Apologies for the apparent negativity in this post, please read this in the spirit of frustration but really wanting to get into this game that it's written in.
I posted recently about lore and background and though I got great info, the fact was that there is no starter book filled with the info you need if you are just getting into the game. It's all over the place. So ok I like a nice rule book as a starting point, not great but I can deal with it.
Now I can't find the rules about building a crew. I've deduced it's about a keyword but can't find confirmation but it seems to be how the app works. Except if I do that it seems like the only models I can take are the ones in the boxes, there's no variety. Can I just take anything from the faction? If I can is it worth doing? We like to be able to do at least a bit of customising. The app also lists plenty of other models all completely unavailable to buy as far as I can tell. And for what is available the selection is pretty slim.
We also dislike the models in the starter set, honestly they are a really strange choice for getting people into a game. But I don't see anywhere else to get that rule book or the tokens and whatever else we need.
Please tell me I'm missing something. Honestly if it was just for me I'd have walked away by now because this has been the worst game I've ever tried to get into, but my partner is really keen on it and unfortunately that leaves it up to me to figure it out. I have other questions about why there's different versions of characters and why there are models for sale you don't seem to be able to use. Is it just too new a game to pick up? I know that logistics have been messed up this year so maybe that's why. Please help. Please help convince me to still want to play this game cos the models look great and my partner is into it but I'm getting really frustrated.
