Imperial ships operate in flights of 3. Rebel ships in flights of 2. So I tend to buy 4 Rebel ships and 3 Imperial ships.

Which explains why I have 9 squints.

I will buy 1-3 depending on point cost, $ cost, and what kind of upgrades are in the box.

Probably just one..then proxy my Xg-1 starwing model for it.

Totally impossible to say.

If they are 51 points ill be buying one

until you know the dial, the abilitiies and cost in money and points its pretty short sighted to make a predcition based on 'it looks cool'

That isn't necessarily true for everyone, though. Not everyone buys into this game just to play 100 point squads at a FLGS.

I will buy at least four just because it looks cool. And fit it into a list... maybe?

I don't even play against anyone; exclusively solo. And I know I'm not the only one to buy multiples with no regard to points/cost.

One at first give it some play time and if I like it i'll buy more.

Depending on what everything comes with and point cost.

1 punisher

1 Kwing

1 hounds tooth

2 kz fighter

I think hvy ordinance ships will still cost a lot when they are uograded. ive done well stickin with 2 ships per release and pickig up extra after release of need be.

I wouldn't even hesitate to field as many of those as I could get into a 100-point list.

I'd start playing Epic games so I could get twice the number of them on the board.

That thing is as cool a spaceship as I've ever seen.

The Tie Striker?

Yup. Never seen that thing before, but it looks so aggressive. Really neat design.

Depends on what it comes with, really. I'm starting to warm to it's looks a little, but it's by no means a "must have" on my personal perceived, and super important, "cool factor". It's alright, but the TIE Bomber is one of my all time favorite ships in Star Wars (Y-Wing, TIE Bomber, and The Hound's Tooth... finally I will be complete!) and the Punisher will always look like a weird version of that beloved ship to me.

However, if it comes with upgrades that benefit my beloved Bombers, I'll have to pick at least one of em up. And if I have it, hey, at least it'll sorta match if I fly it in formation with some more classical-styled Bombers.

Heck, could even see myself having a duo flanking Jonus someday, depending on how everything will work with them and the rumored ordnance fix.

And I'll give FFG for calling it the "Punisher", as it reminds me of Frank Castle. Not to mention "Interdictor" just doesn't sound like the name of a craft designed for delivering a bunch of heavy explosive payloads.

I always start by buying two of all ships, with a few exclusions;

The falcon, because like highlander there can be only one

The outrider, because its dash renders ship

The lambda, I just haven't gotten around to another but I really want to try flying 2 or 3 of them

Firespray, simple because until scum I had no need for a second, now I need a second that gets a paint job

I also didn't buy a send HWK till scum, And don't tell me duo hwk lists wont work.....I'LL MAKE IT WORK

The K-Wing was the least interesting to me till I saw a few good pics from Celebration of the miniature now I need two maybe 3

I'm pretty unsure myself. I was planning on buying 2 bombers eventually. But if the Predator is supposed to be some sort of fix for them I might buy two of those in stead. Or I might buy 1 and 1. I'll have to see what's in it.

I will buy 4, and I will hug them, and squeeze them, and pet them, and love them, and call them George, George, George, and......... crap I forgot what I was going to call the last one

I usually like ships in two's or fours.

If points cost allows it would be two or four as i quite like the look of them.

Gonna get two, unless they are 51 or more points each.

I buy as much as you need to fix 4 Tie Bombers.

Let me guess, Caron?

Two Interdictors because I need symmetry and since one would feel lonely and probably start humping its smaller TIE Bomber cousins.

Two K-Wings as well for games against the Raider.

Two Kihraxz because I'm OCD.

And zero Hounds Tooth because I hate it.

I likely won't be purchasing any ships from this wave unless there's an x-wing buff in there.

Fear not FFG, I still plan on purchasing all the Armada wave 2 items, the Imperial Assault expansions, and the Raider.

I may not like the look of any wave 7 ships, but I am absolutely thrilled that FFG has the Star Wars license, and I mean that with the utmost sincerity.

By the way, I'm kind of disappointed that the "ordnance fix" wave doesn't include a royal guard tie bomber. I would have been all over that red paint job like stink on poop.

Well now that image is in my head.

1 or 2, because they look cool IMO

I'm looking at my standard:

3 K-wings

3 Punishers

3 Kihraxz

2 Hound's Tooth (get at least 2 of the BH ships)

Well now that image is in my head.

My work here is done

42

Can't answer this question until we actually know what they do.

Depends on included cards , abilities, and point cost.

I'll probably buy enough to make a TIE "Punishest". Then I'll make a Punisher-themed Punisher Squadron, whose squadron leader used to work for the Imperials as an undercover cop busting Black Sun arms deals until Xizor murdered his entire extended family and wife and child and left him for dead after the shoot him four times and blow up the dock on his family getaway beach home on Corellia. Now he spends his time wandering the Galaxy, punishing those who commit crime, whether they had good intentions, or not.
