Cross faction optional for upgrades?

By Aurelus, in Star Wars: Legion

Does anyone know if Legion will follow the Xwing/Armada model of having to buy everything to get access to all upgrades... or the Runewars model of everything will (eventually) be available to all factions without having to buy units you will never use?

Supposedly FFG has said they are going to do a better job of making the cards well distributed among the units. So you shouldn't have to buy the Xan pacifist squad that will sit on the shelf to get the tactical close air support cards you actually want for your tournament list.

Man, playing the Xan Pacifists sure sounds like fun!

But there is no place for them in this current meta. :P

Unless those flipped cards break this rule they have stuck to that for at least wave 1.

You may need each upgrade for your chosen faction due to extras but to this point there have been no cross faction.

It was said in one of the Team Covenant interviews from GenCon.
