White Flag

By Darth Meanie, in X-Wing

I surrender. Five minutes ago I just per-ordered a 2nd Edition Core set to get the snazzy damage deck.

FFG met one of my criteria for Immediate Conversion: Prequel ships.

I can't repel merchandizing of that magnitude!

There was 2.0 in me; you knew it to be true. So with a wheezing respirator and a credit card in my good hand, I turned to the Light Side.

But don't think for a minute I'm tossing the 1.0 pre-errata Palpatine over the railing. No sir, There are 2 Meanies now:

Chancellor Meanie, who flies 2.0 ships in the Republic, secretly sneering that the Sith Banhammer could have made this all avoidable;

and Darth Meanie, who still flies old-school 1.0 Galactic Empire ships without a conversion kit because TIEs are meant to be cheap and disposable.

It seems I can have my cake, and eat it too.

Now get off my lawn!!

Welcome to the 2.0 world! It’s a wonderful new world to come to.

Im all in on my factions. I’d like to buy prequels too, if funding will permit.

I'm still holding out. I haven't seen anything I like yet. If they release models I like, I'll convert them to 1.0 via Strange Eons.

The Mining Guild TIE is mildly intriguing but it's too late. I probably would've bought a couple under 1.0 rules. Come to think of it, I could've bought custom Mining Guild TIEs but didn't. So, I guess I'm not really that interested after all.

I mean, nothing is stopping you from flying them in 1.0, they are more or less just Tie's with a slightly worse dial and can ignore asteroids while moving.

Sadly, the motivation to buy anything remotely interesting to me is gone. Now, I'm going to have to REALLY like the model to bother.

<cough { sellout } cough> ;)
Welcome.

Yeah, if I had your investment in custom stuff, I hold there, too.

Still, I'm actually not kidding about the 2 Meanie bit. I'm not going to waste my money changing over 1.0 stuff. When I play Empire, Rebels, and old Scum, it's going to be with 1.0 rules, or at least 1.0 gear + the app.

But, since Republic and Separatists will be 100% 2.0, I'll buy a Core Set.

Already, I am wondering how a 2.0 Republic vs. 1.0 Empire battle would work out, since I never played 1.0 broken stuff anyways.

Never thought I'd see a Corner Gas reference on here.

If its entirely arc locked ships with no upgrades you'll have a blast! Wizard!!

I had been holding strong on the fence with no 2.0 preorders. Then the barrage of news and the clone wars and the levee broke. You win FFG. I preordered a boatload of 2.0 tonight. FFG had the high ground the whole time and now my willpower is just a stunned, scorched torso waiting for Palpatine.

I too was on the fence and leaning towards not making the jump. But now I'm all in, glory to the Confederacy! Wooooooot 2.0!!!

I guess they'll make a Core Set for the prequels, perhaps?

Darth Meanie, sir, this post has moved me to where I seriously want to buy you an Imperial conversion set. (no sarcasm, snark, or anything of the sort either)

Time to work on my alternative narrative for X-wing.

The X-Wing Wars

Think of it as a Star Wars Alternate universe where the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, Confederate of Independent Systems, Rebel Alliance, 1st Order, and Resistance exists all at once (Scum included). Inspiration from

You've taken your first step into a much larger world.
