Ooh, good catch. I'll fix that tonight. (But why would you ever switch out Palpatine?)

"The Emperor is coming here...?" I've added Emperor Palpatine to my builder (URL in sig). Since he takes up two crew slots, when you equip him one of the other available crew slots will be disabled. If you don't have enough room, you won't be able to equip him. As always, let me know about bugs, suggestions, etc. etc. (So when are we going to see a 4-crew slot Jabba the Hutt?) Edit: typo

There's a regional at FFG today, right? Looks like they're streaming now: http://www.twitch.tv/ffglive

If it could be implemented in something free and cross-platform like Google Sheets, even better.

The amount of sloppiness by the XXB player is painful. Not steadying the template, bumping the template everywhere, pushing the ship back past where it should have been, and picking up the ship and placing it forward without using a template on a straight bump -- at the top tables, you shouldn't be seeing stuff like this.

Evacuate? In our moment of triumph?

The four most important words in every successful house project are "F@#! it, good enough" Not so much for software projects of course. Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I hope not. That's the single worst thing FFG could do. I think saying "we're not making any more X-Wing stuff ever again" is the worst thing they could do. "We have transferred the IP license to WizKids." Touché.

It's over here: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/176115-mathwing-killing-diversity-in-the-game-since-2014/

I'd like to go with Fab's suggestion for obstacle naming (which I've proposed to add to the XWS spec for canonicalization): https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/130950-x-wing-list-juggler/page-12#entry1613903

I'll add that to the to-do list -- it's something I've wanted too.

Export from YASB to Voidstate and Fab is forthcoming!

Hi all, I've added the option to include obstacle silhouettes to the printouts from Yet Another Squad Builder (URL in my sig), so you can circle the ones you're using when you go to a tournament. By default, this option is off. This is an interim solution while I figure out a way to save the obstacles as part of the squad list (really, a way for you to specify the obstacles that doesn't suck when you're using your phone). As always, feedback, suggestions, bug reports etc. are welcome.

Now I kinda wish the ship were named the TIE Castigator.

It's inevitable, so I might as well do it... What's your source on that? I believe it was mentioned in the interview with Alex and Frank a couple months ago? But I don't recall exactly.

Sure thing. These are the forums, after all. I don't want to speak for MajorJuggler, but he has on occasion expressed that his model could have been used to augment development and playtesting: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/122707-whats-changed-in-x-wings-strategy/page-16#entry1282702 https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/140754-do-you-think-ffg-do-more-play-testing-to-avoid-having-so-many-unused-cards-and-ships/#entry1515701 (These are from a cursory Google search.)

Uh, no? (Emphasis mine) Antecedents are hard, I know.

Maybe we should come up with a formula that spits out a single scalar value to measure fatness. Call it a Build Maximization Index, or "BMI" for short.

I'm also uninvolved and unbiased, and I think you're wrong. TIE Pilot is the real winner here, and I'll be willing to argue that point for several pages. The proper thing to do is to start a separate but nearly identical thread and rehash the same arguments there.

Let's play X-Wing!

Emphasis mine: [citation needed] [citation needed]

That's a bold statement. I'd guess the vast majority of new players just play the game instead of checking the forums for what they should play. People give MathWing way too much credit for shaping the meta. If there were some list archetype that could be consistently successful that wasn't predicted by MathWing, I suspect we'd have seen it by now given the number of Store Championships played. (There are nearly 3,000 lists entered in List Juggler, and that's only from voluntary reporting.) I highly doubt every competitive player is a mindless slave to MathWing.

Do you mean quick loading into Cryodex? Don't think we have that going just yet. If we could set up a quick export from List Juggler to Cryodex, though, we might have something, since you could scan the QR code in the YASB printout/punch in the Voidstate ID to load players and lists into List Juggler fairly quickly. How easy would it be to create a Cryodex tournament from a List Juggler export? Except I think you need a Facebook login to get a Voidstate ID, which complicates the process. I wouldn't encode full XWS in QR, but a URL that could return XWS. Much smaller and easier to scan. The QR in my printout scans easily on my phone in remarkably low light conditions. Ooh, I'll look into that.

I'd like to add this image to the XWS spec as a reference, if that's all right.
