Its been a while. Another what do I buy next thread

By Eyegor, in X-Wing

Currently own only 2 Core sets; 1 red, 1 blue.

VERY limited budget. Definitely only enough for 1 expansion (if that, depending.)

Please help me choose my next single expansion.

T-70 Builds on what I already own + IA and I like Red Ace

Tie/FO " " + OL + Juke + Comms

T-65 " " + Wedge

Tie/ln " " + Howlrunner

Y-wing Tanky ordnance boat + starts a collection that will help with Scum

I don't think I'm ready to fly large ships quite yet. Likewise TIE interceptors. Need more practice first. Not sure why but Rebel Aces doesn't really interest me. I'm really looking forward to HotR when it comes out but need to scratch the plasticrack addiction before then. Most Wanted is also on my short list but not yet.

Thanks everyone.

Edit: For those that have already posted suggestions, Thanks again. I added why I was considering each ship.

Hmmm...the tie/fo is where I would go.if the goal is to build a squad.

If you just play casually now and then...get a rebel ship of any kind just to add some variety.

K-wing or b wing or something.

I wouldn't be able to deal with the asymmetry. I'd have to save up for a T-70 and TIE/fo. I couldn't buy one without the other.

Thats a hard one... There are so many good options.

Personally I think the most fun can be had with a Phantom. They do some pretty unique things and are a complete bucket of fun to play with and against. You won't have the cards to flesh out a fully competitive Phantom for tournament play without a few other ships in your hanger, but for keeping it casual it is a lot of fun.

For Rebels... for me its a real hard toss up between T65, T70, and E-wing. I'm assuming that if you have no interest in the Reb Aces pack the B and A are not on the top of your list right now. The unique pilots in the T65 pack are more worth while than the T70 (wedge vs ello), but both are an incredible amount of fun and I really like using both of those pilots a lot. The Y wing is a great little tank, but unless you get a K-wing you may find it a bit limiting. Out of what you listed, I think I would take the T-70 just for Integrated Astromech and because of Ello. Ello and Poe flying together can do a lot of damage.

Going back to ships not on your list, the E-Wing would be top of my list. It's a ton of fun to fly, and Corran is a beast. You will have most of what you need to have a lot of fun with him.

Corran Horn (35)

Outmaneuver (3)
Advanced Sensors (3)
R2-D2 (4)
Total: 45

I'd say TIE/fo and then T-70. Both packs will enhance the ships you have now and include a number of good pilots and solid upgrade cards as well.

The TIE/ln is also worth considering since Howlrunner really pairs well with the TIEs you already have.

The T-65 and Y-Wing expansions are a bit dated at this point and really rely on other expansions to round out the ships.

Defenders.

tie/fo has, by far, the most "viable" things out of all listed expacs

Omega Leader comes top tier competitive just with juke and relay (which come in the box!)

Zeta Leader is also very solid, preferably with crackshot but wired + weapon guidance slot in just fine too

Have you got a TAP?

Yep, the ideas above are solid; the E-wing and TIE Expansion (original and FA) are the best single shot upgrades out there by far.

Thanks everyone. With the exception of the E-wing (which I hadn't been considering), you guys confirm my thoughts as well. It was most likely going to come down to T-70 or FO. Hadn't really thought of the TAP either so something else to consider. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it turns out.

I would get the Tie/Fo first and then another T70 for your next expansion. The reasaon for this is Red Ace (the best pilot in the T70 pack) really needs the Comms relay from the Tie/Fo pack to work best. The Tie/Fo pack works just fine on its own and is one of the best self-contained expansions.

The FOs will last longer than the X's simply by virtue of sexy dial and omega L being able to 1v1 basically anything in the game

X's are tragically squishy

One Kwing (self contained) or tie FO

This is the only advice I have today
