Choose my ship, vote by noon ET on Saturday the 19th!

By R22, in X-Wing

Miniature Market does free shipping if you break $100. I try to buy ships in proportion to their in-universe numbers (more TIEs than Squints, more X-wings than A-wings). I feel like getting, by that logic: 1 TIE/Phantom, 2 TIE Defender, 2 E-wing, and 3 Z-95. That brings me to $80 though. Shipping will be $20 about so either way I'm spending a $100. Basically I need to get 3 more ships or a 2nd transport. I have decided to get at least one more Z-95 and, for funzies, to ask the forum community to vote on what the third ship will be. Suggestions for the 2nd are welcome but I'm only guaranteeing the 3rd to the communal vote. Voting ends Saturday the 19th at noon ET. Whatever ship gets the most votes will be the third ship! Vote!

(My current collection is in the signature if you'd like to see what I've got. Also, while I am thinking of this new wave, you may vote for the older waves as well. Only rule is no HWK or big ships, I'm really happy with 1 of each. Sorrynotsorry.)

Get another Phantom. Yes they're rare, but they are also the coolest ship in the wave.

I also vote phantom, you can cloak it to think you have only one so your ratios will feel right.

TIE Bomber!

With everyone realizing that the Shuttle doesn't actually suck, but in truth is awesome, if you just give it a little love, (or hate I guess in the case of the Vader upgrade). The TIE Bomber is now the most underrated ship in the range. The Jonus Swarm is awesome. And despite the fact that they have lots of upgrade options (granted it is mostly ordnance) TIE Bombers are not a bad ship flow naked.

And if you want to keep with your own buying philosophy, The TIE Bomber is at least tied with the Interceptor for the 2nd most common ship in the imperial arsenal.

And you don't have very many of them.

I vote E-wing

Phantom, Is my vote. But remember, anything you buy will ship with wave 4, so all other none wave 4 ideas will end in waiting the time (which most likely will be delayed)

Imperial aces.

No collection would be complete without a second Firespray.

My vote is Phantom (release and shipping reasons given above), then Tie Bomber (you just don't have enough), then Firespray (you NEED 2), and YT-1300 (you NEED 2).

You still need 3 x Tie/Ln to field a proper swarm. I'd add one of those. Or another starter so you can get the free X-Wing with the two Tie Fighters...

You shouldn't be happy with only one shuttle. Get another shuttle.

Or, if you insist, get a fifth Z-95 Headhunter. Swarmtastic!

If you are trying to be "proportional" you need more TIE Bombers assuming that is the collection listed in the sig. The Imperial OOB calls for a wing to be made up of 4 Fighter squadrons and 1 Bomber and 1 Interceptor squadrons; this says you should have as many Bombers as you do Interceptors. I'm also thinking that if you run "Bombers" you need three if they are to be the base of a squadron instead of something you just throw in.

It's too bad this is being presented as an unreasoned vote. My "Vote" is for a Bomber although you could use more TIE Fighters (which should outnumber all of your other ships combined). If I were picking from Wave 4 I would say a Phantom simply because you have one listed but when nothing else will come close to flying like it I'll say you should have two.

A second Phantom is my vote, as well.

Alternately, you should buy a second Advanced while they're plentiful. Get ahead of the market!

I think a box of Imperial Aces, on your signature its seems that you don't have Royal Guard. :)

1-2 moreTie Fighter is what I think you really need. You currently can't do a proper Tie Swarm with only 5 of them.
