So, two Core Sets gives you a solid core to both Empire and Rebels whilst giving you a full dice pool, two sets of templates, obstacles and two damage decks.
If you don’t know anyone who currently plays, it’s probably worth getting a little bit of two factions so that you can introduce your friends to the game without spending too much on any specific faction and trying to get a fairly balanced, representative experience of the game. This assumes that you don’t know anyone to play with right now (although this should be fairly easy to fix, as there are a whole host of communities online and typing in your local area followed by X-Wing should lead you to a Facebook group not to far from your location!) The first place to start is what I used to recommend to people as a Balanced Approach. What was really impressive was that with this release they introduced the idea of Squadron Packs, which contained the same number of ships as the core set, but all for one faction and by July 2019 FFG had Deluxe Maneuver Templates and Dice available, the Obstacle Pack “Never Tell Me The Odds” was released in January 2020, adding in variety for which Obstacles you could bring, but still we were missing easy access to the Damage Deck without resorting to the secondary market. Luckily, in Q1 of 2019 FFG added the first new factions to the game, after splitting Resistance and First Order into their own distinct factions, they added Clone Wars Era ships with the Republic and Separatist factions. These conversion kits contained a bunch of Cards and Accessories to convert your collection to Second Edition, but they also made for an awkward entry to the game, as new players often could not actually buy the ships from the older edition or if a store was stocking the old ships would have to pay for a Conversion Kit without being able to get the “full value” as they may only have one or two of the ships from that kit to use.
What is more, the launch was also accompanied by the somewhat controversial Conversion Kits. Roll on May 2018 and Fantasy Flight Games announce that they were going to publish a second edition of the game and X-Wing 2.0 hit the shelves in September 2018, accompanied by a rerelease of some old ships for the Rebel Alliance, Galactic Empire, & Scum and Villainy faction, they now came with cool moving parts, a new paint job, and new sculpts.
