Poll: what factions will you play?

By Kyle Ren, in X-Wing

Lol I'm in a poll-creating mood today.

What factions will you play? Wanted clear answers as to which portions of the population are doing what, so I made a lot of options and only allowed one per person. Please take your time to find one that describes you, and if it's not there, post a response here and tag me @Kieransi with your response.

CIS-Scum just has that certain ring to it

I went with “a combo not listed”. Current plan is to have conversation kits for everything, but likely not keeping up with Empire or First Order. I’m planning on getting into Republic, but I doubt I’ll get into the CIS at all.

Of course, this is all what I’m thinking at the moment. Still somethings that could change all this up.

@Kieransi Mostly Scum and CIS (Barring Vultures and Tri-fighters ending up multiple ships on one base. Not touching CIS if they do. Grrr.) but planning on dabbling in Rebs and Imps. Might try some Rep, FO and Resistance if they end up having something that attracts my attention enough.

Pretty much the original 3 for now, though I will be addin First Order with a full conversion box for my stuff.

I am doing a hard pass on the resistance.

I am telling myself no prequels. Will see how that goes.

My current plan is “Just the OT factions I like” (Empire + Scum), but depending on how the factions develop I could change my tune. I mostly am chasing playstyles/ships I find compelling, so that brought me from Rebels > Scum > Empire over the life of 1.0. The non-OT stuff is less interesting to me, but good designs could convince me to dabble or even migrate.

Didn't find the option, so

Empire, scum, and the prequel ARC faction

@Kieransi

I’m trying to pace myself but I like keeping my options open and know myself too well...

I think Rebels, Resistance, Republic probably matches best, but I have a ton of scum and FO stuff from 1.0 I’d like to convert eventually and there’s a few CIS ships I know I’ll want (The scimitar being one).

So probably the honest answer is “Everything except Empire” since most of my Imperial stuff was FO and it doesn’t make much sense to convert the few ships I have unless I have nothing else to buy.

Not listed- Galactic Empire and Scum.

As in 1st edition - scum only (I don't think those 5 games rebels and 3 as empire count)

YES.

ALL THE THINGS.

Currently thinking of flying just Rebels and Resistance. Might be converted to Republic as well depending on how they fly as a faction but right now just the Rebels and Resistance. Gotta have my X-Wings

Combo not listed. Plans are to play Scum and Empire, but waiting to get on board 2.0 after I see how things pan out, if we are back to 3-5 meta lists running everything in a couple of months, it might just be time to pull the plug.

Only First Order. At the time I voted it appears I’m alone in this endeavour. But things may change down the road. Although likely only gunna play one faction because of moneys. But who knows.

Empire, First Order, and the Republic for me. The Republic is appealing to me because of the force, but more importantly the memes.

I said original 3 (Rebels, Imperial, Scum).. but I know I will cave and play at least a little bit of everything else. I am not interested in Resistance or First Order until there is more though, but I could see myself getting sucked into the Clone Wars factions. I just need to convince my friends to buy into those factions and let me steal borrow ships to play against them.

The memes will be with you.

Always.

Republic ships have always been my favourite, and I already have a large rebel collection, so Ill just stick with those two.

I'm mostly sticking with Empire while Rebels will be secondary. I plan to pick up at least one of every Scum but don't see myself buying much more for them.

Clone Wars stuff will probably be similar to Scum. I'll get one of everything and a few extras i like to play.

Anything from the Resistance or the First Order is extremely unlikely. Mostly due to how much I despise The Last Jedi.

Wave 2 will be very cheap for me and will allow me to save for better Waves. ?

Rebels, Resistance, and Republic for me. I love me some s-foils. And I am a sucker for the good guys if I am honest, can never play as bad guys for long even in video games.

Combo not listed:

Empire, their descendants (First Order) and their predecessors (Republic)

I'm the only one skipping the OT it seems, lol. I'm at least doing the sequels and the Republic, haven't made my mind up on CIS
