Card Packs - idea that will be developed?

By Schanez, in X-Wing Off-Topic

As a starting player in X-Wing, I am struggling with outfitting my ships. I was extremely happy, when I saw the planned release of the card packs, but then the excitement somewhat dwindled, when I saw the only planned ones contain additional pilots, devices and obstacles. While I will probably still buy them, especially the later two, it still does not answer my need for cards.

I currently posess the Core Set, a T-65 X-Wing and a Y-Wing expansions as well as two Tie/ln and Tie/Advanced expansions. From all of those, I only have 1 Elusive card. Or only two Shield Upgrade cards. There is only one Gunner card, that being the Veteran Gunner one.

I am planing squadrons in the app and create ideas for strategies, but due to lack of cards, I am unable to play them. There are people selling singular cards around, but those are used and in various state. I was looking for an official source of additional Talents, Modifications and such... But the only idea I came up with, is to buy one of the Expansion Sets from 1.0 to 2.0. Which leaves me with a lot of Pilots I do not need, for ships I do not have or don't plan on buying.

Is there any workaround for this? Or are there more packs being planned?

Curious... you are aware that they just announced card packs, right?

I literally mentioned them in the second sentence. Thank you for reading what I had to say.

Indeed you did, but FFG announcing more card packs already, to anybody, is not in the cards, as it were.

Either patience, buy extra packs of something, or third party trades and purchases.

I have not heard of the other Upgrade Packs, thank you for notifying me about them. I guess... Patience is indeed a virtue. I am more of a Sith person.

Patience is a very Sith virtue... they waited a thousand years for the Grand Plan. Palpatine waited like 20 years sitting under the noses of the Jedi, before Order 66... :D
