===Neutral Expansions=== There are a couple of neutral boxes that will be good to grab regardless of what faction(s) you play. With the advent of Second Edition, FFG promised that rereleases of 1E ships would not include any new cards that weren't in the appropriate Conversion Kit. The B-Wing Expansion doesn't even include Autoblasters, those are in the Resistance Transport Expansion. With that in mind, several of the neutral expansions are a compromise, bundling a bunch of new cards together so nobody feels like they have to buy a Nantex ''just'' for the Targeting Computer. [[Proxy|But of course, you never really have to buy an expansion just for a single card]]. *'''Epic Battles Multiplayer Expansion:''' Introduces 2-8 player Epic matches, which allow for Wings (Formations) and Huge Ships. Also has 11 objective-based scenarios. *'''Never Tell Me The Odds Obstacle Pack:''' Contains oodles of obstacles, including the gas clouds initially exclusive to ''Guardians of the Republic'' and ''Servants of Strife''. Also, scenarios. *'''Fully Loaded Devices Pack:''' Has just about every payload, including the reintroduction of cluster mines and new scenarios. *'''Hotshots and Aces Reinforcements Pack:''' This one is the must-own. The non-prequel factions get 3 new pilots for existing ships and the Rebels get a bonus 4th. It's much more encompassing than the others in terms of bundling upgrades from 2E expansions, including 0-0-0 and BT-1, who [[Derp|weren't in the ''Galactic Empire Conversion Kit'']]. There's also an S-Foils config card for the B-Wing, which makes the thing actually worth flying. *'''Pride of Mandalore Reinforcements Pack:''' Contains a slew of Mandalore-themed cards for the non-ST factions. The most significant is the Fang Fighter pilot cards for the Rebel Alliance. Moff Gideon and ISB Dudes join the Empire as TIE/ln pilots. The included Crew upgrade cards serve a wide variety of playstyles, but there's a tendency to reward aggressive daredevils. *'''Hotshots and Aces II Reinforcements Pack:''' H&A2 has five new pilots for every single faction in the game, and all but First Order have at least one Force-user. Let's get the biggest selling point out of the way first: The triumphant return of Psycho Tycho Celchu in his A-Wing and Wes Janson in his X-Wing. Durge from the OG ''Clone Wars'' cartoon series makes a surprise appearance for both CIS and Scum, and he is appropriately [[Tank|beefy]]. CIS also gets Aurra Sing as a Force-using Firespray pilot along with some organic pilots in ships that are traditionally droid-only. The Republic finally gets Kit Fisto and Adi Gallia as pilots, Resistance catches up to ''Rise of Skywalker'' a full three years after anybody gave the slightest shit about that movie by putting Poe Dameron and Lando Calrissian in the Scavenged Millennium Falcon, the First Order has a strong focus on the TIE/fo, the Empire lets the Second Sister use the Force in a TIE Interceptor, and Scum finally gets Hondo Ohnaka and [[/co/|Doctor Aphra]] as pilots. *'''Battle of Yavin Scenario Pack:''' Want to recreate the Battle of Yavin for the nine-billionth time? OF COURSE YOU DO. This has cardboard pieces to build the trench and thermal exhaust port as well as a bunch of pilot loadout cards for Rebel and Empire that are built with the scenario in mind. These cards are legal in Standard Play and give unique options to existing pilots, so there is a reason to buy the pack even if you never play the scenario itself. Listbuilding for the scenario has interesting instructions: You aren't prohibited from using pilots from outside this pack as long as both players agree to their inclusion. The written justification is that the scenario is balanced with the included cards in mind, but an arguably bigger reason is that a player who wants a straight re-enactment of the battle has an avenue to veto meme lists, which can ruin the atmosphere if both players aren't on the same wavelength. *'''Siege of Coruscant Scenario Pack:''' Same deal as the ''Battle of Yavin Scenario Pack'', but with Republic and CIS.
