Is the woman on the VI card actually a named character, or just some woman? IF just some woman it's gonna be my headcanon for Doni cause why not.

There was a bit in the Xwing Rogue Squadron book where they used an Ewok as a pilot or something.

But I don't care about that as a pilot card, I want some Uglies! A TIE cockpit with Y-Wing engines.

What I'm saying here is that Disney did nothing wrong and you can still enjoy your stories about weirdo sex slavery, body horror monsters from beyond the stars, and succession struggles among three-eyed mutants as "Legends" tales.

Is there a squad builder that lets you track your collection, and also tells you what expansions you need to buy to complete that squad? It's hard figuring out what I need to buy as a new player.

"It's a non-speaking role"
I don't think there's somwthing that does both those things, but...

The uk builder lets you track your collection, though it doesn't do it perfectly and has a few bugs (if you use a card on the list and then remove it, it doesn't always credit it back, though it returns if you close and open the list) but works pretty well.

As for finding the cost of what you need for a list there's han shopped first.

I noticed a bug for this too that it doesn't seem to actually add the value of the large ship expansions for some reason, but still a neat tool.

http://xwing-builder.co.uk/ It also connects to facebook so you have easy access to what you need. :3: The collection part tells you what you have and what you can build, but the easier way to figure out what you need to buy is by searching for "Han Shopped First."

So I wanted some acrylic templates and tokens but buying official ffg ones on ebay is ridiculously expensive. I also couldn't find any third party options that I liked so I designed a fairly minimalist set of tokens and got them laser cut myself. I'm pretty happy with the end result and I think it was probably cheaper than buying everything from someone else.



20 shields, 10 focus, 10 evades, 10 stress, 8 target locks, 4 ion, 4 crits, 4 tractor beams, 4 extra munitions, 3 cloaks, 2 can't fire, 2 ship markers, 1 of each major bomb (excluding clusters because they are bad) and a full set of templates including split range rulers.

I love the templates, but won't hear a word against Clusters. Those things are vicious if you can swing them onto a big ship, as I learned much to my chagrin. They also cover a pretty big part of the board if you can position them correctly.

I'm not sure if the numbers work out if I try to sell them because I have to pay someone to actually make them, then the mark up to make it worth my time might be too great. If I had a laser cutter of my own or could sell enough of them to get a bulk discount it might make it worth it.

I might run some numbers to see how feasible it would be.

Out of interest, how much would you be willing to pay for the whole set? It has essentially everything you would need for any 100 point game.

Would you be more likely to buy things piecemeal instead of the whole set?

Clusters cost 1 point more, don't do crits and only do 0.75 more expected damage over proximity mines if you manage to hit with all 3 templates, which in my experience is rare. You can also usually just barge through with a fast maneuver and only hit a single template which isn't that scary.

I feel like proximity mines are just more consistent.

Clusters also take a lot of space up on a piece of acrylic when you are trying to cram as many tokens as you can onto a single sheet. ;)

I run basically this same list except Sensor Jammer on Whisper instead of FCS and no Stealth Device on OL.

I love the list, and have yet to lose. Whisper is everyone's prime target and with Kallus + Sensor Jammer + Palp even if VI Poe is shooting there's a good chance no shots get through, and after he cloaks he's basically unhittable. Meanwhile, it gives OL free reign to do his thing.

Nah, whisper thrives with ACD, since if you get that focus you can use it immediately with a 4 dice evade: with stygium you have to spend one turn cloaking which means that you can potentially lose shots, ACD just allows you to keep doing an attack/cloak/decloak/attack flow.
