What Will be Your First 2.0 Ship?

[kempokid 868]

What ship included in 2.0 are you most looking forward to putting on the table? Whether from the spoilers we’ve gotten about new abilities/upgrade features, or just something you’re hoping gets better with the update?

For me, it’s the B-Wings. I’m curious to see the new dial (hopefully there is one) and new abilities. Ten Numb looks awesome already.

Well, my favorite ship is the little TIE Bomber, which, sadly, was totally outclassed by the Gunboat. I'm hoping it will be competitive, and I like the idea of banked bomb drops for all the pilots, freeing up their talent for something cool. I'd love to make Tomax Bren a Missile throwing ace, or to make Deathfire a cheap add on. Will be interesting to see what they look like.

First will be a U wing, some x wings, and a couple tie reapers.  Because wave 14 lands before 2.0, right?

 

When is that coming, by the way?

All hail. The butt guns.

Interceptors. And TIE/ln. As it should be.

I’ve been building out some Interceptor lists to try out just to get reacquainted with the dial.

@HolySorcerer grabbed images of what appears to be the B-Wing’s new dial from the teaser video FFG put out. 

For those not wanting to squint, it looks to be 

1 Speed: Blue straights and banks.

2 Speed: Blue Straights and banks. White turns.

3 Speed: White straights, banks, and turns. Red T-Rolls.

4 Speed: White straight. Red k-turn.

So it's basically an X-Wing?

The whole dial seems to be faster, so it kind of makes sense that the k-turn is made longer as well.

2k is almost completely useless vs large bases, but I was wondering how it’d fair with the new medium base being introduced.

[VanderLegion 4,939]

Well, my FIRST 2e ships will be the xwing and u-wing from renegades :P.  First ones I'll put ont he table will probably be starvipers mixed with something else from scum.  Maybe a firespray.

3 Troll is pretty similar in forward distance I think, it just has that left/right offset of course.

>ARC<

With x/y in supporting function 

or punisher

Possibly work gunboat/bombers/defender...

 

So many possibilities

Ah, good point. Still not use to the adjustments to the T-65 dial. 

It’s shown flipped by a B-Wing with a template set up for a maneuver on it in the teaser. It’s perfectly possible that they just used a T-65 dial for the presentation, though you would think it would be common knowledge that someone in the community was gonna “zoom and enhance” anything that looked new.

Guess we’re back to the wait and see stage.

I miss phantoms so hard and I intend to bleed my own blood to make them work with a mini swarm somehow. 

[Seraphimtoaster375 151]

Aggressor and StarViper. I hope the wings and little pincer things, sorry "docking clamps", can move. *pinchy pinchy

[Arschbombe 997]

TIE/Ln.  The original.  As many as will fit in 200 points.
