Alternate opinion: the N1 is suuuuuper low on this list. It is one of the best Republic options: its survivability, attack, and standardized abilities make it a force to be reckoned with. Bare-bones, it is superior to every other small ship the Republic have! It can also serve as a solid torpedo platform and it comes with a 5-skill pilot. My advice? Buy even just one of these before any interceptor (unless you REALLY want to fly Jedi alot). Note: Crabbok is right - 1 will make you want 2 more. Thanks for the list, Crabbok!
Thus far, my luck with the Republic, and also with the Separatists, in flying lists from those factions has been abysmal...I'm not a fantastic X-Wing player in general, and I only play for fun, but the last two times I played, I did those factions, and lost horribly with them, for different reasons. But, it's still fun, so I enjoy seeing how you've ranked the ships! I will take your rankings into consideration when next I attempt to fly the Republic!
I really, really love the ARC 170 but in X Wing I've seen it get dogged by T-65s. I agree, when I play Empire I usually do a lot better than when I play Republic with a lot less effort. The only successful list I've had for Republic is Sinker swarm
Sad that the N1 wasn’t further up the list, though understand the reasoning. That said, in the cases of Ric Olié and Anakin, they’re super powerful as singular N1s in any last
New players, give Fly Casual a look, try some builds and see what you like, what feels good for your playstyle. That's how I got into the X-Wing prequel trilogy!
Very informative and I love the rankings you gave each ship. And for the record, if Fantasy Flight wanted me to like them more, they could stop doing con exclusives. LOL... I still want that silver N-1, so I guess I'll have to make one myself.
I hope to get into X-Wing with the republic. I love my Clone Army for Legion. What all is necessary in order to play a game of X-Wing with only buying Republic ships
erm, only one correction. on average the n1 starfighter pilots are more expensive than the ywings. the ywings do tend to take more upgrades, which lead them to cost round about the same. i also cant think of a single list that requires 3 n1s. important to note about this one is its the only acey ship the republic has access to that can take torpedoes. that being said i do agree that its not the most necessary ship to buy straight away.
Does anyone know if this still holds up? I’m in the process of converting to 2.0 but some of the Republic ships are cool, so I’m thinking about making a small squadron with some ARCs and a gunships or y-wing. Especially since I’d be able to use the ARCs with Rebels too.
I have the first edition starter set from 2012.. I was at the hobby store yesterday the guy at the store told me the figures for second edition can also play for first edition. In the movies I love the clone wars in the prequel, EU, the cartoon, the CGI cartoon till the mouse got its grubby little white gloves and destroyed Star Wars. So can these box sets still play first edition like the guy at the store told me?
What I don't like about these games is that they publish something but it gets banned for tournaments... I don't really get why they ban this stuff from tournaments... >.
Each faction should have a 39.99 core set with:
3 ships that are new paint jobs
Damage deck
Dice
Terrain
Range and maneuver templates
Terrain?

Could we get some updated ones at the start of 2022 or December. I love these vids, and I would love to see how you rank the new ships!
I second this
I just wanna buy like 2 ships for each faction and have a free for all with my friends.
this is the way
@@logiclust I really want a razor crest mini
You mean like, each friend has 2 ships? Because some ships do not do well solo.
@@lyianx yeah probably.
Please make a guide for this 😆👍🏻

Thanks for the list, Crabbok!
Love these videos! Any chance you’ll do an updated buyer’s guide for the legion factions (especially clones and separatists)?
Yes I’m working on that
I literally got my first to just get the ship itself. I like collecting mini-scale ships that fit in scale with others.
I went full Y-Wing in every faction that has them. It’s my favorite ship!
This video was extremely helpful! I'm considering getting into X-Wing and want to play as the Republic. You've given me things to think about!
Lots of great additions for the republic this year! Can’t wait to get my hands on the Eta-2 and still looking for the LAAT in store
I cant wait to buy one of those gunships!
Been waiting for the what to buy first updates across all the systems!
I love the up-armored y-wing

Super helpful. I've been wanting to pick up some republic ships.
Question for Armada, will the Republic/Separtists fleet starters have everything needed to start playing(Movement took, rule books, etc )?
yep :)
Crab, I hope one day you take us on a tour of your entire collection.
Sad that the N1 wasn’t further up the list, though understand the reasoning. That said, in the cases of Ric Olié and Anakin, they’re super powerful as singular N1s in any last
Agreed! I typically play CIS but every game I play against my Republic friend those N1’s are his MVP every time. And they’re cheap to boot

Always great reviews and understanding of the game.
awesome videos! i dont know if i want to start but lots of info and nice explanation
Looking to pick up Republic. Thank you.
This is an awesome introduction, thanks!

I really wanna get into xwing again. I haven't played since v2. I got the conversion pack but right as I found a store to play at covid hit.
Dumb question but are working on newing buying guides on the other factions for X-wing or did you already cover that?

Is there a more update version of this video?

Any chance we could get your thoughts on the shift in a future video?
boo, glory to the Separatist Alliance!
Just Kidding. Keep up the great videos!

@@stauxin91093 that's clankA to you
dropped the Hard R
Watching this in 2024. 200 points. 🤯
Any plans on doing a cross faction video?
recognizable
After 2/22/22, a self lobotomy kit, disposable 👍
Tbh I'm just buying them in wave order lmao
still havent played my first game after buying in
Tabletop simulator
I'm buying all the rest of the world's stock and ebaying them when atomic releases unpainted minis
I’ll gladly buy
I have to laugh at the irony of the metal tokens advertising prefacing a buying on a budget video.
I’ll miss the painted minis
Was that confirmed?
No but I do a have a feeling
I hope they don't do that as its nice not having to worry about painting yet another system
NOOOOO!!!!! I might be out if they stop painting them... I like painting them if I have a few extras but ain't got time to do that for all of em!
