As per in-flight report from Gen Con.
I thought I had better read to the end before I post. Luckily I did!
yes, the defender, Interceptor and Rebel A are getting redone.
Wait wait wait the Fireball is coming?
YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!
I mean I had a feeling it was coming but seeing it feels awesome. Its cool to see Vonreg's Tie as well.
The card pack is interesting, really curious what it contains,has stuff for the 5 first factions.

You missed Cassian crew in your list of dial-reveal effects!
I don't love dial-reveal effects, but I dislike them less than stuff like Hera and supernatural kylo.
Dial-reveal effects have the big weakness of occurring after you set your dial. You can of course work around this with cassian, seasoned navigator (expensive), or having powerful repositioning abilities, but this takes a bit more effort when list-building.
I have mixed feelings about sense. On one hand, I enjoy the game of setting up bumps without reading my opponent's dials. On the other hand, sense is beautifully thematic and is one of the few actually relevant force powers (the opportunity cost of spending a force point is way too high to use most force powers).

I might be missing something here, but that is two of 7 factions. Are they realy the only ones that has cards that are not avalible in all of the other factions expansions?
F.ex. if I only buy Rebel stuff, will that pack get me ALL cards that are "equipable" on any and all Rebel ships (if I allso buy a atleast one of each Rebel expansion)?

When 2.0 came around, FFG stated that if you were converting your 1.0 collection, you would not have to re-buy ships for your faction to obtain new upgrades, and that you wouldn't have to buy other factions to get them either.
This has meant that new cards have only appeared in entirely new releases (RZ-2 A-wing and Resistance Transport for Resistance, Millenium Falcon and Mining Guild TIE for Scum, and the entirety of the Republic and CIS factions), with FFG having dangled the prospect of 'card packs' as a method to get the new upgrades into circulation for those not buying the new factions.

TWO empire remakes?? what?
Also, sad we aren't getting more Prequel stuff. But at least, a good point rebalance should shake things up enough
Yeah, I figured it was highly likely that at least one of my most wanted prequel ships would be in this wave, as we're narrowing things down.
I didn't really count on there being no prequel ships.
I think it's a fine wave, but it missed the mark again for me personally. I'm almost certainly picking up a Vonreg's TIE though. I have no connection to it, but it's a really nice looking ship.

The real question is who will be first to repaint and/or mod one in an XL5 scheme...
Am I the only one surprised to see a Bossk token on the Z-95 ship?
I can live with there not being a Republic and CIS release this time around; gives my wallet time to replenish, and time to solve the puzzle of where the **** I can store the inevitable medium/large base Republic vessel....

I'd imagine that the token is there for the Nashtah Pup 'ejection' mechanic, so there'll be a token facing for each of the Hound's Tooth pilots.

Interesting... These weren't in the Scum & Villany Conversion Kit, right?

The entitled arrogance you've cultivated regarding your advantage over new players has grown so large and magnificent that it wears a tiny cape and plastic crown to match your own.

No they were not, but most likely they will be in the "Hotshots and Aces" pack, so you will not be missing out if you converted.

That's likely yes. I've given up on Scum, so I'm good.
Hoping to see some first edition Rebel and Empire pilots make their comeback though! And Blue Squadron! Very pleased we're getting these card packs.
Shoot! The fireball model is neat! I only saw few episodes but I'm gonna need this one!
The paintjob on the Nashtah Pup looks great! Don't think I really need another YV-666, though...
I also notice the Bossk token on the Pup. I suspect that may mean we're getting some or all of the named YV-666 pilots in Z-95s in Hotshots and Aces.

I noticed that too. I guess the NP will have tokens to match the HT pilots.

That a joke I will never be such a player/guy like this and I never complain just too happy
But people will still find a way too complain than enjoy the game
Does the card pack cover factions separately or do I have to buy one pack that has a bunch of stuff for factions I don't own?
Just now, Darthsteve said:Does the card pack cover factions separately or do I have to buy one pack that has a bunch of stuff for factions I don't own?
Based solely on the announcement, the pilots card pack is the first 5 factions of the game. So yes, if you only have 1 faction of those 5 you are paying for all of them just for your pilot subset.
The upgrades pack is just upgrade cards, so no in the “buying for stuff I don’t own” category.
Anyone care to speculate what "Hotshots" the resistance may gain in the card packs and on what platforms?
I'd at least and Ep 9 Lando in the Falcon to appear, maybe some new T-70's.

It would be darn near criminal not to have Lando appear as either a pilot or crew card.

It's possible that they'll include some new pilots just for the z95 to be used on its own but I doubt it. If they do, those might also be in the card pack.
