So i have:

2 X-Wings
1 Y-Wing

2 Tie Fighers
1 Slave1

what amount of points would you recommend to play with so i could get all the ships on the board?
is there some good way to count this or is it just try and fail?

100 pt is pretty standard

I just got into this my self and what I did is went through with what I had and see what worked well, but not making anyone over powered

I found 90pts worked well for what I had and nobody was still able to use all their gear and become uber powerful over the other

The "minimum" to me would be 65 points as it lets you field:

Rookie x2

Gold + Ion Turret (-5 without the turret)

For the Imperials you are at 57 points:

Academy Pilot x2

Bounty Hunter.

You may be able to bloat your ships to reach 100 points that probable is not the greatest idea as you shouldn't want to play that many upgrades. Now if I say the range is 60-100 the average would be 80 so maybe you could try that although I believe it will favor the Rebels. My guess is that 70-75 points would be the best point value to play at.

Something to keep in mind is that the rebel ships, and the Firespray, will benifit far more from upgrades than the ties. If you get near 100 points the game will be heavily in favor of the Rebels.

I would shoot for 65 to 70 tops.

For 80 points you could make the following imperial list.

Mauler Mithel (17)

Night Beast (15)

Krassis Trelix (48), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Gunner (5)

For Rebels you could do the following.

Luke Skywalker (32), R2-D2 (4)

Biggs Darklighter (25)

Gold Squadron Pilot (23), Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Thanks i think ill try 70 points and see how balanced it feels..

One word of advice - dont' let the rebels use R2-D2 until you're at a full 100 points. The less points on the board, the better he is.
