First thing to buy: Luxury Tokens Second thing to buy: everything else

[@ClockworkAnomaly]

It's worth considering buying a single mining tie and then using the 2 starter ties along with it as "3 mining ties" Just saying. It's a true budget option.

[@djumeau]

What differs is that they are able to ignore obstacles.

[@juanandresramirez5336]

Just for fun, yes, but it's not allowed in official competitions. And the main obstacles is dials, because I bet they're not exactly the same; you can proxy all the cards, but the dials are a little tougher (not impossible, though)

[@sachadelanghe4337]

@@juanandresramirez5336 Sorry for necro'ing. Indeed the issue is dials. (Same goes for First Order Ties vs regular, I have some from a First order vs ressistance first edition core set). The upside is, the difference between the Mining tie & regular tie is fortunately minimal. Regular tie has a white 5 forward and a 3 & 4 K turn Mining Tie has a red 5 forward and only a 3 K turn So for home play you could state that a 4 K turn is not possible on that dial and the 5 forward is red.

I’ve REALLY appreciated these recent “what to buy first” videos, Crabbok. Thank you! I am looking to get started with the 2.0 core set and then expand my fleet with rebel and imperial factions first. I have played Star Trek Attack Wing for the past several years so I am familiar with the basic mechanics of the game. I love both franchises, but when I started buying Attack Wing stuff I was more into Star Trek. Now, I’m more interested in Star Wars as are my kids, my primary gaming buddies! Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

[@Longo556]

Always appreciate these and the periodic updates!

[@GundamMeister357]

Shadows of the Empire is still my favorite SW novel AND SW video game. I was so excited when the YT-2400 and StarViper released.

[@overlordgaming4839]

I really like the ywing from the most wanted box. Great vid!

[@Toasteration]

Thank you very much, a very helpful video! And as you said, Slave I is definitely number 1 for me, and I will even get two of them. Absolutely awesome ship.

[@86Disab]

Hope to see these vids for the rest of the factions!

[@jonlamont2378]

I'm hoping to see the Kihraxz make its 2nd Ed debut soon! With any luck it will be one of the alternate hull designs for it!

[@jedimaster2712]

Good thing I’ve been purchasing everything from the beginning lol.

[@Medjai_1457]

I just started playing before the virus (so sadly not many games played). Mostly republic, but I’d love to get into scum or resistance. This video helps a ton! I already have Landos falcon and slave I, but I’m TERRIBLE at flying it lol.

[@keithbrown8236]

New collector. Enjoying your videos

[@djumeau]

The faction with the most toys... lots to upgrade with.

[@Broken777Arrow]

A hounds tooth and an extra z95 seems like the best value for money. Also that table presence of the hounds tooth...

[@highlanderlaw5891]

Just got the game and I wanted to play scum. This helped me a lot. Thanks

[@boltthebirb7233]

Just my 2 cents as a scum player who has only played second edition. Slave 1 and fang fighter would be my first buys. I bought lando's millenium falcon and have never used it. Wanted to use Han Gunner but points went up and it wasnt worthwhile any more. Next would probably be interceptor and punishing one. As long as you're having fun you're doing it right. Thanks for these videos Crabbok!

[@astrobricks3220]

Good video, looking to get into X-Wing

[@crafty835]

Perfect timing just got the game

[@djumeau]

Congratulations you have entered a new world.

[@petervonbleichert9688]

Congrats! And, hide your wallet!

[@petervonbleichert9688]

Anyone think we’ll get the Razorcrest and Mando for Scum & Viliany?

[@crafty835]

Peter von Bleichert too late

[@josephmoberly2109]

There’s some good scum ships out there, it’s the one faction I didn’t get the conversion kit for...yet

[@thelastraider6786]

I would suggest the starter pack with the hawk and two ywings. You get three ships and you can bolster ether the xwing or the two ties with in it for the money or bounty hunter cards then you can merc out your scum ships and get a feel for them.

[@Cbb88dragonborn]

These videos have been incredibly helpful for a beginning like myself. Any chance we’ll get a video for the First Order? That’s a faction I’m personally really interested in

[@boomknight1015]

To be fair, there is a lot of rebel/scum cards so basically doing it as a side faction is fair.

[@crimsonsith]

I have been playing since early in 1.0. I agree with the core set, but not with the other ones in the top 3. Someone starting out needs ships over cards. 2.0 is way more ship weighted. On a budget, pick a bounty hunter or smuggler ship, then pick up some headhunters or mineing ties. The mineing ties allow forgiveness on asteroids which can mitigate some early disadvantages if you are flying tournaments with less ships and experience.

[@alexking358]

Punishing One? Can get it half off on Ebay and its a really fun ship, especially to go with a Slave 1.

