Got my first two games of 2.0 in with my brother today. I was running:

TIE/in Interceptor - •Turr Phennir - 59
•Turr Phennir - Ambitious Ace (44)
Stealth Device (8)
Hull Upgrade (7)

TIE/in Interceptor - •Soontir Fel - 67
•Soontir Fel - Ace of Legend (52)
Stealth Device (8)
Hull Upgrade (7)

TIE Advanced x1 - •Darth Vader - 73
•Darth Vader - Black Leader (70)
Heightened Perception (3)

Total: 199/200

View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

He ran two versions of a Khiraxz fighter swarm.

A 4 Fighter list:

Kihraxz Fighter - Black Sun Ace - 49
Black Sun Ace - (42)
Crack Shot (1)
Shield Upgrade (6)

Total: 196/200

And a 5 Fighter list:

Kihraxz Fighter - Cartel Marauder - 40
Cartel Marauder - (40)

Total: 200/200

Not sure if it was the flying or the dice rolls or what but it was tough times for the Khiraxz fighters.

Vader with the built in advanced targeting computer and his force powers is a beast. And the interceptors remain hard to hit. The imperials won both games without losing a ship.

The game is 99% similar to 1.0 but a few changes - like Vader’s force power and the built in autothrusters and adv targeting computer are good quality of life changes. I also like the new target lock system. Looking forward to getting some more games in.
