I played 1.0 for a while, but I have been away for a long time. I have a bunch of ships that need converted, so I will get the conversion kits for that. What is in the new Core Set that is required for play besides the damage deck? I have tons of the 1.0 tokens and asteroids and what not. Will I need new versions of those from the new Core Set, as well? I am just trying to avoid spending another $30-$40 on a new Core Set if I just need a damage deck. Thanks!

The new movement templates have a line down the center, which is used for barrel rolls.

Also the damage deck.

Would tokens for focus, evade, and all of that be the same?

The core set includes Rebel and Imperial pilots that do not come in the conversion kits. It also includes upgrade cards that are not in the conversion kits. New templates, used not only for barrel rolls but also for positioning when you bump. New charge tokens and force tokens, which do not exist in 1.0 and you might not have enough force tokens in the conversion kits (you should have plenty of charge tokens though). And of course the damage deck.

Shield, lock, ship numbers, focus and evade tokens are different but you could use 1.0 version without too much issue. The Obstacles are the exact same as in 1.0, just a "greatest hits" of 3 rocks and 3 debris.

Thank you! That is very helpful. Even though I don't really need the extra ships getting the unique cards will make it worth getting the set instead of just buying a damage deck.
