Hey all! Finally got approved to post on this forum after a month and a half of waiting and multiple emails back and forth with FFG technical support (they've been having trouble with their Webmaster email so my original inquiries got lost). Anyway, I have been actively viewing this forum on the regular and it's helped me out a lot! Loving the game so far, and the community is amazing. I have also been following the Armada subreddit, and I posted this list there the other day to help someone out. I thought it would be nice to have a post listing all of the universal upgrades that are exclusive to only one Wave 1 expansion. I hope this can help people, especially newer or soon-to-be players, plan which ships they want to purchase