[@henrykoepp1597]

you don't actually need the core set at the time of writing, and you don't need to go third party either. You can get the deluxe range ruler/movement tools, a scum and villainy damage deck, and a dice pack from FFG themselves. obstacles too.

[@joelsmith7078]

The first ship one should always buy is one's favorite. So, for me it's always Millenium Flacon, followed by... other things, idk.

[@ActionHeinz]

X-Wing, budget. Two words that don't mix well.

[@fruitloops1481]

This game is pretty cheap as far as table top games go

[@ItsaVibe22]

Damn i was kinda interested but it's super complicated and it's the cost I'm talking about. It seems more if just a collectors thing than a game but that is cool too. Almost had me tho. Was going to get my nephews started but they would all need like 3 separate packs to not get bored and the starter has 2 ships that would go to waste making the game low priority abd the collecting ($$) high priority. I think they would have liked it tho.

[@gadsdenviking4159]

I know the new CR90 and the C-Roc 2.0s have the Republic amd Separatist faction cards. Does the huge ship conversion kit have those?

[@jacobfraedrich73]

The address his mandolorian hood but still depends on you out look on the cloning

[@overlordgaming4839]

Can you do a video like this for the republic?

[@dr3dn0x92]

Can't wait for the republic and separatist videos

[@djumeau]

The Huge ship conversion kit has stands for only 2 ships. I have tried to ask to get other plastic stands from Asmodee and they would not get me some. If there was a recommendation, I would really urge FFG to release other stands instead of getting other stands. (The stands do not match between v1 and v2.)

[@gpapa7395]

One day I’ll jump to 2.0...

[@RemyPrewitt]

Hey I'm new to x wing and I'm trying to figure out if I could start with mixing ships like the gauntlet b wing and fang fighter?

[@robertotworth2735]

Crabbok if I have a Jango firespray can I run it has a second firespray scum ship and use scum in it?

[@julianorentani1046]

Perfect video! My first ship was Lando's millenium falcon.. what do you think of Shadow Caster??

[@djumeau]

I bought a v1 Shadow Caster. I wanted to play Ventress.

[@onimartinez8646]

Just new to the game, dont own anything yet, is getting 2-3 core set a good thing? If i remember correctly, I read somewhere that during 1.0, a 6 Tie-fighter can put a goodfight. I'd like to start on the Empire.

[@Crabbok]

It’s probably a bit overkill and you won’t have that much variety. There’s simply soooo many options available and likely new TIE Fighters being announced soon for a new wave of aces packs, you may want to wait a bit.

[@dragonspecpc]

I really want to play Scum. Picked up core but can't find players. Local folks gave up with the 2.0 release. Guess they didn't want to buy conversations.

[@patrick.bastiaensen]

1 Lando Falcon + 2 Spicerunners

[@thehikingcucumber3410]

I’m the 500th 👍 Like on this video!

[@Bazscoobz]

Wow i didnt realise they havent printed the khirahx fighter for 2nd edition yet.

[@bageldrone]

why would they? its hot garbage

[@Bazscoobz]

@@bageldrone really? I was under the impression it is solid choice in second edition?

[@bageldrone]

i really wouldnt recommend the starter set if you only intend to play scum. the ships are next to useless, the damage deck and a complete set of asteroids can be bought elsewhere. the only thing you get would be the range ruleres and templates but 9/10 people replace them with acrylic templatesa after the first couple games

[@josephmoberly2109]

True but if you add it up it costs more. You can always sell or give away the ships and some cards.

[@bageldrone]

@@josephmoberly2109 if youre more than likely going to pay the price eventually anyway i dont see the argument for it. you will replace the range rulers, you will replace the tokens, rules leaflets are out of date, you dont get a full set of obstacles so you will need to buy the expansaion anyways.

[@amay200]

The Solo film Millenium Falcon is by far my favorite version of the ship. By and large tho the Falcon and Slave 1 are my least favorite ships in Star Wars lol. I recognize that likely makes me a minority. I didn't 'need' to watch this video (I have a respectable Scum & Villainy collection)

[@labtec514]

What an insightful comment, you've really helped with the topic at hand and didn't waste your time and everyone else's bandwidth and time reading your comment.

[@amay200]

@@labtec514 why the hate? Bandwidth is pretty affordable as of late, and I do enjoy talking about SW ships and my feelings toward them. Is it really that big of a deal?

[@bageldrone]

lando falcon is a bad first ship, its complicated and currently used very little. slave 1 or jumpmaster is far better. Large base ships arent good beginner ships, they dont fly the same way as smaller ships and end up on rocks and bumped. dont recommend the Z-95... bad ship

[@Mitharan23]

"What to buy first?" The Armada Core Set.

[@labtec514]

Imagine thinking that you can't play both

[@Velicue]

@@labtec514 hard to play armada now since everything is out of stock

Jeez.What to buy on a budget - food. FFS.
