So as you can see anything from the conversion kits unless it has an expansion announced is banned. Also some upgrades.
Legal ships
No B-wings, no Gunboats, no thanks !
I'll stick to extended
Might as well call this format "Boba Wins"
Hyperspace is just "Second Edition" with a full line up for new the new factions. Makes perfect sense.

Yeah pretty much lol. Boba/Maurader/Han and optionally Perceptive Copilot. That plus 2 fangs or fang/escape

Vader can take boba
You forgot Resistance and First Order, who are allowed all their conversion kit content except Biohexacrypt Codes.
I don't understand why anyone is surprised by this. This is almost exactly what they said it would be. The inclusion of the Modified YT-1300 and TIE Striker are really the only surprises.
No mention of illicits for Scum?

Which makes me really wonder what it does to be excluded.
interesting. seems the rebs and imps are focused on GCW era ships. kinda Scum too. Seems like a theme till you throw in Resistance and FO. Not to mention what CIS and Republic will get when added.

Hyperspace permitted Illicits (per the Generic Upgrades PDF) are Deadman's Switch, Inertial Dampeners and Rigged Cargo Chute.

Keep in mind that the first events with this format won't happen until after the January points cost change... So presumably boba (or at least Han gunner) will have gotten a cost bump before then.

this is kinda my problem with standard too.
Other than dumb luck its insanely hard to deal with Boba or TIE swarms in a standard format.
Formats that limit what you can bring are fine. But when the list of OK stuff is a fraction the size of not OK stuff theres an issue.

"When you perform a coordinate or jam action, you may choose the ship you are locking, ignoring range restrictions. If you do, spend your lock on that ship."
Have no idea why it's banned
Barring SIGNIFICANT balance changes, it's going to be exclusively Boba v Rey
And then if Boba gets the axe, it'll prob just be Rey
And honestly, **** the format's empire stable. Nothing but green dice ugh. Wake me when the TIE bomber becomes legal
Or the republic ARCs!!!

We had a second edition only tournament a few weeks back... Boba did not win. (the empire won)
While boba is good, he is not some insta win overpowered ship, he is simply good.
They banned X-wings?

No. All currently released 2.0 X-Wing pilots are permitted.
Sounds like a very boring format.
Did anyone notice how many ships that are not Hyperspace capable are considered Hyperspace Legal. And how many that are Hyperspace capable can't 'hyperspace' to the tourney?
Hyperspace can't come soon enough, Extended is just 1.5 and I was promised 2.0!
Eh, if there's a format where the worst I have to deal with is Boba, sign me the **** up at this point.
I, for one, am super in on Hyperspace
Yeah Hyperspace is a pretty big bummer. Each faction got one ship over their normal 2nd ed options, if that, so variety is still just not really a thing. I was hoping to see some staples added to the Rebels and the Empire like B-wings and Tie Interceptors. I guess I just don't fully grasp what the point of this format is. If it's supposed to be a cross between 2nd ed and extended, it could use at least another ship or two on each of our primary factions. As it stands it's just the 2nd ed format with Strikers and the Rebel Falcon added in. Pretty underwhelming IMO.
