What ships are you ok with not having?

Those from Star Trek Attack Wings.

I don't play tournaments and mostly only against people for which I provide ships anyway, so I have no need to be über competitive.

My EU knowledge is also limited to the fabled simulator games, so any ships that aren't in any of the movies nor in any of those mentioned games feel generic to me. I might ask for those as b-day/xmas presents, because of usefull upgrades, but I'd probably not buy them myself.

After buying some collections I already have most ships I wanted (some aren't released yet, like Gunboat...., assault transport/shuttle etc) and I want to be able to field big epic battles so I probably save my money for some epic ships, because of the high coolness factor, meaning:

- almost all scum ships (except Most Wanted) are very low priority even though some would have been a high priority if being competitive was important to me.

- most new ships are based upon a part of EU I know nothing about, so again low priority.

Ships that do have some priority:
- Most Wanted pack (alt ship colours, usefull upgrades and it allows me to field some 3 player skirmishes)

- YT-2400 (memories)
- new core set (new movie-stuff)

- new X-wing Tie/fo expansion (new movie-stuff)

- Rebel Transport (epic & memories)

- Imperial Raider (it looks cool, has usefull upgrades/crew Tie advanced cards and epic imps need big ships)
- any EU-ship I know that hasn't been released yet (gunboat, missile boat, assault transports/shuttles)

- any future ship release that is based on a ship from the new movies.

- a 2nd 'Most Wanted'

I don't have the Tantive or any Aggressors. I like brobots, but I don't want to play the list so bad that I wan't to pay for two of the ugliest ship in the game. Ghost could be another ship I pass on depending on the cards. I almost never play Rebels. I might also give the t-70 a pass.

I will get at least 1 of each of the upcoming ships and, as you can see in my signature, I own several of each released so far (except the Huge ships). Mostly, it's to have more options when list building, but also of course for the upgrade cards or to provide for my friends who don't own the game.

For Wave 8 my plans have changed a bit though, mainly because of the tournament MOV rule change. I probably won't get more than 1 of each Large ships anymore. I'm really looking forward to the Ghost and Punishing One the most. I will probably get 2 each of the T-70 and TIE/fo.

As for the ships I could do without, I'd say the Scyk. I own 3 but I've played 1 once only... and I have yet to see them used effectively.

DAT One:

Don't like it much...

Until Wave VII, I was following a strict 2-ships minimum for small-based ships, and 1 of each large.

So far, I haven't bought any Wave VII, mostly because the only ship that isn't completely silly looking is the Kihraxz.

However, for useful upgrades and also for completeness sake, I will likely get one each of Wave VII.

I have the Tantive IV because... CR-90! Even if I never play Epic scale, it's a 13 inch long, completely assembled and painted model of my favorite ship that looks much better than anything I could do.

Of course, I also have the Rebel Transport just for completeness, and will likely get the Raider soon for the same reason.

As for Wave VIII? I'm sure I'll eventually get one of each of those as well.

The coralskipper.

I've gotten by without purchasing the Y-wing, A-wing, K-wing, Decimator, Tantive, Rebel Transport, or Raider. The latter two I'll probably purchase at some point.

If I had known Lone Wolf came with Hound's Tooth, I probably would have skipped the YT-2400 as well.

Not much of a Rebel or Turret player.

I can probably do without the new single tie expansion. I was surprised how few cards it comes with.

Yea but those cards are absolute gold. Omega Leader, Comms Relay, & Juke is already the perfect combo.

I'm ok without hounds tooth, the raider, and the punisher for now...although I'm sure I'll get the punisher eventually. Right now I just don't want to buy 3 more Kihraxz for 3 more crackshots

Better topic: which ship are you okay with only buying one:

A: Tie Bomber

Ships I haven't bought yet:

Lambda: It was sold out the last time I made an order for X-Wing.

All huge ships, Wave 7, Force Awakens Core Set, Wave 8 preorder: lack of funds due to taking time off to heal.

I've deftly avoided the YT-1300 and VT-49 plague in Wave 5; never going to waste money of those terrible bits of game design (only slightly regret never having used Oicuun; he's the man )

and Imperial Aces, because holy ******* green dice, batman (Carnor being the only real draw for me)

Havn't dropped money on the Hounds Tooth yet, but miss Razzi is very appealing

Got 3 bombers, though, hurray for Store Credit prizes

E-wing. Just too ugly. Unless a gift, or massive discount i have no interest.

Also, i only every buy one of each release - as the aces pack and Assault Transport (Gozanti) prove that I will get my duplicates.

Epics.

I like symmetry so I own 2 or four of most small ships. Only doubled down on Aggessors and Firesprays for large ships.

The only concern I have right now is with the T-70 blister coming out. I really want the Integrated Astromech and Targeting Astromech BUT I fully expect an Aces pack with a black/orange alternate paint scheme someday. Will probably buy 2 blisters and deal with an odd number of T-70's in the case for the time being but it's gonna make my brain itch...

For one ship... generally large and huge ships I only buy one of.

Despite this I own two decimators, and would like another GR75 or two, will get two Gozantis and could do with another couple of shuttles.

The M3-A Interceptor. Scum has the Z95 already taking this price point and doing more with it.

Unless a killer Flechette Cannon list develops...

Still don't have, and no plans to buy: Syck, Star Viper, Hounds Tooth, Firespray, Mist Hunter, Punishing One, TFA Core Set, or T-70.

TIE/FO, T-70 X-Wing and Inquisitor TIE.. for now.. there is not really any cards to use with SaV at my knowledge. I still have to buy that Ghost, I'm quite sure that it has many rebel only crew members but it's frigging cool ship! And I just sold my Imperial fleet to a friend and I have only Rebels and SaV.

Better topic: which ship are you okay with only buying one:

A: Tie Bomber

I would say the opposite, a single Bomber somewhat sucks, but they become fun in packs of 4. When I had one Bomber I never used it, After I got the other 3 they quickly became one of my favourite ships. It is quite the investment, but if you are aware that you are spending money to have fun, not to be competetive, I can't recommend it enough.

I'd say either 3+ Bombers or none at all.

I agree that I love my 4 Tie Bomber list. It's my favorite one to play.

Ships that I haven't bought yet?

-Tie Phantom

-Houndstooth

-Rebel Transport (have the cards, though)

Now, what about ships I regret buying? Not recalling what upgrades they come with, I'm thinking of just the ships I never fly:

-Falcon

-YT-2400

-VT-49

-Tie Punisher

-K-wing

-both IG-88's

For those that have never flown Epic, I highly recommend it. Oh, not competitive. Not...let me build an Epic list to punch someone's face. Just play a scenario of Epic that is a balanced game. It's a lot of fun. I am happy with my Epic ship purchases.

I've also enjoyed my Scyks. Not the most effective, but not as bad as everyone thinks. Starvipers are excellent ships, though. I am still surprised to see people bag them.

surprised you don't fly the Punisher, chadwick

it's like a big bro bomber

give this a shot, it's a lot of fun and full of shenanigans :

Deathrain

-ACC corrector

-Seismics

-Conners

-Extra Munitions

[37]

will be running around with 3 Tempests with ACC corrector because **** ever having to roll dice

Yeah......it just looks like an expensive Bomber that can't move as well. I don't see a reason to take it as opposed to regular Bombers.

I probably should try it out more, but I just haven't been able to get the time in to really mess with things. There are many different things I haven't tried yet. I still haven't used any ship from Wave 7 yet.

My ankle surgery kept me from really doing much with the Raider so far. I think I'd rather play games with that before the Tie Punisher. Then again.....the local scene has slowed down since Fallout 4 came out and Battlefront is coming out today.
