I'm somewhat of a lapsed 1.0 player but i was very excited about the concept of the quick build cards in 2.0. I don't often get to make it to store events and one of the reasons my wife and i don't play much is that it takes as long to pick out a squad and all the cards as it does to play the match. Plus, every time i buy a new ship it gets more difficult to keep up with what all the choices are, even when i've gone way overboard and put everything in binders to make going through them easier. Enter quick build cards.

Seemed like a good way to jump into a game (especially with the app to help prepare the items we needed) but in practice, i only have a handful of choices after buying a core set, y-wing, and imp/rebel conversion. I suppose it was too much to hope to get at least 1 card per expansion in the conversion kit but I don't even think i can technically play a full escalation game on the imperial side with what i have (not only lacking quick builds but i might be the only guy who owns less than 5 tie fighters because my other half loves the 'sexy' side of the empire - advanced, defenders, gunboats, etc).

I understand they need to make money but am i going to be stuck buying one each of every expansion just to get the cards? The app info seemed to imply that info would be in there as well but not sure if it got dropped or if it's coming at a later time or what.

Do we have any ideas on where they are at with that and what their plans are for future quick build cards? has anyone cracked the code of the threat formula they are using?

I dont think theres been much info on threat cards.

One may as well just play lists seen on streams or YouTube videos. A threat card is just a net list really.

Quick builds are available as a pdf at the FFG 2d Edition x-wing site..

That is awesome info, thank you. I guess we'll have to see if they will keep these files updated as they release additional expansions. Feels like a yes since they clearly added more than just what's in the core set.

At least now i have a large enough sample size to kind of guesstimate how much threat to assign a gunboat or reaper for escallation. There has to be some correlation here between ship points and EPT etc and the threat value.

The list has everything but the core set ones..... for some reason. I guess they assumed everyone has the core set but it would be nice to have all of them in one document.

That's kind of funny. Thought i saw Luke on there but yeah, no core set cards. I wonder what the deal is with that.
