Apparently X-wing is getting a 2nd edition remake. I am unsure what that means to any of the current line and this is in wake of the Saw Gerreras expansion set. I hope it's just a rule clean up and clarification and only replaces the original starter box. I will let you know what I learn

Looks like an upgrade to the old game but one that makes all but the models irrelevant. Looks like the dice and movement templates are the same but all cards look like they will be replaced by what you can buy in the upgrade packs.
Also they are introducing 2 new factions, First Order and the resistance. Makes sense, they really are 2 different things.
The big change is that points will no longer be printed on cards. To use a point build system you will have to have their app. Kinda torn on this one. On one hand no need for printed FAQs for point changes and wording changes but then again you will have to have the App for anything more than a casual game.
Be interesting to see where it goes. Looks like it will play the same on the surface but will have new things to do and see once the game gets going.

Yeah that's a big deal to change over a collection. As a player with multiple ships of the same I would have to run the app to play otherwise it going to cost a fortune to get what I need. This kind of sucks against the narrative we wanted to go with legion if we were running current. Well when the new starter hits retail this game will be on the back burner....

This review of some information by Crabbok explains some of the things coming
After seeing this, I am going to be really force out or so delayed on this is irrelevant to convert. The price tag to rebuy in is crazy. $300 and walking away with just three starter box ships to play my HUGE collection is just dumb. I am going to wait for price drops and see if the value changes but I have decided not to jump into the new edition. I can't afford that amount of change. Maybe $100 but not higher. What is the community's thoughts?

This interview by Team Convenant from Andrew of FFG.
Damn. The pop up video they put in during the interview got me a little. The Hyperspace jump in was something I saw which I think is a very cool thematic game component. The ship inserts do look clean and ships appear to have a bunch of options in flying. [Y-wings barrel rolling and gaining stress as a base option]
I also have been seeing additions of pilots from lore outside the movies. Iden Versio from the video game and Norra Wexley from Aftermath were two I spotted. Maybe we split 5 ways, I do Empire and we get other members to do a faction. This allows us dedicated players to get back up to components when funds are there not overwhelming us. Thoughts?

That really sucks that it would cost so much to stay in the game with everything you’ve already invested into it.

I'd be down for picking up just 1 of the conversion packs to start so we can at leas tstart on the new system. I'd have to waste my investment on what I have bought.
On the upside I am sure the secondary market will become quickly flooded with people jumping off the game. We have until September at least to figure it out though.

When is the Scum conversion kit scheduled to come out? Are the factions without conversion kits sidelined until the kits are released?

Well that would be better smart timing. The article made it almost seem like the conversion kits would be released on different months along with with other new release models.That would be just plain crazy.

I was reading them all today and the 2 new sets coming out soon Saw's Renegades and the Tie Reaper will have the stuff to play them in both editions as well, so they got that one right too.
They said the First Order and resistance upgrade packs would be available with the fist set of expansions, so I imagine a couple months later.

Release date is this week. I am planning on buying the started set and the rebel upgrade pack to start. I'll end up getting the imperial one down the road too. I don't have any scum yet so I may just wait until those start being re-release.
Also I know the Complex is planning on marking down anything pre-2nd edition, I am sure there will be all kinds of deals out there on all the 1st edition stuff. I plan on taking advantage of it as much as I can.
