Are you playing casually or trying to compete? Trying to compete in tournaments will be more expensive, as you'll need to buy a bunch of expansions (or borrow from people) to have the cards you need; if you go that route, the Firespray isn't very tournament-competitive right now so I wouldn't recommend it. But if you're playing casually for fun, and especially if you're happy to "proxy" cards (use placeholders or otherwise don't worry about which cards you own), then the firespray is a good choice. Casual play in general is going to be way more friendly to someone first getting into the game anyway.

The Slave I is a fantastically thematic ship too, fun to fly, and I recommend it for casual play. It's kind of tough to avoid investing too many squad points into it though, as it does best when not all its slots are filled. Its rear arc can be a powerful asset, especially with Engine Upgrade to help you position it.

If you have questions about other expansions, I'm happy to help.
