Spare cards/parts

By Calendyr, in X-Wing

Hey guys,

I am wondering how I could get spare parts and cards.

Let's say I loose a part for exemple a ship manouver dial... is there a way to replace it?

How about cards, I only have 2 ion cannon cards but if I decided to equip all my ships with it how would I go about it? Is it allowed to photocopy upgrade cards and use them? If not is there a way to get more from FFG?

Lastly, what about those small plastic sticks that link the ships to the bases... they look really flimsy to me and I am always afraid I will break one when I take the bases and ships appart. Some are really hard to remove, seems I should lube them somehow but I am afraid they won't stay in place if I do. Anyway, if I break one, is there a way to get a replacement?

You are allowed to copy as many cards as you want for your own play and if your opponant allows it, but for tournies and other legit places you can only use official copies.

For stands, odds are as you increase your collection you will begin to generate "spares" as you will simply have more stands (and ships) then you are using, so you can simply use stands from another ship instead. Another alternative is to buy new rods from a 3rd party.

As for maneuver dials they would be the most difficult to replace. Could try copying another dial and printing it out to make your own... But that requires owning another copy of that ship in the first place.

For myself, I simply went out and bought a fishing tackle box. If you grab a decent enough one, it should be able to store everything safely and for quite cheap. As long as you pack up properly after play, you shouldn't lose any pieces.

hmmm yes.. some upgrades that I need lots of = i need to buy alot of the only ship that it comes with.. kind of annoying. Though I do believe at some point FFG will release some expansion goodies sets. fingers crossed.

My Falcon came with 2 sets of cards... Lucked out I guess.

I want stealth (who doesn't) and proximity mine tokens. Actually proximity mine tokens the most since I can print a proxy for the stealth cards though not as nice.

Same boat I'm in.. I need like 3 more stealth devices.. sigh.

And that is why many people buys so many ships. More ships mean more cards

best bet is to proxy up what u need for testing and then arrange to borrow it b4 the day of a tournament or club competition.

you will likely have some doubles of name pilots that u can never actually use... magic marker them into whatevr pilots or upgrades u dont have :) proxies could also easily be colour copied ofr upgrade cards for casual play - its better option that buying ships just to get the upgrades u need.

If you break a rod or mangle a dial, contact FFG customer support. It sounds like they're quite accommodating.

Ok thanks guys, I will print extra cards for now. Thankfully I have not lost any piece (that I know of) and haven't broken any rod yet.

My group plays with my collection of X-Wings miniature. So there is always a risk.

Haven't run into the problem of not having enough cards yet but I just learned we can do Empire vs empire matches and the same for Rebels vs Rebels. I don't have enough rebels ships to do a battle between 2 groups but I think I do have enough Empire ships. So we might run into a situation where both players want to use the same cards.
