Why would there be a "Rebel" conversion kit in Wave 2?

Because when they release the updated new packs there'll be new upgrades and, potentially, pilots in them. They've already said that there'll be ways of getting these cards without having to buy the ships again.

It's a bummer to see Gunner Luke not have any action economy tied to him. It'll have to be an expensive card.

Mission pilots from this Facebook post:

A-Wing Tycho CelChu

B-Wing Keyan Farlander

B-Wing Ibtisam

B-Wing Nera Dantels

ARC-170 Thane Kyrell

E-Wing Ethan A'baht

X-wing Jek Porkins

X-Wing Tarn Mison

X-Wing Hobbie Klivian

X-Wing Wes Janson

Also Y wing Norra Wexley.

So, less of a full reveal and more of a bulk reveal.

Was it really necessary to make Airen Cracken ability be treated as a red action? Lol

I like Jake, you can still BR, take a focus, then boost all for 1 stress. And without an EPT interaction, so could be even better

She's there. It's a group picture with Her, Evaan verlain and Thane Kyrell

Ewing Ethan is renamed Gavin Darklighter

Called Braylen Stramm, good to see him there. No Gina Moonsong though, I'm a little surprised by that.

Blade Squadron generic is cool too, makes sense for that to replace Dagger Squadron.

Gavin Darklighter!!! Holy ****, I'm so excited. I really never expected to see him show up. Mad that they didn't use him in 1e, he makes soooo much more sense than Etahn ( a general who never came close to a starfighter cockpit).

I've got to say I'm pretty broken up over Tycho, though.

In fact, it seems odd that the Y-Wing gets extra pilots and the A-Wing and B-Wing are back to only two named pilots each.

I can only assume FFG are holding some pilots back for when the 2e A-Wing and B-Wing expansions release, to bring them back up to four named each.

Coupled with there being far fewer upgrades than I was expecting, it seems to really drive the point home that the conversion kits are basically just wave 1 content plus just enough content to make every ship at least playable.

Not sure how I feel like, tbh. 'Conversion kit' seems a bit of a misnomer now. It's more like a starter kit.

Does leave me with hope that Tycho will return before too long, though. Maybe with Keyan?

At least Tarn and Wes are easy ones. They were part of an Epic Expansion and will be released together with the Epic conversion kit.

Oh man, I hope not, I already shelled out money to get Tarn by buying the transport the first time. I have never even played epic.

"Resistance" am not saying Rebel only cards; just different cards in the resistance conversion

I wonder how that will shake down now that they are supposed to be a fully viable second faction. It may be our first glimpse of how they plan to implement their system that allows you to only buy one faction's stuff, and still get the available upgrades.

Also Wes.
But coming to think about it:
Tycho, Wes, Hobbie, Ibtisam and Keyan were all part of Rogue Squadron.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is either a Legends Rogue Squadron pack coming some time or an advanced X-Wing Expansion with XJ-Wing or T-65D-A1 versions.

I thought they said no more Aces type packs?

It doesn't have to be a Aces pack. Could just be a single expansion called "Rogue Squadron X-Wing" or "XJ-Wing".

yeah i have no idea; they have very few ships so they are gonna struggle when coming against fully formed factions; i would be shocked to see some new ships along side them; since F/O won't have any access to bombs, or torpedoes and Resistance won't have a dedicated support ship.

I hope Kylo gets a better ability,

Bistan, Guner Ezra and (especially) Gunner Luke all make turrets pretty easy to get a shot on an arc dodger. I guess they're not quite ready to remove easy turrets from the game.

I kinda feel like Dash + Outrider + Gunner Luke is going to be the combo?

In an oddly optimistic move for me, I'm presuming that the YT-2400 doesn't have a gunner slot.

If the YT-2400 even has a gunner slot. It may only have a crew slot. I have a feeling that ship is going to be spendy.

Valid, as we don't know points and slots

No Eaden Vrill ...?

Outrider title plus trick shot! Yikes!

Plus Cassain will be good on turrets.

Also, Leebo now - functionally speaking - has Poe Dameron's ability. That's a scary thing to have on a large ship, especially in conjunction with the Outrider's current favourite thing, Lone Wolf (which is now, at least, once-per turn).

Even if they are priced correctly -- it feels like you're playing a completely different game? You can ignore obstacles while moving, you ignore obstructed shots, you can clear stress by flying on asteroids, you have a 360 degree turret with 4 damage dice all on a 2 evade, 6 hull, 4 shield ship.

So yeah, it'll have to be priced accordingly, but it feels like its taking exception to most of the core mechanics of the game while you're playing.

No new Force Upgrades? ?

C3PO's nerf kind of sucks. I understand the point of not having one guaranteed Evade but it's kind of BS. "Guess the die result but you can't guess this result."
