Great blog, brother.

Once they started putting in extended non 2.0 release ships into Hyperspace, it killed my enthusiasm for the format. I really liked it being a place where the new players could enter easily, and worked with my local community to try to enhance that with tournaments and the like. I'll still work with the newbies in that manner to help them out. But between the invasion of extended in HS and the soon to be 3rd largest city in the nation not getting a Hyperspace Trial, I could care less about the format as of this time.

I'm relegated myself to just burning the world with my Scum Force Five of Crack Teroch, Jammy Beam Serrisu, Crack Talonbane, and Dorsal Trick Nym. It's basically me just throwing a fit that the perception is Scum is bad and just surrendering to Extended. It's pretty punishing. 5-1 so far. I don't play this list against new players. It's good that my local guys are all likable and they're seeing me through this tough time in my X-Wing life.

I loved Hyperspace as a haven for the frontier new blood of the game and will happily return to it full time should FFG return it to its intended roots. But they've made it pretty clear as of late with all of this and the fact that World's and the other national tournaments being extended; new players are not necessarily welcome there.
