over the few months i've collected some ships, i notice, some ship packs, list Target lock as an option for the ship's action bar, but did NOT include a TL token pair in the items list as what was included? On another site, someone said that was an offical decision, to stop putting them in ship packs.. Is that right?

Probably. For the later waves. Most x-wing players have enough excess tokens to tile a room, and that is before you take into account people using acrylics. They were about done with the second run through the alphabet, so they had to do something.

Personally, I wish they would include a significant excess of the main types of tokens in the core set, then not include them in expansions except on rare occasions. Would reduce token bloat and either save some cardboard or give them room to include other, less common tokens. Of course, I also wish they would make use of the backs of the pilot and upgrade cards, either putting different pilots on both sides (like base plates) or use the back for some fluff, bios of the pilots and/or technical and historical data on the ships.

It would have been nice to say, have had 30 or so shield tokens, 20 focus, 15 evade, and say 2 dozen target lock pairs, in the core set, then not include any in most expansions.. OR on the TL pairs, gone with #s vice lettering.

This makes a ton of sense actually. You aren’t playing without a core. So put, ya know core stuff, in the core. Ships should be pilot cards and upgrades that’s it. I know from 1.0 I have probably 150 shield tokens, 75 or so evade and focus, waaay too many TL’s...It’s kind of ridiculous.

Locks are going to be matched with the ships ID number now so if an expansion doesnt include ID tokens it probably wont have a lock token either.

And quite frankly they dont need a new ID token with every single ship.

There are zero focus or evade tokens in the conversion kits.

Gonna imagine there are at least 6 in the core.

I got two initial core sets. But it seems either two of my bombers, (used) or one of the bombers and one of the defenders i got, lacked the TL tokens.. But seeing as they were used (as was a lot of what i got), it is not surprising some tokens might be missing.. **** i went through all my numbered tokens (the ship numbers) and have no 9s, 10s.. BUT i got a bunch in the 20-40 region..
