Scum main, occasionally Rebels and Empire. (Too) many ships bought for repaints and HotAc. 2 of 4 children playing regularly, the others are occasionally interested. One hardcore Rebel, the other 2/3 Scum and 1/3 Empire.

Never interested in sequels, the ships are just boooooring colour inverts imho.

Neither fond of the prequels execution.

But possessing already 3 Rebel Arcs, I bought one Republic Arc, now I can have a gorgeous wingspan 4 Dragonfly wing for fun.

Looked at the Jedi Aethersprite in store. Beautiful executed model, and good base for a ton of repaints. But I just do not like the ship, the design is totally impractical with a cockpit at the outermost and uppermost tip. And do not start me on the space banana with the amputated astros. So I guess it will stay at just that Arc.

One child however is buying into CIS. So looks like we will having 4.25 factions (if not selling off Empire).

Neither. Originally with 2.0 I was going to shift to a single faction (empire), but eventually figured the conversion kits were such a deal that I would get all five since I had ships from 1.0 for all of them. I haven't played enough from those sets since 2.0 came out to justify buying enough ships to start one or two new factions from scratch. Saw the minis for the first time on Friday and really happy for my decision. I find them super tiny and the finishes look to be a poorer quality than the other ships. While the 3packs are ok price wise, the thought of $20+ cdn for a single one of those models has me saying hells no.

Both. I think there's only one or two ships produced so far that I haven't picked up at least one of. I find myself playing Imperial a lot, but I like having the option to flip-flop between factions and mess about with odd interplays. Adding two factions to that won't change the desire. I'm initially more excited by Separatists because I like the theme of networked/synergistic ships, but I'm already waiting with bated breath for N1s and Hyenas.

I’ve picked Republic. The Seperatists do look pretty good, perhaps objectively better than Republic ships (Maul in particular). The Republic Jedi are expensive points wise, but my hope is that the Jedi improve as new force powers are released and existing force powers reduce in cost.

Current force powers are (imho) taxed or limited talents - constrained by available force points. This means they’re less than optimal compared to just a normal pilot talent.

I think though that the Republic “might” have some viable builds with Arc-170s and Naboo starfighters supported by a Jedi. They’re not a fully rounded out faction yet. We might see the Eta-2 starfighter appear in future expansions & the Naboo starfighter currently gives an option of a ship that can keep pace with an Aethersprite to actually capitalise on the synergy abilities of most current Jedi.

That all said the Republic look to be a hard sell for competitive play.

I'm buying separatists, alright...

...for Legion 😎

None. I never liked the prequels' ships, to be honest. I will stay with Empire and Rebels only (and those I have multiple copies of every ship).

I have the Republic coming because clones, also because Jedi.

Separatists are looking mighty fun as well though. So I don't think their stuff will be far behind the Republic stuff.

I think I am leaning more towards the republic, just because when I look to future waves I don't think the seps have much in the way of a variety of ships.

Republic The Clone Wars is my favorite SW movie.

Republic of course!

Currently neither.

Neither.

Separatist. In 1.0 I bought all of them because I have a problem. Now I'm being a little more discerning, at least for now. Might buy republic stuff later on, but for now the faction with the Sith Infiltrator gets my purchase.

Waiting on my Republic pre-order, all about the clones for the most part! Though I have no interest in the droids themselves, I'm sorta concerned about how Separatists will be expanded as Ventress (and to a much less degree, other characters) might cause me to sway - and I sorta opted out not to use my store credit for Maul's ship and a bulubalubaba pack.

Neither, was never a fan of the prequel/clone wars stuff. So no reason to really dig into that.

Not buying either. Not because they're not cool, but just because I am old and my brain is full.

I bought Republic. I had to read the rules for grappling struts to many times as I was trying to understand them. I decided to keep things simple. Plus I felt that I could use some of the cards with my Rebel collection.

Neither. Already have a lot of factions. Would rather just buy stuff for factions I own as it comes and hope that I can get some of the cool new stuff that way.

Like the Clone Wars era, sure. Just a matter of costs and if I get enough time to play as it is.

This is where I’m sitting. I liked the prequel movies fine, but my preference will always be for the battles and ships of EpIV-VI (and the movies and shows that happen between them, like Rogue One). That’s where I’ll continue to focus. It’s not as if I get to play enough to ever use two more factions anyway...

neither!

As much as I want shiny new toys I have yet to actually play a game of 2.0 and have plenty to explore if or when I get back to x-wing.

Bring on epic 2.0!

edit.

I collect rebels, imperials and their younger angsty incarnations.

Once they adjust points with Republic I'll likely buy in, but until then I'll play what I have a borrow new stuff on occasion for casual night

I bought separatists. Two squadron packs, an Infiltrator (love the look of the ship and it should be fun to fly), and two individual vultures. I wanted the option of two discord missiles, and I dig having two Beelzebubs. I may buy some republic stuff later but between xwing and legion, my credits are getting stretched pretty forcing thin.

Frustrating issues with local suppliers aside (pre-ordered from 2 different stores, neither have Servants of Strife yet), I am going for 2 Strife, 2 extra Vultures and an Infiltrator. Vultures were one of the only things in the prequels that I developed any sort of affinity for so I was hooked from them moment they were announced.

I will get Republic if Torrent fighters are ok but they seem pretty lackluster to me at the moment.

I play Scum and Imperial, and was thinking of picking up Seps. After playing against them this weekend, I'm on the fence. Vultures are super week, being a TIE fighter with less agility, and I don't know if they are going to be good enough to pick up a lot of them. The BB-22 and Infiltrator however, look much more promising and might be fun- 2 Infiltrators (Maul and Dooku) with Greivous could be a good combo.

I suspect I'll end up buying the Republic just because I have a love of the ARC.

Republic though I regret it
