What is X-Wing Second Edition? | Core Set Demo w/ Alex Davy

[@lynnmoore3684]

So, it looks like everything but the ship cards are transferable from First to Second Edition???

[@teamcovenant]

Great question Lynn, off the top of our head the only new things you will need for Second Edition are ship cards, cardboards for the bases, new damage deck and the new tokens, however all the first edition tokens are compatible! If we think of anything else we will let you know!

[@InfernoDragon1]

this is true. however Fantasy flight has released conversion kits for Rebels, Empire, and Scum factions to update all existing ships into the 2nd edition rule set. also of note, a small number of the ships that were "small" size class in 1st edition have changed to "medium" size class in 2nd edition so these conversion kits ARE REQUIRED.

[@joehendrson3815]

It should be I would by one and a cramp ton of folks would also

[@lefty8957]

Looks great! I like that you kept it simple by not using pilot abilities or force for this quick demo. Looks like it really is possible to teach in just a few minutes.

[@dragonzord6615]

I love the quality of these games and the effort you put into editing this. I'd love to see more games of this being played by you guys :D

[@teamcovenant]

So would we! Cheers

[@ejrasmussen]

Why did you guys stop making x wing videos, I loved when you used to cover all the new waves of ships, it was super informative and helpful!

[@b1battledroid476]

That death star game mat is quite bright, does yours also give you a headache from looking at it too long?

[@teamcovenant]

It didn't in person, it might just be the close camera shots and a bit of color correction happening in the camera. If we use it again we'll tamp down the brightness a tad.

[@shygun3549]

So how do you determine what cards you use for the first round before reinforcements, ‘cause when my friend and I played our first map I choose to use luke and he used iden and another character, is there a certain thing that tells us what we should use for the first few ships?

[@joehendrson3815]

Where can I get that map looking for one since I started playing

[@ScottLewislovesyou]

i just read the new rules pdf but cant find anything about losing the action if you cant complete it e.g. target lock or barrel roll. Have i over read something?

[@MrJeepinZeke]

Scott Lewis More than likely this will be clarified in the Rules Reference. The rules that are out now for the Gen Con event are more of an introductory rule set that goes with the core intro game from what I gather.

[@markm5171]

So what to do if you like the new rules but have collected a little bit of everyting?? In my situation the two core sets and every ship up to wave 7. Maybe just keep collecting up to wave 14 and then start 2.0. Do the conversion kits cover everything up to wave 14?

[@teamcovenant]

Great question Mark! Lets add an #AskCovenant tag and see about getting your question answered in a podcast!

[@teamcovenant]

We are planning on upgrading our collections one faction at a time, for instance, Zach has collected almost every ship which many multiple. He flies Imperial the most, so he will be buying the conversion kit for that faction first. Later if he gets the itch to fly some Rebel, he will look at the other conversion kits then. Hop this helps Mark! Let us know what you decided.

[@MrJeepinZeke]

Very excited for 2.0. May the Empire reign supreme!!

[@fredbecerra1608]

Is that map available for purchase?

[@MrSkorm]

As a potential new player it all looks interesting but the angle of shooting in this demo really looks like it doesn't belong. Reminds me of the Wanted movie with the whole bending of bullets.

[@enigma1705]

Do you think they will ever add the CIS and Republic since FO and Resistance are now their own factions? Just interesting since TCW is coming back and I actually enjoyed the prequels

[@teamcovenant]

We hope so! Cannot wait to drop some buzz droids!

[@enigma1705]

Team Covenant That'd be a cool mechanic, they could be like bombs or a ship with only a 1 straight movement but if it rams it gets attached and does some over time damage

[@kyle857]

They said they are adding Republic and CIS.

[@joehendrson3815]

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT MAT NICE, I WANT ONE.

[@teamcovenant]

It is awesome, FFG had it made and uses it in their demos. Currently not for sale that we have seen.

[@jagbarakor1303]

Where do you get that playmat?

[@teamcovenant]

The Death Star playmat is a demo mat FFG made for their studio! It is not for sale that we have seen.

[@jagbarakor1303]

Team Covenant They should sell it. Been hunting for Trenchrun mat. Bought one but it was bad...

[@MrMegaFishey]

And then there was never any speak of x-wing ever again

[@jasonbarkman]

Was this the final X-wing video? Why?

[@teamcovenant]

It was. What else would you want to see?

[@jasonbarkman]

@@teamcovenant Like everything you did for 1.0... for 2.0

[@starphantomps4user643]

Cool love x wing

[@teamcovenant]

It is a lot of fun!

[@isaacwaffle1760]

5:59 use the force Luke

[@BestShifty]

I thought the same, but apparently Force is to complicated for a basic showcase

[@Pitdmn]

What about those towers?

[@teamcovenant]

They are like the asteroids of the demo map.

[@thatdude2508]

Sean H You worry about the fighters I'll worry about the towers

[@thomasorest512]

whooooooooooop whoooooooooooooooooooooooooop whoooooooooooooooop

[@grantmorgan1104]

Did you guys just stop playing/promoting after second edition came out? I love watching your xwing videos(unboxing, tournament, etc) but it seems like you just quit once FFG rebooted?

[@teamcovenant]

We essentially did, but it was actually unrelated to Second Edition! We're planning to get it on stream at some point, but our content goals shifted pretty dramatically around this time.

[@grantmorgan1104]

Team Covenant I hope you bring it back. You guys have great content across the board but I loved the XWing content the most. Thanks for replying!

[@danacoleman4007]

This game wishes it was as good as Silent Death.

[@IKvASS]

Wait a sec... so what's different?

[@ejn415]

Pawel Grzonkowski there are minor tweaks to actions, they’ve added force charges, and regular charges to pilots and devices. And subtle changes to barrel rolls and how and when you use tokens. They are small changes that make the quality of life of the game much better. And all of the squad building will be app based so they can change point values on the fly.

[@kyle857]

@@ejn415 Overall the little changes make a huge overall improvement.

[@PpAirO5]

I wish i never bought this game, they just fucked it all up by making a 2.0 edition.

[@jeek78]

play computer games.. easier

[@furretthefuzzynoodle3896]

jeek not as fun no interaction with people it helps social skills aswellb
