To be honest, i never wanted to play a pre-made list from people stronger than me. i want to learn the game and discover ways to use ships' ability and shenanigans to aquire a strategic advantage. that's why, even if i'm a relative "new player", i like to build squads. a lot of. and when i tried to enter competitives plays, or even tournaments, i have been decieved from what i have seen.

all the imp had at least ryad and/or palp

nearly all scum played dengar and/or manaroo

there where not a lot of resistance player, not enougth to say something about it.

and that made me sad.

I have 3 TIE defender on my collection, i have the raider, i have a jumpmaster. i'm a big time collectionner, i'm a star wars fan. even yesterday i've played (paper) RPG on it with my friends.

BUT

I didn't want to field easy to play predictable ships that where strong only because of a disbalance on the game. I want to see variety. I want to see all that star wars extended universe can offer in terms of originality and perhaps i'm dumb to dream about it, but i dream of awards aquired because you know how to play your ships, you know it's shenanigans, it's strong aspects, it's weaknesses. not to have only the two or three owerpowered list on the meta.

short answer: as a future game designer, i'm glad that ffg made something about it.
