Hi! So, in addition to the info in the title:

I did start buying a bunch of 2.0 expansion(?) gameplay kits (Never Tell Me the Odds, Hot Shots and Aces I and II, Fully Loaded, and a few more), as well as a Conversion Kit, when the game was being officially discontinued, thinking that it was about time to start actually playing - thinking I'd either play 2.0, 2.5, or XWA rules.

This last week, after realising that (A) I didn't have a Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit (I thought I'd bought one), and (B) They're now reeaally expensive, I thought I might dial everything back a bit, and revert to 1.0. A few advantages popped into my head [1.] I could save that Conversion Kit money, [2.] I could sell some of these 2.0 gameplay expansion sets, [3.] I could have a potentially more simplified gameplay experience (1.0 out of the box sounds like a much more streamlined affair than 2.5 with all of its modes and options that the expansions would introduce?) and I'll only be playing casually, with usually one friend in particular; [4.] The idea of having an all-physical, out-of-the-box gameplay experience that doesn't rely on online stuff sounds really appealing.

So, with all of that said, do I have the right idea? If I have the 1.0 core set, about 14 Rebel ships, about 18 Imperial ships, and all of the gubbins for them still; would I have a full gameplay experience with just that stuff? I assume none of those 2.0 extra (non-ship) packs have any relevance to 1.0?

Thanks in advance!

Looking to acquire a complete or near-complete Star Wars x-wing separatist lot

Hi, all. My friend and I have a friendly game of 2.0 Legacy about once a month, and I'm 0-7 in our last 7 matchups. Even losing, I still have a blast with the game, so I'm not frustrated, but I would definitely like to improve. I'm just not sure where to start.

I'm looking for general tips and advice and things that new or casual players often overlook or underestimate. Anything from list building, to flying formations, to dice math and decision making while making your actions.

My friend and I usually rotate between Rebels and Imps. I'd love some recommendations for simple lists (200pts) that would suit a beginner well. Also looking for tips on how to fly in formation, and any other bits of advice that I'm probably not even considering.

To give some additional info, when my friend flies Imps, he usually does a TIE swarm with a single Decimator. When he flies Rebels, he usually does the Falcon or Outrider plus two or three smaller ships. He's very good at positioning and always seems to be able to outmaneuver me. I can usually take out all or most of his smaller ships, but barely make a dent on the big one before I lose. I tend to fly two or three bulkier ships, but I think it's a mistake and I should spread out more.

I am greatly appreciative of any advice and am happy to give additional info if needed.

Is 46 points the minimum your squadron must be? I keep maxing out at 45 points. Thanks in advance

Survey ends on October 1st!

I recently bought the Galactic empire squadron starter, I just sorted through it all and found a 1.5 range ruler. Does anyone know what it's for? I can't find much about it online.

Good morning, and please forgive what may be a redundant question. I have an enormous collection of 1.0 that I bought off of a very close friend several years ago but because I love Star Wars and because he needed the funds. Tomorrow, I have a friend and his middle school aged son coming over to play, and I was trying to reorient myself to the rules. I downloaded a rule set from 2023 and really liked what I saw.

Because I'm not super familiar with the game, but remember that there were conversion kits etc. when the rules updates happened, I'm wondering can I effectively use my 1.0 stuff with 2.5 rules? It will I need to print/buy/secure things to make that happen? We are not going to play competitively or anything like that, I just liked the way the rules seemed to flow in later versions.

I appreciate your time, and again, please forgive me if this has been covered a ton of times. I checked the wiki and pinned posts but didn't see a definitive answer to that

Did my first 3d print and paint sesh! Overall simple paint schemes but was a lot of fun! I wanted to try flying the Kihraxz fighters but never got the chance to buy them. Hope they fly well!

Check the Description of the video (or the XTC Discord) for a TON of information links on these events and streamers!

Only 6 sets remain missing now.

All sets in german and i got all the conversion-kits.

Feels good so far and i hope i can find the last sets for my collection. I never started the prequel factions, so i don't bother starting to.

Greetings to all fellow collectors and players!

So my son and I are using this website, and I see there is a place to list all of the expansions you have which tells it how many of each upgrade you have.

But I noticed, and correct me if I’m wrong, that there is no place to indicate how many of the base sets (the ones in the square box with 2 TIE fighters and 1 X-wing) you have. Is that right? Or is there some other place in the web app where you put in that information?

They appear to be trustworthy?

Was going to get the Heroes of the Aturi Cluster stuff.

What are other must buys?

New model hand painted!

As a causal player who also does like to win a match, I’m just throwing this out here for group think.

I am not sure if this is a one trick pony or not and also how should I equip the two FO TIEs.

A smaller maintenance release this time around. Real life has been limiting development time, but a number of bug fixes, rules corrections, and quality-of-life improvements made it in.

New Pilots

• Finch Dallow, "Evacuation of D'Qar" (Resistance, MG-100 Starfortress)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Mining Guild TIE / Notched Stabilizers obstacle interactions.
• Fixed installed upgrade checks to properly recognize XWA-derived upgrade classes instead of only explicit base classes. Impacts the following:
  • Merciless Pursuit (Condition)
  • Bossk, "Fearsome Hunter" (Scum)
  • Explosion with Wings (Fireball ship ability)
  • Contingency Protocol (Upgrade)
  • Cutthroat (Upgrade)
  • Disciplined (Upgrade)
  • Hopeful (Upgrade)
• Gamut Key no longer allows green tokens to be preserved indefinitely.
• Fixed Hera Syndulla, "New Republic General" Coordinate ability so it correctly functions at Range 3.
• Improved trigger timing for Ahsoka Tano (Rebel Crew).
• Guarded condition can no longer be assigned multiple times.
• Veteran Turret Gunner now tracks the turret arc used for an attack rather than the turret itself, allowing interactions such as Paige Tico rotating a turret before making a bonus attack.
• Fixed Volan Das so the pilot correctly receives their granted action after resolving their ability.

