A very late bump.
I've played the base game a few times, and the game design is nice. I am not even attempting to get into the meta, though, because I don't want to buy up all the cards and ugly extra ships. If I continue playing it with my friends, I may mod some custom 3D printed things.
I did buy some TIE Avenger (aka TIE Advanced) and Assault Gunboat models from Shapeways. URL:

They are very nicely made and serve as a good reminder of happier days with the TIE Fighter video game from 1994.
All my cards are sleeved, so I may be able to just color-print off some modded cards.
