I just buy everything. Then I don't have to ask the question.

Visualize the actions you do in order to purchase things, then don’t do them.

So less beer...

If you don't want to buy all factions, maybe you could just steal them from your local Gameshop? 😇

Try to ask yourself what you think you will mainly like to fly. Me? I love me the good guys so Republic, Rebels, and Resistance. BUT I was interested in scum so i bought that...and then my dad wanted to fly Empire so we got the kit for that. And I think when CIS comes out he will want to play that...FO is unknown but he might want that...

In short you will pick one maybe two factions at first but then you will begin wanting everything, such is the way of things.

I just buy the specific ships I like (subject to means) across factions. This is obviously a problem if you like all the ships (or need a conversion kit).

So.. Question to all the veterans.. How do you manage to avoid buying every single faction..? Cus I'm new and I just cant decide what side I want to play and want stuff from every side.. xD I like the TIE variants the best, But every faction has ships I realy like the looks of so it is realy hard to pick a single faction..

Its easy...I dont buy cause Im poor.

Easy. Rebels are and always have been completely uninteresting to me. I started with empire, added scum when they arrived. By default I suppose I now do first order as I have a bunch of their ships.

The clone wars crap can just bugger off, couldn’t care less.

Heresy! Imperial Assault! A much better game and with *real* character development in a *real* campaign mode. Oh and Armada and too many other games.

I am loving XW 2.0 though after a year away being annoyed at the power stride (not creep) in 1.0.

I could never buy a ship I really do not like, just for her powerfull metagame, or a single upgrade card in the pack. For this reason in 1.0 I refused to buy the Aggressor, and a lot of Scum ships. After starting the roleplay, needing the models, I have acquired them (discounted, mainly on ebay, ship only, more rarely on the discounts for 1.0 to 2.0 iatus) and in some case repainted them. If there is not a catching background, I have no interest in a ship. This is the way most of the ship from Episode VII, VIII, and IX have no appeal to me. Maybe in the future years...

Step 1, I will only buy one faction,

Step 2, I'll only get 2 factions.

Step 3, Get a third faction while waiting for wave 2.

Step 4, I will only buy First Order and leave Resistance alone,

I think sticking to a budget is more important than avoiding other factions. One of my biggest regrets in 1.0 was just playing imperial for 95% of it. With seven factions a couple are gonna underperform so it's a good ideal to look at more than one. Or you may be miserable when your faction is in a slump

right now it's pretty simple. Wave 2 and 3 haven't even hit the shelves yet. So I cannot buy what is not available.

step 5: oh, okay Resistance has some fun stuff. Wave 3 is still a bit away

step 6: only CIS right now.

step 7: holy crap Delta 7's are cool, buy buy buy!!!!
