Minimum suggested purchase for Wave 6

By gundamv, in X-Wing

1x Most WAnted

2x MA-3s

1x Starviper

2x Aggressor

At least that's what im picking up

My exact starting purchase for S&V.

In hindsight, I might have wanted a second Most Wanted and a second StarViper.

Rest assured, more mistakes will be made.

I almost did this purchase. It would have got me free shipping from Miniature Market, but I just didn't need the second Aggressor. Well, I don't "need" any of it, but I couldn't justify the second Aggressor.

If I need another Accuracy Corrector, or another of any of the upgrades I will just hope they are in stock when I order the Imperial Raider.

Oh! You're probably the first futur scum player that I heard is not interested in flying two Aggressors after seeing the preview. Strong-willed this one is.

I'm in. Being really new (a couple of weeks) to the game I went a little nuts. Not too bad, but a little.

2x Most Wanted. Possibly a third if our shop got their order in. - I like generic swarms.

2x Aggressor - I like IG-88.

2x Starvipers - Xixor!

4x M3As - See first point

I have one firespray and 2 HWKs. No Rebel Y's at this time but will order when they restock. Really looking forward to this faction!

4 Most Wanteds

4 Aggressors

Minimum needed for my 7x Feedback Array swarm.

My poor wallet. :(

I hate to put you in further misery, but as far as I can tell you can only get Feedback Array in the Aggressor Pack and it only comes with 1.

surely your not considering buying 7 Aggressors just for one squad build?

edit:

Scratch that, just looked at the promo shot and there's a hidden illicit slot card, most likely a second Array.

Still 4 Aggressors is a lot either way

Love how quickly "what's the minimum" became "what are you getting" somehow in this thread (spoiler: instantly).

Honestly I think Autothrusters is the only hugely competitive new upgrade, everything else is negligible or side grades over existing upgrades and there for aren't required. Feel confident you can just stick with picking up a StarViper and not fall behind.

The Aggressor will be the first Large ship I will have 2 of. The reason for this is that the Pilot Abilities of the different Pilots are meant to be shared, so an obvious 100pt squad would use 2. I felt like I should have gotten 4 for Epic games but I'm less likely to play as many Epic games as I am Standard.

Nope it's just the two in the starviper pack.

Dem StarVipers are gonna sell out FAST.

Yep, for sure. Was wondering whether I should get 1 or 2 StarVipers. Autothrusters are good, but I'm not so sure I want to just build a fleet entirely based on Autothruster Squints. Makes the build too predictable. Plus, Autothrusters are good against turrets but they are not as strong against certain builds (e.g. Phantoms).

Yeah, that's what I plan to get if I decide to play SV. If I don't play SV, then I might just get 1x Most wanted, 1x MA-3, and 1x StarViper like most people are recommending here.

Understood. I personally play it all, though I favor Rebels over Imperials. I'm very excited to try S&V.

Maarek with new TieAdv fix and Calculation is going to be BRUTAL. Like, probably meta competitive.

Yeah, I was thinking something like that plus a couple Autothruster TIE Interceptors.

Personally, I'm thinking:

1x Most Wanted - for the 2nd Y-wing, BTL titles and turrets

1x StarViper - for the Autothrusters and Accuracy Corrector

1x of the others for the Mangler Cannon, maybe the IG-2000 for the accuracy corrector too

As others have said that is a usable fleet right there anyway, so I would probably even pare it down to just the most wanted initially to be budget-conscious. I am most excited at the prospect of Ten Numb + Mangler Cannon so would then prioritise that.

Here is what I am getting ASAP!

:D

Me too - I think it's uggerz. I'm looking forward to Trip Starthrusters and Single Firespray + Y-Wing/HWK Escort.

I'm not sure about that. A PS10 Interceptor (or PS9 depending who gets initiative) is good against a Phantom even without Autothrusters. With Autothrusters they will be even more resilient to those four attack dice while at range 3, which is where they may want to be to cover as wide an arc as possible.
