With 2.0 allowing 2 attack dice ships to be much better, I wonder who will be the first to put a Rebel TIE swarm on the table?

I mean, look, you can already do THIS:

Ehhh, TIE swarms work because of Howlrunner in 1e, so I doubt there would be much to this. The Rebel TIE is good because of Rex (and previously, because of Ahsoka, before the SHeathipede), not because of the general goodness of the TIE.

True, for something like this to work I think the Ghost would need boost (Ahsoka) and I don't think that's happening in 2.0.

Also, they really, really ought to make it so that there can only be one rebel TIE in a list, regardless of who pilots it.

You’re forgetting caption Rex!

I hope somebody brings that up in the q & a.

But the conversion kit comes with two dials

I agree 1000000000%.

I honestly think a Rebel TIE swarm is the dumbest thing ever.

I liked flying rebel ties with Swarm leader Han

I bought two rebel ties to run them all together with two imperial tie models. My rebel ties still sit on the shelf un opened.....

Do not want

Not entirely true. Howlrunner was good, certainly, but the Tie Swarm worked because the Tie Fighter was the best jouster in the game prior at the time as well as the best blocker (allowing it to deny more expensive ships their dice modifiers in a pre-predator/autothrusters world).
