Okay so it looks like the Xwings are going to be 3-2-3-3

Tie Fighters 2-3-3-1

The Tie Fighters don't look all impressive with their abilities.

Omega Ace - 7 - It's a little hard to make out, but it's spend a focus AND a TL to change all dice to Critical Hits. Not we don't know what all will come with the new upgrade icon so maybe there is a new weapon that will help, but getting two Critical Hits doesn't seem that great to me until the late game against big butt ships.

Epsilon Leader - 6 - At the start of the Combat phase, remove 1 stress token from each friendly ship at range 1. This could be very good, if this is indeed an addition to the Imperial ranks or as some have said it might be a new faction all together. If it's an addition to the Imperials, this will make the Tie Defenders really good as their biggest issue is stress. Notice they didn't leave the EPT, I think because they knew some people would put the remove a stress EPT card as well, removing 2 stress a turn would have been awesome.

Zeta Ace - 5 - When performing Barrel Roll use the 2 straight instead of the 1 straight. Echo light basically. More arc dodge.

Onto the X-wings...

Poe Dameron (SP? I think??) - 8 - When attacking or defending if you have a Focus token change 1 of your eyeball results to Hit or Evade result

Blue Act - 5 - When performing a boost action you may use the 1 Turn template (left or right respectfully).

The "generic" fighters from both factions have a EPT at the higher levels, which are both level 4 pilots. I find that interesting that they do this, while I do prefer my "named" pilots to have the EPT it is nice that you can put them on "generic aces" of a faction.

It will be interesting to see what else this "leaked" core set will have. While I'm not looking forward to them saying that these two factions will be "new factions", I would prefer them to be in additions to the current factions, but could see them going either way.

Hmm... the faction symbols on the cards are different. Rebels only slightly, but the Empire ones are a big change. Makes me think they will indeed be new factions.

I am confident that the new stuff can be used with the Rebel and Imperial factions for the foreseeable future. Once more ships are out, they may cut them apart, but for now, I am betting on using them with the current stuff.

And that looks to be an astromech icon on the T-70. Good times are coming.

Yes it's astromech, torpedo, and new icon

Yeah, just a bit of a surprise. I was thinking the new upgrade was the new Astromech, sort of like Salvaged Astromechs for Scum. Really liking the new ships. Can't wait to see the upgrades and the individual packs.

New pics confirm that FO and Empire, and resistance and rebellion are the same faction. Last of the starter cards shown too. Looks like new cards for the damage deck too.

No 1 straight on the FO TIE, although i am loving the 2 Sloops.

Barrel Rolls on old Xwings too with that droid.

Whoa, crazy new maneuver on the T70 dial. Hard 3 and then turn around? Apparently its a Tallon Roll.

Yuck. New mechanics to complicate things.

TALLON ROLL!!!!!!! (loved that card in the CCG)

Damn, the FO's dial is nuts. 2 s-loop? Crazy. And it still has the one turns. Man, it is going to be a fun ship to fly.

And the T-70's dial is also crazy . I'm loving the Tallon Roll. Better than a K-turn/S-loop for the turns. It's going to be a fun ship to fly.

The new upgrades are neat. The Weapons Guidance gives an additional option for focus, which is already pretty versatile. I do like BB-8. Free Barrel Roll is fun, and it can be pretty key to preventing a collision. Barrel Rolling B-wings also sounds fun. R5-X3 is nice for when you are going to land on an asteroid. Wired is really nice for 1 pt, especially with all the stressing options out there now.

Not to thrilled with a new damage deck. We will see how tournaments go. Though those new crits are pretty annoying.

This is pretty nuts with the dials. I am REALLY glad they didn't make them a new faction all on their own.

Not sure I'm happy with the Tallon Roll on the Xwings, they are turning out to be just as nimble as Tie Fighters, maybe I'm wrong.

I do like the upgrades, will want to see the "wired" hopefully in more expansions down the line so you don't need to get multiple core sets.

I'd be okay with the damage deck having those new cries if it took out direct hits, can't tell you how many times a two hull ship was taken out by one of those even when it still has shields.

This album has the full damage deck.

Direct Hits remain, and in the same quantity. Though, there are interesting changes.

The T-70 dial is just the X-wing's with a green 3 straight and the Tallon Roll. The lack of the 1 turn will keep it from being as nimble as a TIE.

This makes me very curious about the 2 other Xwing Skus and if they'll have any more copies of Wired.

They better have a standalone T70, I don't want to have to buy more than 2 core sets.

I think standalone T-70 and TIE/FO are pretty much guarenteed. I think we will see Wired and Weapons Guidance again.

That's what the general consensus is.
