What ships are you okay with not buying?

By Chief Hugh, in X-Wing

I just have 0 desire to buy the Tie Defender and the Tie Punisher.

I am also not really sold on the ig-2000... it just doesnt fit my play style (but if I get them on the cheap I'd be glad to have them in my collection for friends to play with)

Just curious, but why not the Tie Defender? I really like the ship.

It really needs building around to make it work, and it's not always fun to fly lists where the entire cornerstone of your plan rests on one ship.

I honestly don't like the way it looks and just kind of seems like a point sink in a list more than anyhing else.

I'll probably get one of everything eventually.

Most wanted is lowest on my list though. I already own the models in rebel trim. I print my lists the vast majority of time I play so no need for the cards. Basically its new paint on ship I own plenty of already. Wish they had done uglies in that box.

The further they have to dig into the EU the less it becomes a must have ship for me. For epic I have a cr90 and transport. Both screen used ships. Not sure I'll buy any of the imperial epic ships. The raider isn't in anything I think. The carrier was in Rebels, but meh. I would have been more interested in the version that was in ep1 without the carrier mod.

With the FO's out there now, you don't need to build a list purely on the Defender. I've been playing a great list with Col. Vessery, Maarek Stele, and 2 Epsilon FO's that has been a lot of fun (and effective). People usually target either Col V or Maarek out first, but the rest can usually carry the list. You can also swap out Maarek for Vader, too.

That's fine. I was just curious. People not liking how something looks is something that numerous people feel and the game is about whatever floats your boat. I've had fun with it and find it more than a point sink, but if you don't like the look of it, then np.

TIE Interceptors...


... What? I already have 8, why would I want to buy more? ;)

You can field up to 12 in epic, and you should totaly do that!

Consider my previous post both invalid and recanted.

More squints it is! :lol:

That's 6 Starvipers you need in total for that though...

I've basically promised myself I won't buy any non-Rebel ships until I get every Rebel small and large ship.

Now that I've nabbed every Rebel ship but the YT-2400, it looks like I might start going Scum.

I had to be selective. By now I do not know if the list of what I do own isn´t shorter than what I don´t :)

Let´s give it a go:

I own:

2 X-wings (core and expansion)

2 B-wings (expansion and 1/2 rebel aces)

1 HWK-290

1 YT-1300

2 Y-wings (1 expansion+1 most wanted)

2 Z95´s (most wanted)

1 Star Viper

1 Firespray

3 TIE fighters (core+expansion)

3 TIE interceptors (expansion + imperial aces)

2 TIE Bombers (the only expansion I bought twice)

1 TIE Advanced

1 TIE Phantom

Totalling my collection at 22. I would like another T-65 X-wing. Either the one from the Epic transport (but I don´t use the transport so buying the complete set is somewhat expensive for an X-wing) or a nice to-be aces pack (didn´t I mention a Corsec Green X-wing with Corran and Whistler in about 100 earlier posts, no? Really? :wub:;) )

I dont´t have any Epic ships or their accompanying fighters.

Nor do I have:

A-wings (the other half of rebel aces went to a friend, she wanted 4)

E-wing

K-wing

YT-2400

Ghost+Attack shuttle

Scyk

Kyrhaxz

Mist Hunter

Punishing One

Inquisitors TIE Advanced

TIE Defender

TIE Punisher

I will expand my collection a little, but I am very selective. I have enough to have a game. And also enough to have a ballanced game. Mind you, the group I play in most does allow for proxying cards, though I like to use what I have, without it feeling a limitation to the possibilities ;)

I have multiples of almost any ship in the game, but there's one I don't own even in singl copy: the decimator :rolleyes:

The only ships I do not own right now are the Tantivine and the Imp raider, but I consider this to only be a temporary situation. I enjoy playing strange lists and custom painting. I'll often builds lists just to be able to play a custom painted ship. I want a 2nd hawk just to repaint it, but then I'll need to play a 2 hawk (scum) list just because I have them :D.

Outside of the M3 Interceptor and Starviper, I don't have any interest in the S&V-only ships. Just don't care much for the faction. And I can't see myself buying a YT-2400 because 1) it's ugly as hell, and, 2) I'm no fan of Dash.

I'm buying one of everything till the only things left are the Scyk and Kirhaxz. Then I guess i gotta buy them. But at that point I might buy an extra Defender and some extra bombers cause those are my favs and they deserve to have multiples like the Fighters, squints and even then X1 and /fo.

Honestly I'm going to go light on wave 8 for a while, picking up up only 2 T-70's and a TIE/FO on release, and probably the Gozanti.

Since I have a near complete set of every ship for 100 points, I have so many builds I want to try and so many builds that I've flown a few times and want to try out more, like Quint Autothruster Squints.

In a word, none. The only one I do not have is the Syck and I will remedy that next Monday at my FLGS.

What I really need is more of those small card sleeves for upgrade cards. Those are like unicorns right now.

Indeed. I snagged a dozen at Worlds because the only place they seemed to be in stock was in FFG's physical store.

Hmmmmmmm. Maybe when the wife wants to go to the Mall of America I can make a pilgrimage to the FFG store. It is only about 3-4 hours away...
