Really getting into xwing but stuck with what to get next. I know what I don't like but that doesn't really narrow it down. Currently I have force awakens core set, falcon and Slave 1. I'm wondering about an original core set mainly for the dice and it is good value for money with the 3 ships included but they seem like there are more interesting ships out their. Such as Soontir, had loads of fun proxing him but it would take 3 expansions to get him ptl and autothursters. Then there are b and a wings their upgrade are spread across their own expansions and rebel aces. Do I pick up aces and upgrade the with individual expanisions if I like then or go the other way.

For context by wishlist...

Rebels: Awing, Bwing, Rebel aces, hwk, ywing, yt2400

Scum: Most wanted, mist hunter, star viper, kihaxz, m3a

Imps: Tie interceptor, shuttle, phantom, tie advanced proto, tie advanced, imp vet aces, decimator, Imp aces.

Suggested order? Obviously can't get them all at once.

I'd get original core set, then aces (rebel & imperial), then most wanted. After that, add to taste.

Agreed. Maybe even the 2 Aces sets before the core, either way.

Defenders.

If you're playing casual just proxy the cards. Hell, I don't even use cards, I just play off of the printout of my list. Also, if you aren't playing competitive then don't worry about what's strong or weak, buy your favorite ships and proxy whatever upgrades you need. There are no "unplayable" casual ships.

Edit: also Defenders, Defenders are awesome

Buy what you like and have fun with it, as you get better at the game you'll know what to buy next. Everyone has different taste... I favor Imperial ships and favor arc dodging... Still it's fun to throw out Scum and mix it up.. Other's will have different taste... I would suggest not buying to many duplicates to begin with. Aces are a fact and here to stay,so allow more ships that way. Good luck and enjoy

IMPERIAL:

Assuming you want to start by flying Soontir Fel, you'll need a TIE Interceptor for Soontir himself, Imperial Aces for PTL and Royal Guard TIE, and a Starviper for Autothrusters. The TAP and Phantom are pretty good straight from the box, but the Phantom is tough to fly for a beginner. If you're wanting to fly Emperor Palpatine on the shuttle, you'll need a Raider, which would also provide cards to improve the TIE Advanced.

REBEL:

For A-Wings and B-Wings, I think it would be better to get the Ace pack first, but you will definitely want to get the individual ships at some point. I really like Y-Wings, especially with the title from Most Wanted and Engine Upgrade. If you like arc-dodging, you'll have a lot of fun with Dash Rendar.

SCUM:

You'll definitely want to get Most Wanted because it enables the Scum faction to use Y-Wings, Z-95s, HWK-290s, and FIresprays. The Kihraxz is a lot like an X-Wing, which can be good or bad.

I would strongly disagree with this..

I'm sorry, but what, exactly are you disagreeing with?

I liked most of what you said... I just disagree with the proxy word. I gave up 40k because of proxy players.. Well that and increased build costs. We just disagree on the proxy end of things. I tend to want to show support for the games I like...

X-Wing is a daunting game to get into because of how spread out all the cards are. Like OP said, if he wants to fly the standard Fel build he needs to buy two small and one large expansion. There is nothing wrong with using proxy cards in friendly games.

Thanks guys. Personally I don't mind proxing while I practise at home. But I'd need real thing to play at my local shop. Having said that I don't really want to buy just for cards. Eg, I hear TLT is good on ywings but I don't like the look of the kwings, I'm not going to buy one just for that card. I'm also not sold on the look of the defenders and huge ships are out of my price range.

I can only maybe get away with two small ships or one big expansion at a time, so aces, interceptor and starviper all at once would be impossible. Particularly when I can't use starviper without most wanted, although I do love it.

Maybe I will get the rebel and imperial aces first. Upgrade with individual b/a wings and soontir later. Maybe aim to get most wanted soon too so I can get a mist hunter I do think that ships pretty cool, although I feel I'd need a hwk to make themost out of mostwanted.

still divided on the core set I need the extra die and i'd like the ships, plus its cheaper than buying it all separately just seems likethe boring option.
