By clanofwolves, in X-Wing

Limit two, but it is the best ship complete out of the pack; great gift for a newbie:

Is good, but Protectorate is best out of the box, only using the box, IMO. Thanks for sharing. I guess I have to buy something now

The /fo contains Omega Leader, Comms Relay, and Juke. It's literally a build in a box that remains solid today. I feel like that can't be beaten for value.

Also wooooooooooow $10? I know it's a sale, but the /fo runs for €18.50 (almost $22) here.

Protectorate Box

Fenn Rau, Fearlessness, Concord Dawn Protector

thats pretty stout.

Yeah but you want autothrusters on fen right?

Without autothrusters, Fenn is very, very vulnerable to the plethora of build that have turrets at the moment. Whereas Omega Leader is a tier 1 build out of the box, who will almost always win a 1v1 battle.

Oh it's decent, no question, but Fenn isn't exactly the most survivable these days. Also, as others have said, without a couple of other cards, he's not at his best. He's still good, but he's not as good as he could be.

Meanwhile, OL only ever wants just two upgrades to be at it's best, and they're both in the box. OL is also a fair bit more useful in the current meta, and a good bit more forgiving for new/casual players.

What the Protectorate box has going for it over the /fo is that more of the aces in it are useful beyond the top one. Kad Solus doesn't see enough play in my opinion, and Old Teroch is rock solid. Meanwhile, Zeta Leader isn't terrible, but it's not great value, and Epsilon Ace I've only found use for in some janky, fun builds like Decoy Echo.

The /fo is the most complete box as a one-box-build due to OL being so good, but Protectorate is a very, very close second.

Good points. Regardless, I bought a $10 /fo anyway

I have four. For ten bucks, I'd still buy two more.

I already own 5 TIE/fo (two core, one exp), while it's a good price, I don't think a 6th adds a ton of value.

Gotta get the Jukes! Multiple core sets are an issue as it makes it hard to get enough integrated astromechs or jukes.

Eh, we almost always just use printed off lists so we don't have to screw around with cards anyways. If I was taking Juke to a tournament I don't see where I'd need more than one anyways as FFG overpriced the Glaive by one point.

I was tempted as well, but wasn't that expansion a mess? Jabba doesn't do anything by RAW, forgotten firing arcs, etc.

I am interested mainly for the new Scyk pilots and title. Plus the shiny new epic ship... to sit on the shelf next to the others.

Yeah, I don't own a Scyk and I've yet to play an epic game, yet still I am tempted. Maybe at half off or better, or I was already buying enough for free shipping.

but no one mentioned the green and the clear bases packs. Green is so OP and at $4.39, how can you beat that. ;-)
