shenanigans.

Not Sure: B-Wings. I love these guys, but i’m not sure what makes ‘em tick yet.

Wild Card: E-Wings. These bad boys have gotten an upgrade and an interesting action bar. I want them to be awesome heavy aces and see more variety of them than just Corran.

So question for the Rebel camp. With a lot of the high defense synergies missing or limited what are preliminary list looking like?

I'm gonna fly my Z-95 swarm. I'm gonna!

YOU CAN'T STOP ME!

Mine will probably be LukeThane +1, maybe an A-wing.
