Talk:TIE Defender Expansion Pack/@comment-65.31.238.120-20170314210607/@comment-454133-20170314211327

Which one you should buy comes down to a few factors:


 * Are you happy "proxying" cards (e.g. using cards you don't actually have, and just printing out a copy of them)?  This is cheaper than buying every expansion for its pilot and upgrade cards, and most people are okay with it.  Official Tournaments are the only place where it's not allowed.  If you can proxy cards, then you don't have to worry about buying one set or the other for the upgrades.

Otherwise:
 * If you can't proxy cards, Veterans has important titles that make the TIE Defender and TIE Bomber a lot better, so I recommend that.


 * Do you prefer the paint job on the Imperial Veterans, or standard TIE Defender?


 * Do you like TIE Bombers, or just the Defender? Veterans comes with a bomber, which can be used either to carry missiles/torpedoes/bombs, or to carry support crew.  That can round out your team nicely.

The answer is *probably* Veterans, but the standard TIE Defender pack has its charms.
