    Have we seen anything that indicates that TIE Strikers will be able to get a third agility in 2.0, a la Lightweight Frame in 1.0? I feel like their 1.0 point cost was designed with Lightweight Frame in mind.

    The reason I ask is, I want to run some 2.0 proxy games with a friend but I'm not sure how to spec out my Strikers points/upgrade-wise.

    What everyone else said, but I'll add that regardless of what actually happens, if I were you I would start out with just the core and 1 imperial conversion set (and the TIE Reaper, of course), and then see how it plays out. 

    This is exactly my plan actually. I'm also trying to track down some used first edition imperial ships for cheap to get a better return on my conversion kit. Ideally I would find someone local who wants to go mono rebels in 2.0 and trade them my unwanted rebel ships for their unwanted imperial ships.

    they also said not all upgrades might be available for all factions at once, you might have to wait for the next wave for an upgrade.

    I see. That's a rather important distinction, but nothing that can't be solved by patience and/or short-term borrowing from friends. Thanks for clarifying that.

    I'm thinking about getting back into the game with 2.0, and I want to convert over only my imperial ships and be just an imperial player. If I get 1 core + 1 imperial conversion kit, will I get all the upgrades from the first wave? Or will there be upgrades exclusive to the other faction conversion kits (besides faction-only uniques, of course)? Has FFG clarified this?

    By the way, for anyone on here in the AA/Ypsi area, there is a tourney this Sunday at Fun 4 All in Ypsilanti. Here are the details:

     

     

    Standard 100-point dogfight.

     
    No entry fee, but you are encouraged to buy something from the store. Prizes will be from tournament kits.
     
    Store opens at 12, and I'd like to start round 1 as close to 12:30 as possible.
     
    This will most likely be 4 rounds Swiss.
     
    If the YT-2400 and VT-49 are not in stores by then, they are not legal.
     
    Prizes: I have a full summer kit with the bomb tokens plus left over promos from previous kits. Stress tokens, promos, etc.

    Anyone make it out on Thursday for whatever it was they were doing?  Been sick this week, so there was no way i could have made it.

     

    Dane and I picked up some Wave 4 ships and got a couple of games in. I finally beat Dane's Wedge+Roark+2xBlue list for the first time!

     

    There didn't seem to be any other comers for X-Wing demos or anything, but the new force pack did come out for the LCG so the other Star Wars guys were out in full force. After Dane left I caught a couple games of cards with them.

    Khyros and Johdo reacted to this

    Any of you guys at any of the stores, RIW being the most convenient, mind games against a new player? I have a decent understanding of the game so far, but nothing more than 3-4 games under my belt.

     

    New players are always welcome at any venue I've played at (RIW in Livonia and Fun 4 All in Ypsilanti). Do you have any plans to come out to RIW tonight? X-Wing is the game of the day and everything X-Wing is 25% off.

    To All: I find your lack of X-Wing disturbing.

     

     

    As for next week, next Thursday will be 2 days after my girlfriend moves into my place and 2 days before we take a trip to Colorado, so my being at RIW is uncertain. Always in motion is the future...
