Hey guys,
About to put my preorders in for the next wave. How many of each expansion pack should be purchased to in order to not worry about not having enough for fleet builds and upgrade cards?
How many of each expansion to buy of new Wave
If you're referring to Wave 5, I would wait for everything to be spoiled before dumping money. Based on what we do know, I would do one of each ship, and two of each squadron pack, and base further purchases on the performance of the above. I wouldn't expect (barring some ridiculousness) that you'd ever need more than two of either ship tops, given the variety of factors that go into listbuilding. That's my assessment at the moment.

In all honesty, buy what you think looks cool, and you won't be disappointed. You really only need to worry about "the meta" if you are playing against "that guy"
I default to 2x everything (if it's within your budget).
Minimum one of each with more based on your fleet needs.

That depends largely on what your personal line for having all the options is. I think it also depends on how you build fleets.
I'd think if you have need to field both Imperial and Rebel fleets you'd need two of everything (depending on overlap between expansions) so that you can outfit each side with at least one of any particular upgrade simultaneously. (Assuming you don't just proxy in such circumstances.)
It also has something to do with the qualities of the ship...
My current plan, and I will wait to see what the ships do beyond that, is as follows:
1x Phoenix Home (as I don't think I would want to run more than one Pelta in a fleet given the main value is the command slot)
2x Arquitens (I can easily see running multiples of these in an Imperial fleet, ergo I'm comfortable getting two right out of the gate)
2x of each squadron (so that I have options to take plenty of them for either fleet)
If I buy more depends on how they perform and what the exact cards are, but that's my current plan for the reasons explained.
I'll buy 2 of each ship, and 1 of each squadron for now.
1 of each squadron, 1 Pelta and 2 ILCs. But I'm thinking aobut adding another Pelta, it's just too good. Imagine having two of those juicy fleet-wide boons for only the price of 2 Nebs....
