For a new player without any other ships/expansions (and as a result, additional upgrade cards etc) this set is a little lacking. However, since it is only 26 dollars if you could splurge and pick up a few other ship expansions in addition to this set then it is still well worth it. Even without doing so you could still play a decent amount but as with any miniatures game you will need other ships. If you are already a current player though you cant beat the price. 3 ships, some upgrades and extra dice and templates is a steal.

Very fun game that can be enjoyed casually and competitively. This starter is great because it adds worthwhile ships, has the base rules and all the items are useful. You could purchase 2-3 of these for a bigger game or just enjoy these ships. FFG has done a great job making things balanced and useful, so you really can fly every ship. AND you save money by purchasing the starter vs. purchasing each ship individually. WARNING you will want to purchase more, as the game is very addictive.