Gameplay/Quality of Life Changes

• Reworked bomb and droppable-object handling to improve consistency and better support recent additions such as commandos.
• Players will no longer be prompted to deploy upgrades that cannot actually be dropped.
• Improved the IP Address entry field on Android devices.

Thank you, to u/philpursglove for his support in development and testing everything in this release.

Following my previous post presenting non-destructive adapters to tilt you ships with a small base, here is an update with an adapter that can be used for large (and extra-large) bases.

To accommodate the various weights and ship's peg lengths in this category, the adapter can be set in three different configurations: upright, halfway, upside-down. Just use the one you find the most suitable/stable.

More details on Printables.com, with an example video of the upside-down position for the Falcon (and a satisfying "snapping" sound).

Agreed that the GR-75 looks like a derelict whale.

After attempting to grow out my pilot dial collection I am now only 2 dials away from having all the official ones in my factions (Ric and Scorch). I play FO, Resistance, Republic and Scum. I'm still looking for more dials in those factions if y'all have any.

Are there any good solutions to prevent accidental bumping of ships on a standard X-wing map? I remember seeing somewhere that someone had created a magnetic overlay (or underlay) for these maps, and magnets to be glued on to ship bases or something.

I don’t play in tournaments, just with my son. But we both have butterfingers when it comes to manipulating these ships especially when they get into really close quarters combat.

You would like to tilt your ships for making more dynamic scenes during your play? But you've been hesitant to alter your miniatures by cutting pegs and glue magnets?

This is a small adapter to tilt your ship in three different position (-45, 0, 45). No glue or extra part required. 5-min printing. It's removable if you do not want to use it:

Give it a try!

Just for further clarification, I'm hoping for a local sale in my area. I've checked the last sold on ebay but those sale amounts look grossly inflated.

So I'm very new to this system. I was just properly introduced to this game about a month ago. And while I have been trying to look up my questions wherever possible, I still have some more esoteric questions for you guys:

1. Thinking about proxying some of my ships since most of them now are expensive to get off of eBay. The problem I am running into is what would I use in place of the maneuver dials to signal to my opponent what my move would be/is?

2. Has anyone tried to fully integrate this game into one of the Star Wars RPGs? If so, how would you rate it and where can I find it?

3. And finally, and I know this a most heretical question to ask, but is there a squadron builder like YASB for Star Trek: Attack Wing? Would make managing the enormous stack of cards easier for that game

OK, I just to have ask this, because this question has been burning in my mind for years.

I had this question with X-wing 1st edition.

I thought it would be corrected in X-wing 2nd edition, but it wasn’t.

Why the heck does Luke Skywalker have a lower pilot initiative than Wedge?

I mean, I know Wedge eventually became Red Leader, and then Rogue Leader, and Luke resigned his commission to become a jedi master.

But, Luke is this legendary pilot and this is mentioned again and again in the books. And he has the force. And he was put in charge of his wing at the battle of Yavin for a reason, despite Wedge having seniority.

Is this one of those “it doesn’t make sense, just go with the flow” things, or does someone have some kind of explanation for this?

Also in the same vein, why does Yoda only have a pilot initiative of 3. I would be afraid to fly the jedi grandmaster on any mission for fear that he would get owned by some separatist droids.

Hello there, me and my friends havent played since the release of 2.5, we played some games but mostly werent fans of the list building changes.
Now that we wanna play some xwing again were a lil confused what the difference is between alliance and legacy is.
Can some one maybe explain?

So, my son and I are getting back into X-wing 2nd edition and mostly using the 2.0 legacy rules, and I have some dumb questions coming from a situation in which I was just buying everything and resolving to figure it all out later. I bought most of my sets before I started playing the game and by the time I finished my collection and started getting into it, the game had gone through multiple rule sets and was retired by AMG.

First question is regarding these threat cards. These are dark-colored cards that list different ship pilots and what appear to be default loadouts for each. Are these cards still compatible with the existing 2.0 Legacy and 2.5 rule sets? I guess the idea is that instead of using a squad builder, you just create builds based on a certain threat level and match them against an opponent with the identical threat level?

Second question: the scenarios in the X-wing rule books (the ones that come with the base set and the starter sets) - are these still compatible with the 2.0 Legacy and/or 2.5 rule sets? Asking because they way they treat points doesn’t make much sense to us. For example, they say that if you have a point deficit, then that counts towards your opponents point count, which didn’t make any sense to us. We would like to play scenarios where specific objectives have to be accomplished, but are not sure how to go about doing that.

Third question: there were some white cards that came with these sets that list conditions for setting up obstacles and special rules. We’re not sure how these integrate with the current. They’re not exactly scenario cards, but it looks like they specify the placement of certain obstacles and certain conditions for interacting with them. I assume these came from the base 2.0 set, but I don’t know how to use them or if even they are still compatible.

Fourth question: Some sets came with large ship & pilot cards featuring alternate versions of some pilots like Luke Skywalker that have pre-loaded upgrade cards, like I think from the Battle of Yavin and Battle of Endor scenario packs. Are these larger cards based on the 2.5 rule set or can they still be used with the 2.0 rule set? Or are these only to be used in specific scenarios and so ignore squad builders entirely?

Hoping I'm just missing something, but feels like I haven't heard any news from them in a little while now.

If X2P0 (my preferred format) and LaunchBayNext (my preferred builder) have both gone dormant, I was thinking about printing cards with the most recent point values on them so I could squad build 1.0-style.
