Isn’t the U-Wing suppose to have 2 base agility now?

Oh FFG, how we love the Easter egg errors you throw into EVERY article...

So the Partisan U-Wings lose a defense die and gain an illicit slot? Interesting.

I guess FFG is finally willing to make pilot cards vary by more than just having a pilot ability and whether there's a talent slot or not in 2.0. That definitely opens up more design space for them, at least.

I believe they were rolling two die with two tubes at worlds so I think it was the regular article error and not a difference between the partisans and regular u wings otherwise the swings would do the same.

Usually it's just the text of the article that has a mistake, but now that I think about it, I seem to recall a time when they had to update a card image in an article.

Eggmates?!?!?!

we've seen the physical card to have 2agi, the preview is more than likely using older assets that were in place before deciding to flip how the ship's agility works.

The 1.0 Norra is now the 2.0 Sharra, and with action efficiency at a premium in 2.0 you're going to see a lot of Sharra with Saw on board.

Too bad we can't daisy-chain regen as readily, would've been nice :(

So does the Rebel Conversion kit have a bunch of illicits in it?

I mean, we barely have any named A-Wing pilots. That cannot stand.

this is the most important thing. We need more A-wings!!!

yes please. right now!

I get why K2SO wasn’t in the original. But if you’re going to make another U-wing expansion, this is the time to include it, theme or no theme. I don’t want to wait years to play with K2SO.

Are we getting generic partisan x-wings in 2.0?

Was the Rebel Conversion kit completely spoiled? Maybe they slipped him in there?

The Zealot is in the card spread.

He'll be in the 2.0 rerelease of the ship, they only gave us all the pilots for wave 1

Q2 FFG? Q2 is done June 30. Saw needs to get off the boat man!

Both generic X-Wings and U-Wings for the Partisans, in the form of the Cavern Angel Zealot and Partisan Renegade respectively.

Like I said. Years away for a ship I already have.

I noticed the pre order button on the upcoming list was gone for wave 14.

Only if there is illicit slot ships in the kit.

Saws expansion has nothing to do with the conversion kit.

I really do hope the U-wing agility value is an error, I'd hate to have a zero agility U-wing while trying to turn it around. Unless that's the intent, and then the (Open) side of the Pivot Wing card increases agility again. I also noticed that Kullbee Sperado specifically references the Configuration card symbol and not the Servomotor S-foils card. I'm sure this is future-proofing, but it gets me excited about the potential for different types of Configurations for X-wings and U-wings down the line. Or any ship that can equip a configuration for that matter.

How do they fail at K-2S0 twice?!!

Three times, U-Wing expansion, this, and now the Conversion Set since unless the U-Wing has five pilots in the set he likely isn't in there. But hey, we still get Heff, you know that one guy never shown on screen and doesn't even make it down to Scarrif? No K2, no BA Lady pilot who was flying around with Bistan, nope we just get 'Ya Man Heff'!

As far as I know they said that only Wave 1 2.0 cards will be in Conversion kits (that is X-Wing, Y-Wing, Firespray, Fang Fighter, Tie Fighter and Tie Advanced.)
For B-Wing, u-wing Interceptor, bomber, scyk etc you would have to buy the packs (or the other way they have mentioned so you don't need to buy a ship to get those couple new cards they are putting on the packages)

So K2S0 would most likely be in the U-Wing expansion pack for 2.0 when it eventually comes

All the upgrades and pilots in the wave 1 expansions are included in the conversion sets, but the stuff in the conversion sets will likely be added to the future re-releases along with new pilots like the B-Wing that is missing Keyan and the A-Wing that is missing Tycho.

Maybe you should read both parts of your post together, see if there is any connection.

PS1 U-Wings with rigged cargo chute or feedback array look pretty annoying.

As others have pointed out, that is not what has been stated.

The conversion kits will contain ships and pilots for everything that was in 1.0, and will contain everything in the first wave. It does not mean that the next 13 waves of 2.0 will only include pilots and upgrades that were already released in the Wave 1 Conversion kit, and will never introduce new things. That would be tremendously limiting.

I mean, we barely have any named A-Wing pilots. That cannot stand.

This is something that they will need to make perfectly clear and 100% transparent during their AMA this week. I'm willing to give them the benefit of trust and buy into 2.0 after spending as much as I have on 1.0, along with the minimum $200 buy-in for 2.0, I don't want to get nickel and dimed for extra card purchases with every wave of re-releases. New cards not included in the conversion kits should be limited to new ship expansions only. No reason why they can't include one or two new ships per re-release wave.
