Best purchase ?

By teeg123456, in X-Wing

The dial upgrade kits. Being able to immediately see the entire dial made the game have a much lower threshold to teach.

YV-666. I love the ship and it comes with some great cards. Definitely one of my most-used ships in my collection.

Second would be Most Wanted just due to the variance and change it brought.

Bang for your buck: TIE/fo expansion pack. You get the meta staple of Omega Leader + Juke + Comm relay right out of the box.

Fun to Play: Rebel Aces. Jake Farrel and Keyan Farlander are absolutely the best.

Best for Winning: Imperial Aces. That box and a core set alone will win you games (plus another TIE Defender).

Love my ARCs. Just got to Xwing this year. Have every Rebel ship released thus far (including epic) with one exception being the K-Wing.

Have a few Imperials and no scum.

Just love my ARCs. They aren't the best ship ever, they don't dodge well, have almost nothing on green dice, no generic pilot to swarm, pretty slow and predictable. Even cannon would have given a crew plus the tail gunner. But I love chewing up some TIEs with those things.

My first, the YT-2400.

Cheapest selfsustained expansion Tie/FO

Gives you OL with standard upgrades

Imperial Veterans us great as well

My second K Wing. I bought it so I could have 4 TLTs, but I never actually ran a 4 TLT list. But those things work really well in pairs.

My Favorite: K-wing

Regen Miranda is a great late game finisher and a Bomber Warden is a great disruption ship.

Imperial Aces. Interceptors are my favourite ship, and getting two of them with all those shinies was awesome.

That's why I got six of them or so.

Can't help it, gotta say Core game (old, red one).

EDIT: Whoops, misread. Gameplay-wise: Inquisitor's TIE. I'd have said TIE/FO, but Adv. Prototype is just so much more fun for the enemy to play against and makes for an overall better game experience.

For the ship/pilots: Shadow Caster which is hands down my new favorite ship

For the upgrade cards: Mist Hunter which gave us Adaptability, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, Cloaking Device, and the introduction to my favorite token to give to my opponent, the tractor beam token.

A big pile of second hand ships. Kept 30 and sold on the other 25.

5 Kihraxz ($3 each! Shipping cost the same again, though.) Because they are fun in a swarm.

Otherwise, almost all of the expansions are worth buying - pick the ones that appeal to you and you'll enjoy them. The ones that don't appeal won't feel worth it.

Best purchase was HotR because Falcon!

Most fun playing: Protectorate (Rau, Teroch and Talonbane Cobra)

Most played: Palob

Disclaimer: I haven't gotten to play my Imperial Veterans or JumpMaster yet.

Ghost! For sabine crew and sabine shuttle!

Does anyone think any ships from this latest wave will become best ships - or is nothing singing loud enough just yet ?

As a new player that has been exclusively empire builds, it's weird to say it, but the starviper has been my best purchase. Getting 2 auto thrusters and an accuracy corrector... Palp and the interceptors are unstoppable now

Call me old-fashioned, if you wish, but none of them are out in my country yet so really wouldn't count any of them as my best purchases... (hint: thread title).

Sorry, you're right - I should have included a disclaimer that I didn't want to make a new thread and was thinking towards the future possibilities to be added to this thread.

My best purchase has to be the Core TFA set, since that's what is getting me into the game. I've not yet had chance to try out everything I've picked up, so that will definitely change soon enough.

I go with the jumpmaster, never been into torp scouts, but mindlink lists are amazing and scum aces work thanks to Manaroo.

Rebel Transport

Wes Janson, Tarn Mison, R4-D6, R3-A2, R5-P9. Hobbie and Porkins not so much, but if you've just started out or you're Rebel-inclined it's not a bad second or third purchase. R2-D2 and Biggs from the Core, maybe a K-Wing or ARC. That's a very good Rebel pool of cards and upgrades. If you look around it can be bought fairly cheaply. I think once the T-65s get a fix it'll see favour again and this pack will shine.

Mist Hunter also a very underrated expansion.

The Autothrusters expansion! It even comes with a decorative Starviper ship...

nothing wrong with Xizor

mindlink makes everything viable

Decimator was my first love, but the shadowcaster is my mistress.

I'm loving the Ghost that I got for Christmas. Between dorsal turret and the crew, the thing is a hoot.

So, that would be the Ghost of Christmas Present?

I think I love you.
