Is FFG a bit stingy with upgrade cards?

By Rolospiker, in X-Wing

Great to see my beloved Tie Bombers getting some much needed buffs. They are looking much more dangerous with lightweight frame and unguided rockets.
I have seen plenty of builds touted. A five bomber swarm looks great. Problem is as well as 5 bombers you need
5 x S/F tie (edit Striker) for lightweight frame
5 x Tie Aggressors for unguided rockets

Anyone else think maybe they are taking the piss just a little bit?

Why not just use the 5 copies of Lighweight Frame that you got with those 5 TIE Aggressors?

You'll be sad when you open those TIE/sfs and find out they don't come with Lightweight Frame.

I think Lightweight Frame comes in the Striker btw....but they are a wee bit stingy on some ?

Title of the post made me think the complaint was a lack of upgrade cards in the new wave, which all have a minimum of 5 each compair to the Protectorate starfighter that only had 2 its an improvement.

But inline with what your really asking, small ship expansion hardly ever come with extra copies of a single card its usually the ships priced at $20-40 that come with extras

Ok sorry.

I failed to notice the lightweight frame was in the Aggressor pack. That's good. I feel better :)
I only need to buy 5 Aggressor's for my bomber squad.
