I love the new Greedo. Whomever shoots first gets the bonus.

I thought it was a great troll from FFG! I foresee Greedo will be besties with Torqil Mux...

Even better: if he shoots first and somehow competently whiffs, his opponent still gets to crit him. So I guess the Special Editor is also accounted for.

Yeah 4-LOM with IG-88D Crew will be nice together with IG-88A pilot. Token sharing all around.

What is the point of the Virago boost? Faster turning? I’m having trouble figuring out how I would use it.

Oh, she can use that to chase I6!

Remember now we still have stuff for the individual expansions left still. Thweek could still be in that.

I suppose that’s true. Though I’m not sure how high a StarViper expansion is considering they recently released a second model. Even if future expansions have card-only packs. Though I suppose you can bundle pilots in with other ship releases a la Most Wanted.

They'll be re-releasing all 1.0 ships in 2.0 expansions, so people aren't required to buy a conversion kit in order to play. It just might take a few waves to get it again.

I do like that there are some fascinating combos with Iggy-A. Guri, L337, 4-LOM, and the Iggy-D crew. That is going to be fun to experiment around with.

Not sure what to think about the HWK reworks until I try them. The PS0 one and the token-stealer both got arc-restricted. That's rough. On the other hand, the ion token one got his range extended to 3 and went from "deal 1 damage" to "deal 2 more ion tokens", which is enough to affect anything. Definite buff there.

Arc-restricted, but so are a lot of things in 2.0. The HWK chassis got one of the biggest buffs, if not the biggest buff. Torkil's ability was actually pretty darn good in 1.0, he was just on a ship that sucked. I imagine a Moldy Crow HWK is going to be a ship to reckon with in 2.0.

It's also in keeping with the Rebel HWK pilots, who also require mobile turret usage to be effective.

YES!! Guri is finally out of the thematic shadow of (useless) Xizor and at the same level as Boba Fett, Old Teroch and Talonbane! Where she should be!

Now I think Talonbane should have been a 6 but on the other hand he did get killed in the battle over Tansari Point Station so who am I to judge XD

To be fair to Talonbane, he got killed in the battle of Tansari Point Station... A LOT. I don’t think there’s a final death tally for how many times he’s died and come back to die again.

But oh yeah, Guri is going to be a phenomenal monster on the table!

Fel’s Wrath, and now Thweek. I’m assuming Thweek will get introduced somewhere along the way. Fel’s Wrath though... might just be gone for good.

Soooo... Traj Sim is a dude with a big screen now.... ie. the huge ship, Targeting Coordinator bod.

This will require a little refurbishment of the Punishers cockpit.

You say it needs to get... bigger?

I'm scratching my head a bit about why they decided Dalan Oberos still needs to fly two separate ships: StarViper and Kimogila. Is he a really well known character or something? Couldn't they have made one of those a different pilot? I mean, they sure went wild with switching the names of TIE fighter pilots.

Torkhil gonna be really strong because his ability is not range restricted and works in any firing arc.

Love Graz. Looking forward to tossing LW on him and releasing him to actually live up to his name and HUNT!

Guri and Virago. She is gonna tear **** up

I believe he is one of the NPC-s from tbe rpg line.

Lol.

I imagine clearing a little space on the dashboard, installing a booster seat for him to perch on and strapping a button to his knee

"Prepare to launch bomb!"

:leans over and pokes bomb launching dude.

... reaches for medium base Firespray(s) and Fang Fighter squad list rolodex [insert sinister Jabba laugh here].

Interesting thought: no Tech upgrades. Has the Quadjumper lost the slot?

Although it's in the sequel trilogy it's clearly not a teched up ship. I would t mind if it lost the slot and dropped a point or two.

Since Salvaged Astromech is also gone (merged with Astromech) odds are they're getting rid of some faction-specific slots. Since Resistance and FO are their own factions right now, differentiation of the sequel ships by the Tech slot might no longer be necessary.

Torkil is still range restriced at 1-3. FFG has said that any ability without a range listing is 1-3. Its better than his current 1-2, but its not limitless.

Am I the only one who is disapointed with the Shadow Caster title? It forces you to have your arc forward, not that you're gonna hit alot with those puny two dice, but it makes you reduce your shooting angle by half.

Also not quite satisfied with Manaroo, they could have increased her range to at least 0-2.

Also noticed there is no force power for Asajj, does that mean anything or they simply decided not to add one, since it's only 1 ship?

Pretty happy with many other things though. Including Virago, Guri, Greedo and others.

Force Power are in the Core Set, none in any kit

If my Tel dies in the same turn that Moralo flies off the board, does that mean my opponent has won or do I get to redeploy stuff in my reserves ... this is one funny combo that I hope I will get to do.

Also what if Moralo flies off a corner , as opposed to an edge.
