Which Second Edition faction will you fly, if any?

By Kyle Ren, in X-Wing

Empire all the way. I do want a secondary faction for variety's sake eventually but I think it will be awhile before I figure out which one. I have plenty to catch up on the Empire faction for now. I'm leaning toward the Resistance or the First Order but am undecided. Perhaps the ships introduced in the Resistance animated show will sway me in a direction. On the other hand the mechanics of the Prequel factions could potentially make me interested in them.

The one that allows me to fly anything I like, so Rebels to Scum and everything in between. With that said it’ll be on a ship to ship basis from Wave to Wave. For example I never expected to fly Scum until Han Solo became Scum... so. And I will definitely dabble in CIS and Republic (Obi-Wan, Anakin, Maul, Dooku, Grievious, Jango ??)

Again mainly imperial and rebel, I guess. But that rebel will turn into resistance, and maybe eventually Galactic Republic.

Maybe I'll skip Scum and CIS

Still getting 1 of each so I guess all 7.

All except Scum.

Rebel, if any. Emphasis on "if any".

Confederacy! And only Confederacy!

But since they aren't going to come out for a year probably have to pick up Empire and Rebel conversion kits to play in the meantime and also will be picking Republic so I can have someone to shoot down with my glorious Droid armies

I’m staying Scum and definitely getting Lando’s Falcon and those mining guild TIE’s, although I may have to get a few Republic expansions for Jedi pilots.

Most of them (and tbf, if Naboo starfighter gets a release, all of them).

Just doing the same as always, buying everything and having the price with my bro. ? Advantages of a brother!

I was born to play Scum & Villainy

Galactic Empire & First Order.

Empire only. Very glad that First Order has been excised; I refused to buy those ships because of the films.

Will probably get a couple each of X-wings and Naboo Starfighters in time, for casual coffee table games with my partner.

Everything, and especially CIS Droids in numbers...

OG Rebellion and Empire for me. With a side order of Scum & Villainy.

I'll look forward to playing against the other four factions on the table, of course.

I'm for sure converting Rebels and Empire, that's all I selected in the survey. I'm holding on to my Resistance stuff, selling off the First Order stuff I have. I might convert Resistance, I might not. I'm not super attached to it, so I'll make that call later on. I do like that new A-Wing so that might convince me to convert.

CIS would be my main.

Probably Scum in the mean time for the Firespray. Maybe grab Lando’s Falcon and 2 of the Mandalorian Fighters to give a bit of variety.

Rebels, Empire and...oh sweet baby, Poe...Resistance.

I still haven't quite made up my mind. I'll likely get the 2.0 core and one of the conversion kits to try the game and see if I'm still interested in X-Wing. After that, I think I'm going to focus on lists/squads more than specific factions. I'm almost certain I'm no longer going to collect one of every release+extras.

I've always been partial to the Empire, but I plan to fly anyone, really, especially if they have ships with unique and fun mechanics.

Agreed. I will probably do that for the factions I choose to play consistently, but only those. I’ll be cutting back by not having any of certain factions.

Oddly enough, this is how I feel too.

Im collecting Empire & FO, and possibly 1 of the clone wars factions. I think we may not see anything new for Empire in a long time, so I would count that one as complete.
