As each wave releases my initial reaction is to buy 5 of each small ship. Then I calm down and realize there will be other ships in my fleet. I think I've settles on 3 of each being a nice # for the small ships. This gives me a good amount of duplicate upgrades and allows enough strategic options for my tastes.
I Quit...
I also have 5 ISDs, but until I can reenact the battle of Endor, I just don't have enough.
I have 3 Liberties... because. Some day I'm going to run my triple Liberty list.
I have 3 Imperial Star Destroyers, one from Sullust and 2 purchased after.
I regret nothing.
I bought 5 Arquitens and then WON a 6th. Returned one though, since I doubt I'd ever seriously fly 6.

Nobody likes a quitter, Crabbok!
Nothing too extreme but 2 MC80s that aren't as useful as multiple of others.
I've flown the 2 of them once but not again....no too wasted though as painted them both up.

What ship/squadron pack did you buy lots of that you don't need that many of?

I think this is the right number, mostly because triple ISD is super fun to run in CC.
Well, I only own 2 Peltas so far...but is 4 too many? I feel like I need 4.
I don't have more than three of any expansion:
3 Gozantis
3 Raiders
3 Gladiators
3 imperial Squadrons I
3 Arquitens cruisers
2 ISDs
2 VSDs (and the third one from the Core)
1 Interdictor
1 Imperial Squadrons II
1 Rogues & Villains (and the Rebel villains were sold to slavers.)
I own 5 arquitens.....
I cant pass up an on sale isd. I think i am at... 6 now?
I do know that the only ship i own more of than isds is cr90s, i am 8 there. However unlike the isds i liked cr90bs with sw7s swarming around back in tbe day so they got used.
I would have had Seven Victory Star Destroyers, but gave one I received away to a friend. Still, 6. Only one still retains the antenna.
I bought two cores. Then decided I wanted Motti, so bought a VSD. Only used them all once. Expensive bricks.
But on the plus side, I seem to have wasted a whole lot less than a lot of you :')
I quit buying raiders, after I bought one. That ship sucks! On the other hand I am in love with the CR90 Corvette, and have stopped at 5.
I had the idea of a 5 Nebulon Mon Mothma list as a counter to Ackbar when he first came out. The double braces, better evades and immunity to the popular XI7 was going to win me so many games.
Tuns out when you have 5 Nebs in a phalanx formation the enemy can always see at least one weak flank and you can't easily manoeuvre.
The list slowly morphed into 4 with more fighters, then just salvation & Yavaris then finally Yavaris, Independence, Tantive with B-Wings a plenty.

I always laugh when I see someone saying the Raider isn't good. I see it so regularly, and yet it couldn't be further from the truth.

It's a cheap way to end up with APTs if you got nothing else to put there
Raider I is flexible as an APT carrier for sure, but ACM can be horrifyingly effective against large ships too (I've done some terrible things to ISDs with a pair of ACM Raiders...). It's also the daddy of flak, with OE and Flechettes, not to mention the titles and Kallus.
Raider II shouldn't be discounted either. I used to have a ball running one with Overload Pulse alongside a couple of APT Raiders and an Avenger ISD under Screed. The look of horror on your opponents face after the OP pops the defence tokens of your target is only made sweeter when they realise the Avenger hasn't fired yet. And with Sloane coming out soon, that Raider has been back on my mind again...

Don't forget now you can use that raider II to OP at long range!

Those Flight Controllers are expensive.

I always called that build a Sniper Raider for what it did. Now it's literally a sniper. Glorious.

I currently own 4 Raiders and that's probably where I'm going to stay. Probably. I regret nothing, Raiders are great.
At one point I owned six Gozantis and four VSDs. The Gozantis for silly Tarkin flotilla spam fleets for funsies. Turned out it wasn't actually much fun (for me or the other guy), so two of them got sold off. The VSDs because they just kind of piled up over time. I did use all 4 once in a 500 point game with Jerry and it was all right, but four is at least one too many and so I sold down to three.

I'd actually counter that Mon Mothma MC30s are superior against squadrons ( @GhostOfArdaedhel can tell you/us more if he wishes), she has more synergy with the titles, and is maddening when you also add in Lando on one of her MC30s. I've been really impressed at how well they go with her when you add in the full MC30 shenanigans suite, basically. Rieekan is definitely legit with them when you're going light on shenanigans, though.

I'm going to echo @NakedDex and say that people often misunderstand the Raider's intended use and fly it recklessly straight into death. It's actually a really good ship, but the learning curve is high. I wrote a big article about it that I'd recommend reading if you'd like to get better-acquainted. With External Racks and (to an extent) Disposable Capacitors coming out soon, the future for the Raider is getting even brighter.
