I wished to have several options for guests (and to be honest, also for myself) when they come over and play X-wing.

I have a small collection of rebels (5 small, 1 large) and Imperial (8 small) and will add the Most Wanted to have a third faction choice. Everything else, we shall see what ffg develops in the future. I do have some wishes left ;-)

To answer the OP: I play all factions and I like you can still be competitive without the need for obtaining large amounts of ships!

Edited: grammar and spelling

At first I bought this game with the intent that I would only play a few matches and that would be it. I jokingly call myself a rogue or a merc for hire and play either side fighting for the highest bidder (whatever I felt like playing) but now I've become so swept up in this game which is amazing because I'm somewhere near thirty matches and (technically) no wins now I'm just trying my best just trying to actually pull off a full win. (I say technically because the match would be cut short with time and by full win i mean sweeping the board and surviving to tell the tale).

Um... Yorr not allowed to. It's in the rule book. Page 117, paragraph 16, sentences 17-21. Since the only side you can play is the empire you have to have your paperwork in order, in triplicate, with both local authorities and the high command to even touch a Scumy ship!

Are you say that to me or to all of us?
