Okay. I was thinking Target Syncronizer. We'll have to see. It might still be in.
Tie/FO preview article

seems to be the name of a TIE/sf pilot, according to that article...
Think the pilots are all VERY solid, no real throw away characters and while they don't all have synergy they all look like they can really be a blast to fly. This girl has 6 of them so far and is looking for more! (or I could be lazy and simply use my regular ties, but then the colors wont match!)
Since the abilities are mostly the same as before, Midnight will rule supreme again.
Unless some costs are tweaked, of course.
I love me some Tie FO's, Longshot will probably be one of my standards
The big question is how many can you get into a squad. Especially if you want thematics. So Leader and squad. Plus upgrades if any. Sadly looks like we lost a couple of personal faves. Epsilon Ace is out, as is Zeta Ace? Both had interesting abilities that would have ported over nicely, without being broken. All that is needed now are points, and upgrade options if any are actually included.

I don’t think so. Midnight is literally going to be you get what you get in relation to defense dice with the rewording. Might not be quite the killer you’re thinking.

No juke and no comm relay or optics? No sale.

No comm relay or optics? Are we sure those are not included in the kit? Or in future releases?
Midnight's ability doesn't interact with Juke anymore anyways. No one can mod the defenders defense.

We've seen no evidence so far that the 'hold a token' upgrades are in. The names are but they do what weapons guidance and maybe sensor cluster used to.

I have four. Waiting to see if more are warranted. Hoping the conversion kit is fleshed out enough that I can buy discounted 1st edition ones rather than wanting more bases or something that would prompt the desire to buy the new blister.

There is 7 dials and 26 pilot cards (including all 9 unique pilots) so if you can get more go for it!
Also I'd like to point out the inclusion of plenty of female pilots in this expansion is pretty neat!

That's a ton of pilots! I'll prob pick up at least one more.....

Well, the callsigns are still there, but Zeta Ace (Longshot) got a new ability. I suspect Epsilon Ace will get a similar treatment, though.
If Targeting Synchroniser is still a thing (I think I've seen it somewhere), there is some nice synergy with Lt. Rivas. His locks can then charge up Static and Midnight's abilities.
Commander Glitterstim seems quite good, especially at i5. Longshot also seems like a nice bonus flanker to add to a squad.

It is, was in the Resistance intro article.
Starting to think i need to change my Kylo/Quickdraw/Midnight into Kylo/Quickdraw/Commander Glitterstim.
I've added these spoiled TIE/fo cards to my online card browser. Note that we had 2 spoiled cards from the First Order conversion kit article and 9 spoiled in this article. This article also says there are 12 pilot cards in the blister, so there is still one unspoiled pilot card. Does anyone have any guesses or have found another spoil in some corner of the internet?
(If you want to browse the cards: infinitearenas.com/xw2browse )
Can't wait to play again with my tie/fo !
"Longshot" is my favorite pilot. Elite swarm here we go !

If they ever get a cheap coordinator like Scum or Rebels. Omega Ace wasn't that good in 1.0 even with Advanced Optics, but 2 dice in 2.0 go a bit farther so who knows.
But in a world of raw, untamed power. Now, setting down a result is very rare and good. Omega Ace, no longer needing swarm leader to dent a 1 agi ship thanks to reinforce or evade tokens of 1e, is a gud boi nao.

Well, is 4 ships a swarm? (FO TIE aces of 1.0). I expect to fit 5 near naked aces in a list.

That's what we call a Squadron.
