Fantasy Flight didn't release a brand new core set just to tell people that they can't use these ships in normal tournaments, that would be dumb as hell.

I don't know what the fuss is about, it's not like people were really using regular X-Wings in tournaments to begin with so I'm not sure what the problem is, the T70 isn't obsoleting a bunch of cherished squads or anything. Plus Red Squad Vets may be a better pick then generic Red Squad Pilots but when it comes to named pilots there are plenty of named T65 pilots whose abilities are plenty good and who likely aren't going to be entirely supplanted by the T70. I'm expecting a brief uproar followed by people going back to their Falcon + 3Z and dual Aggressor lists.
