Recently stumbled across the game through various youtube videos. I don't even have any models yet but I am already hooked. I've ordered myself a starter set along with 2 x Condition Zebra booster packs to get started from Rival Sky Games as I had trouble locating anything in the UK.
Is there somewhere I can view what possible ships I could receive from the packs or how to best build a fleet, just something I can read up on in the meantime while waiting for these to arrive?
Second, booster packs are very rare now because the game has been out of print for about 6 years. You will need to buy on the singles market. You can buy and trade in our Marketplace subforum, Rivalsky.com sells them of course, you can also buy some from miniaturemarket.com and strikezoneonline.com. They are also widely available on eBay. The big ships are pricey now, but the good/bad news is WotC only did six sets so there isn't as many to get as a lot of random collectible miniature games.

Thanks for the welcome.
I will try taking a look at those sites too, I had a little browse on eBay but had mixed results with some ships not having cards or being unpainted I decided it was probably best to go for the starter set and some boosters to get a grasp of the game.
Do you have just a general interest or are there specific nations you're drawn to?
Hi!
Eventually I would like at least enough for 2 nations with a variety of build for when playing with family/friends. I'm not entirely set on one specific nation yet but I guess I will just see what I get in my first few packs before I commit to any singles. Unless I see something nice and go for an impulse buy while waiting

Yeah, it's all about the impulse buy. It's a nice group of people here. The ones who took the time to move to the new Forum really are committed to the game. Just ask, and they will help.

I already have had an attempted impulse buy on a listing I seen on eBay. From what I could tell it was 7 shapeways ships along with the cards to match from those forum decks. Unfortunately, with me being a bit rusty on eBay I screwed up my bid and someone else got them.
I have my eye on a few singles which I will probably commit to once I've received my starter and booster packs.

Welcome to the forum and the game! If you're looking to grow your collection without risking eBay I'd check out either the marketplace here or the war at sea Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/143751668165/, there's usually singles or bundles on offer in both spots.
If you want a specific ship or plane and don't mind trying your hand at painting, go to Shapeways.com for 3D printed units. Most are as nice or nicer than the WotC minis. Search on 1/1800 shipname or 1/900 planename.

Yep, I've been having a look through there although I think I will have to convince my father to get back into painting miniatures as he didn't pass down any of his talent.
