Enri: The base set is plenty fun on its own, since you can experiment around with different builds -- you're just going to be limited by not having enough ships and missing out on some of the more popular builds. So there's two ways you can go about it. Slowly build up your expansions as you need them and can fit them in, or pick a build from the beginning and build your way towards that as a goal.

If you want to build an team as cheaply as possible, play as Rebel and add in one X-wing and one Y-wing expansion. Rebel ships are more expensive and have more upgrade options (droids, missiles, etc.) that would allow you to fill up your 100 points faster. With the Imperials, unfortunately your upgrade options are more limited, and the ships are cheaper, meaning you need more of them (and thus, need to spend more money) to reach your 100 points.

On the other hand, $15 for expansions is actually really doable for most people.

I just want a Nebulon-B frigate. And a Corellian Corvette. A Corellian gunship would be even cooler but I'll stick with the basics. Basically I want to play a mix of Fleet Commander, Harpoon, Homeworld, and Tie Fighter, except with little plastic mans ships. Is that so much to ask? I mean, fighters are cool and all and I really dig this game but capital ships own and give you so much potential for crew cards, modified configurations, etc.

I must be the only one who doesn't like those repaints. The asteroids are ok, but goddamn is that Lambda atrociously ugly.

Corellian Gunship corvette? Though I guess it's technically more identifiable as Rebel, it could easily be used for both.
