Did you get a mini-pack of extra cards and bases in the conversion kit?
I got the Imperial and Rebel kits yesterday, and both had an additional ziplock, with 4 and 3 extra card/base for 4x Tie, 1x X-wing and 2x Y-wing. These came with an explanation card saying they are in addition to the announced ship sets.

I assume they're to cover the lack of basic ships, as people were shouting when the kits were first announced. Nice, and looked to be late-additions.

I just got my Rebel/Imperial kits today and noticed the additional cards as I was putting everything away. Made me both happy and sad as I had bought that extra tie not knowing they snuck the cards into the the conversion kit. Luckily, I could still use the TIE Advanced, Rebel ships and Scum ships. The TIE dupes are going to my brother, as is the damage deck. Because I preordered, I got the X-Wing damage deck and will be using that (even though I tend to play Empire).

I must admit that I've never been that interested in XWing, but the expansion of the setting has got my attention!

If I could do just some basic Naboo Starfighters vs a swarm of Droid Starfighters that would be really cool...

Whats this? As an exclusive scum player I got the punch and cards from the wave 1 ships (Joy and Frost) is that what you mean? Or is this extra to that.

This isn't scum as I did not get that pack.
If you got a little pack in the kit saying it was extra to the contents list, that might be the same thing though.

If so, you didn't get left out. Kudos to FFG for throwing them in as freebies, and not making you get them some other way.

[It turns out the extras are pilot cards and bases. No additional dials were included]

Well, got most of my conversion kits put up last night. Noticed that Dark Curse is no more :(

What other pilots didn’t make the jump to 2.0 (yet)?

Ahsoka got cut to make room for a 3rd Zeb (maybe due to her PTL / Squad Leader like ability)

Isnt one of the new TIE pilots a functional reprint of Dark Curse?

Second FAQ/errata for second is up;

Changes are;
Failed red actions give stress.
Cannot perform an action that has been failed this round.
Ships deploying in the systems phase do not activate in the activation phase and if it docks it doesnt resolve dial or actions.
A lock action only fails if there is no valis target (this includes obstacles now).
The FAQ is pretty much all common sense stuff except that Vizago allows you to exchange illicits with out the inherent restricitions so it okay to put cloaking device on a large base ship.

All of the extra ziplocks with ship tokens and cards are the Wave 1 extra contents in the standalone expansions, so you didn't have to buy them if you had a bazillion of those ships already.

They were mentionned in the BOLS unboxing vids.

If only there were transcripts of videos people post to blogs.

I have such an overload of data I cant even remember what I have seen and not! So for scum that was the extra bag containing Joy in a fang and Frost in a firespray? Or something else?

Yes, also a Marauder title for the Firespray.

The Rebel conversion set has something similar, with Y-Wing pilots (Nora Wexley and three others I don’t remember)

The Imperial conversion set has the Inferno squadmates (from Battlefront 2) and a TIE Advanced pilot (forgot his name, but used him in my last game and he is murderous in the late game stage)

Well, Aksoka probably got cut to increase the allure of her having her own ship when the Clone-Wars era factions launch.

Most likely but lack of Ahsoka today is still engrumping even with likelihood of Ahsoka later (fingers crossed for her to get a Fang)

She never flew a Fang did she, so why would she get one?

Speaking of Fangs, how are they in 2.0?

She was a weird inclusion in the TIE. Putting her in either or both of the Jedi Starfighters seems pretty likely.

Ahsoka in a Fang? At most, you could ask for Sabine in one

Clone Wars trailer she's with a lady Mandalorion, and Jedi Starfigher will just be TAP's with minor tweaks

Anyone post that all the quick build cards are up?;

I hear tournaments are actually splitting the player base and making it where you can only use ships that are out in 2.0 (no conversion ships allowed). Have no idea why they would do this...

Because they're lazy

It was said that the launch day tournaments were going to do this, also the Yavin tournaments later on the in year.

Well that's stupid. They made the ships to work in 2.0 there should be no restrictions.

Indeed, its because its thematic... Launch day kind of makes sense as its not to exclude people new to the game but I cant see why they cant just be shoved into the full experience if they are going to a sanctioned tournament as if you are just starting why are you going to a tourney? However it is entirely upto the TOs as they can run whatever they want to without the FFG rapid reaction force swooping in and taking the prize kits back.

On the other thematic events I hope they are going to be limited to things like the system opens only and I pray that they don't start using the bloody awful idea of threat cards.

I'm new to the game and I basically bought ever imperial ship already from a dude online. It's easy to get into.

It will also level the playing field for people who only want to buy into the new factions. Even Resistance only... it's daunting to have to imagine a list.

FFG have been doing some live updates to the FAQ on their forum;

New tournament regulations are up and have made fortressing illegal, if you do it then a judge can tell you to break the fortress, if you fail to comply then all your ships are destroyed. Nice.

What is fortressing? (I’m guessing its where you use two or more ships to keep either from moving over several turns, but want to be sure)

Yeah that's right, generally one would set up their ships in a corner so that their slowest move would just make them overlap over and over, mostly its used as an opening gambit to make your opponent commit to an approach.

FFG have also made single ship build illegal! Rules now state that a squadron has to contain between 2-8 ships.

interesting... I'd just throw in a bomber but could mess up a lot of people's builds.
