It’s not a evade + focus stressless PTL though. It’s BR or boost which is decent on I5/I6 but on lower initiative?

Im really not convinced by these aethersprites. Equipping R4 might make them fairly decent. The ARC-170s look quite good though.

You also have the option of Frc/TL and Frc/Foc. Yeah white evade would be great, but it's still pretty flexible. You are paying 11 for a JK 7B over a RSV T-65 which can't evade at all, seems about right.

Not sure about R4, he just makes things blue and you prob aren't going to be stressed too often.

Aethersprites are massively over costed.

Compare I5 L’ulo at 38pts with I5 Plo Koon at 51pts. 2 Force tokens is equivalent of 13pts?

Comparing

Jediknight (3) at 39pts to Green Squadron pilot (3) at 32pts to a Green Squadron Expert (3) at 34pts

The 5 or 7 points seem like a pretty good deal for a force charge and far better ship ability. (you do loose a bit on the dial) but never ever underestimate how strong a force token is.

Also comparing out of faction is probably not the best as there are going to be things cheaper or more expensive in different factions do to other variables beyond raw stats.

All of the other points lists are also saying they have been updated as of today - anybody see any changes to the Empire, Rebels, etc?

Yeah that's not the greatest comp, you loose a rear arc which is major for RZ2. (RZ1 would also be a bad comp cause they suck, lol)

T-65 is prob better, leaves you paying 11 for the Force/Ship ability

I’m still not seeing it, my app says it’s up to date but I don’t see any republic anything? Help?

Someone else posted on another thread - it is updates to hyperspace. Tie Interceptor, All of the U-Wing pilots, Rz-1 A-wings now officially hyperspace legal.

Article on Eindhoven System Open explicitly states what was added to Hyperspace for existing factions. Also states that Wave 3 won't be legal for System Open at Adepticon

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/3/20/the-battle-of-eindhoven/

Did that article just get posted? It's not showing up on the XW2.0 News Feed for me.

@SpiderMana It's showing on the main FFG page for me...at least that's where I clicked on the link to read it from

wait, so we're all trusting the app now?

;)

Strange. I have an apple as well, and i’m seeing it alright.

In the official x wing squad builder app, or is this a different app?

It’s the official app, though I think LaunchBay next has gotten some of the new stuff up.

Not sure why people continue underestimate how powerful force points are. The flexibility of a "floating" renewing dice mod alone is huge, and then you add in the ways it can be used it quickly becomes degenerate. A well flown ship with force and high agility is well near unkillable.

I see your point, arguably the Rz-2 is undercosted (given it’s rear arc option). And yes the other options within a faction make a big difference to what squadrons are viable. I think some of the Jedi might be useful supporting / supported by ARC-150s. Making the ‘Dedicated’ talent (and side arc abilities) do a lot of heavy lifting though.

Is anyone else super concerned for the torrents? They seem wildly overpriced but I guess I will wait to see them played. Also 8 Vultures with energy shells is a thing. Not sure if it’s good but definitely on the list of stuff to throw at the wall.

I briefly checked - Resistance is still the January update, but I would expect anything that got a Hyperspace change would now have to be reviewed.
