I agree. 2.0 was said to change things, this is doing just that

And Boba, not Boba plus Palob stealing your tokens and a pair of tugboats tossing Boba up the board and then throwing you onto rocks.

Is this really a surprise to you? I believe FFG alluded that this would be the situation or even called it out directly.

I believe it is going to be the format of the major tournaments. Something FFG also alluded to or directly stated.

It’s for tournaments with Hyperspace in its name. System Opens are extended because they’re “open”, easy way to remember.

System opens will be Extended with a secondary Hyperspace tourney after you get cut.
Xwing OP page
Store champs are apparently going to be called "Hyperspace Trails" and presumably Hyperspace format only, though I hope that turns out not to be the case.
I still feel like there are some awkward gaps. I was hoping that Hyperspace would add a few more ships than it currently does.
//
Rebels lack any sort of filler ship. Cheapest a Rebel can get is a pretty yucky no-upgrades Y-Wing at 32. Adding either the Z-95 or TIE Fighter would have been great, since that could fill out the last few points in a squad. Even an A-Wing could fill a role Rebels can't currently fill.
Empire... At least they got Strikers. *shrug* No ordnance ships or heavy fighters. They do have a support Reaper, but the Lambda would have been a nice add. Notably, they're also missing pretty much all their good crew. Vader and Sloane aren't Hyperspace. Perhaps for the best.
Scum is in decent shape. Almost every broad archetype of ship, Scum has access to. They have a YT-1300 turret, a swarm ship Mining TIE, an arc dodgy Fang, a cheap support ship in the Escape Craft, and the solid Firespray. If they had, say, the Kimogila, they'd have a basic jouster/ordnance ship, and pretty much every basic role could be filled.

For upgrades, Cannon selection is TRASH. C'mon. Only HLC?

If Boba doesn't have Palob backing him? Scum doesn't have access to the HWK-290 in the Hyperspace format.

Store champs are replaced by the Deluxe wave events including the wave championship events.
Regionals are being replaced by Hyperspace Trials and Hyperspace cups.

Vader gets roflstomped by Boba's rear arc, basically..

Not hard to stay out of arc of Boba when you have supernatural and 3 strikers that can block.
I'm excited for Hyperspace. Each faction has an i6 available to them, i5's are toned down. But there's a lot of generic options out there. Also, super glad YT-1300 made the cut for Rebels.

Yeah they kind of had to. I mean lets face it, fans of the franchise are not too charmed with the Disney's versions considering the last 2 movies.

Also makes every smaller ship class that was at Yavin available to play allowing someone to build themed lists for both the Empire and Rebels centered around that fight.

If you think so.. But be ready to be disappointed.
Boba can realistically take on 3 ships by himself in the late game, and still come on top.
Vader can dodge front arc quite well, but dodging rear arc while still engaging Boba is much more difficult.
I recommend you to actually try the matchup before presenting conclusions..
This is probably the only format that doesn’t sound like a continuation of the balance dumpster fire and lists where all ships have at least 5 upgrades that was 1e.
If I could guarantee league night games would be this format I’d bust the game out again
3 hours ago, CaptainIxidor said: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.
Striker isn't it's getting a reprint in wave 2. The exclusion of the scum z is weird.
And Boba? Poe wins. I6 double modded proton torps.
Imperial are hilariously screwed in this format. Just maybe howlferno works?
I'll stick to extended.

The OP page says "
Each qualified retailer may run one Hyperspace Trial each year."
As far as I can tell, the only events that will count towards Worlds Qualification are Hyperspace Trails (and Cups) and System Opens. So it would seem that Hyperspace Trails are the new store championships.
What is the source for "regional are replaced by hyperspace trails"? PAX south is having a xwing tournament, its usually a regional, and its not list as a system open, so you are saying that its definitely going to be a Hyperspace Trial/Cup?
7 minutes ago, Marinealver said:They didn't B-wings are not allowed.
Rebels didn't have A-Wings or B-Wings at Yavin IV in ANH.
Right now the allowed ships for Empire and Rebels were at the both of the battles involving the first Death Star that have made it to film.

Yeah that's what I linked earlier and what I've been quoting. It says each qualified store get 1 hyperspace trail. As far as I can tell, we don't know anything about major events that aren't opens and aren't tied to a store. Regional aren't "replaced" so much as they just don't exist anymore.
