What ships are you okay with not buying?

By Chief Hugh, in X-Wing

I'm collecting as well as playing the game so I get at least 1 of each. But I think the M3-A is the one ship nobody needs... until they include a fix in the Jabba's Yatch ecpansion. ;)

But I really want 3 more to run 5 Mangler Scyks. But yeah, I'll wait for Jabba's Star Jewel before buying any more.

Five?! Sweet.

As an aisde, I'm contemplating dual Black Sun Aces, Mangler Tansarri Vet and Laetin A'Shera as my next list. One less ship, quite a bit of customisation

A much better question.

I might slowly get the ones I have yet to get in wave7. Hounds tooth, IGs, one K maybe. But they're kind of low on the want list.

I'm for sure not getting any more OP rebel large ships. =P Honestly, I had no fun with the Falcon I bought. Dash... well. Its okay, but really annoying. Why do rebels like to be so annoying?

Let's see what the G-1a and Punishing One do. But I doubt I'm going to want a crescent pancake either.

Im ok with not buying my 15th T-65 X Wing.

If you want to max options and want to keep things cheap look at the upgrade cards in sets and where they overlap.

If you want an accuracy corrector you can buy a star viper or an I.G.2000. Owning one of those two in this case is fine.

Similar with Crack shot and glitter stim. buy a Kihraxz fighter or the hounds tooth, you won't need both.

I never bought an IG-2000. I never want to play Brobots, and I haven't got any reason to play Bugzappers or use Dead Man's Switch so it seemed easy to skip over.

I don't have a Decimator either because I'm primarily a Rebel player and I don't like fat turrets.

Interesting! You should post it in the squad lists. I'd love to read more about it!

May sound silly but I am in for 1 single Tie and Tie/FO each. That way I have all the pilots and cards. Jumping in with two core sets was a boon for saving money but I know deep down I won't need more than 3 of each flavor.

Tl;Dr: I wouldn't buy anymore Ties. Especially since so many cool things come with Tie Fighters these days! Probably skip the Tantive and Transport though...

The Punisher and the K-wing. I broke down and got the Kwing for the upgrades though; it sits on my office desk now.

The Ghost because A) money and B) Rebels.

Tantive IV because I have to do without, which is sad. I've got at least one of everything else barring the Outrider, which is something I will correct.

I still haven't bought the outsider. And I have no plans to anytime soon.

I'm responsible for supplying all the X-Wing toys for my gaming group. So, nothing is expendable. I've drawn the line so far at three Imperial Shuttles and three Agressors, but we've already played an epic game where one of the guys had three brobots, so that might have to change.

It's all good, though. One of the other guys has all the Armada stuff, and the other has all the Imperial Assault stuff and runs the campaigns. And the last, well he has a bazillion of the Star Wars miniatures and is running an Edge of the Empire campaign. So the burden is shared by all, even though I have more X-Wing ships than I myself could ever possibly use. And I'll get multiples of every one that comes out, because you never know what hair brained squad some-one is going to want to try next.

None!

I'm in it to own them all, at least til we see ugly Prequel ships, then I'm out! So hopefully we will never see Prequel ships!

Any Epic ship.

The HWK.

Scyk.

Kirhaxz.

Tie Advanced.

And I know some people would burn me at the stake for this, but the Falcon. I don't like the Falcon. Sorry Chewie....

I only bought the YT-1300 for the Engine Upgrades ^_^

Still haven't flown that or my YT-2300.

I also regret buying two M3A Interceptors, but I'll look like a genius when they get a buff (please FFG!)

considering that it's iconic in name only and flies like the laziest goddamn bit of game design I've seen in a long time, you're really not missing anything

the only heresy committed in the thread thus far is everyone who isn't using the amazing and glorious Wave 7 ships

IG-2000

Hound's Tooth

Jumpmaster

M3-A interceptor

Ghost

TIE Advanced prototype

I might end up getting some/all of these eventually, especially if some good sales pop up, but if they never made their way into my collection I would not be heartbroken

I only buy TIEs.

If I need cards that don't come with TIEs, I use eBay. Even though I hate doing it, but I hate buying ships I don't want more.

I started out rather conservatively, then ended up thinking I'd want two (at least) of every ship to both play and also test-match with at home but didn't see why I'd want any epic ships, then ended up buying at least one of each epic. Many of the fighters that I bought, I haven't actually unboxed yet (and many I regret buying doubles of - like the HWK) and I also haven't actually unboxed any of the epics yet, but, somehow, rather inexplicably, still can't justify this one to myself, I seem to have two Raiders and Corvettes.

When Wave 8 was announced I wasn't watching Rebels so I didn't think I would buy any except the Jumpmaster (I saw the image below somewhere previously and thought the ship looked cool), but now I'm loving Rebels so suspect I will end up getting all of Wave 8 too.

And this is why I don't dare try Armada ;)

Still cheaper than most of my buddy's hobbies, however.

I'm the kind of guy who stresses himself by doing a lot of comparison between ships, the included upgrade cards and factions when it comes to buying an expansion. If I do buy something, I'll limit myself to 1 copy.

Ships I'm okay with not having:

- Orig Core Set (Started with TFA core)

- A-Wing

- X-Wing

- Tie Fighter

- Rebel Aces

- Rebel Transport

- Gozanti

- Tantive IV

- Z-95 (Got 2 from most wanted)

- Tie Defender

- B-Wing

- Tie Bomber

- M3A

- IG2000

- T-70 Exp

- Either Punishing one or Hound's Tooth

Ships in consideration:

- HWK-290 & Y-Wing to complete most wanted

- Mist Hunter

- Ghost

Yes, you can judge from the above that I've just graduated from imperial academy and started flying less than two months ago. There are also some ships that I really don't wanna have but had to buy for the cards Like raider & pancake. I took the cards, sold both models and bought doughnut instead. Yes my list is awfully lacking and my faith towards Chewie & Han in general can be disturbing. But I am satisfied for what I currently own.

I do fine without buying Rebel Scum and Scum ships.

Haven't got an aggressor, probably won't have a mist Hunter.

I guess I technically don't own any rebel ships... But my brother does, and I have access to the cards as desired.

I haven't bought the:

- YT-2400 (Outrider)

- The Scum Range (except the obvious 2 Starvipers and 2 Interceptors)

- Brobots (ugly as ...)

and won't buy the:

- Misthunter

- Dengar-Disc

- Blue box and TFA-Blisters

I also don't think I will buy further stuff, except any upcoming aces boxes that will fix the Defender/Bomber and T-65.

Similar with Crack shot and glitter stim. buy a Kihraxz fighter or the hounds tooth, you won't need both.

Why do you say this? You don't think that there is a decent list that can have both? I like the Kihraxz Fighter for a cheap generic that actually has guns and won't die in one shot. I think it's not a bad thing to put in with a Houndstooth.

I'm also interested to see the various combos of Scum ships once we have some more. I'll be happy to see combos we aren't used to thinking about. So far, everyone seems to find one good thing and spam the hell out of it. If you look at the Worlds top lists, they have All Purpose lists. I think they are a better type of build. That means odd lists we haven't seen before.
