Grayfax 991 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Texas. The problem is we have them at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Lowes, etc. What I need to do is draw what I need on an index card (dials, bases, cards, tokens) and take it with me and plug and play till I find the right one.

Dagonet 7,246 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) http://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Storage-Organization/Craft-Storage-Case/p/21781 This should suit all your token needs and quite likely allow you to take small based ships as well*. *just the tokens you need though, not all of them of course Edited February 2, 2016 by Dagonet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1mikethebuilder1 20 Posted February 2, 2016 How do you flip over used munitions cards or a secondary weapon that gets taken out by a crit? All I do is make X marks next to the ship that takes a hit on the printout. I cross off any abilities that it loses or spends, etc. Just easier and quicker.

Darth Emphatic 148 Posted February 3, 2016 Maybe I should stop using the Damage Deck... cause to be honest... it is the most cards in a stack that I cart around. Especially with the backup deck. Bah... who am I kidding. It's in the same box as all my upgrade cards... and all the Epic Damage Decks. Compared to the ships it is a very negligible amount of space and I don't find those difficult to card around. Except the damage deck is the same every game, the squad you run is not (unless you only play the same thing every time) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grayfax 991 Posted February 3, 2016 Partly I was being facetious... because that is a large number of cards you are required to tote around. Comparatively a squad is nothing. Maybe I'm to organized... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm to organized... I am not sure who thinks this is a space issue versus an efficency issue. Printing a list and bringing it to play will always be faster than pulling the cards needed...unless your printer prints really really really slow.

My printer used to take forever to carve the required text into the stone slabs. But then, it was a second-hand one I got from the Flintstones. 2 VanorDM and Darth Emphatic reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojanglez 2,158 Posted February 3, 2016 The cards are a waste of space and time once the game actually starts. They certainly don't do anything that a print out or digital file couldn't do, but I suppose that I enjoy occasionally flipping through them. If you don't like the cards, just give it some time and people will get tired of them. At this rate, the game is eventually going to have an obnoxious amount of cards to find space for and cart around. Precisely. It's getting to be too much. the only way i would agree it's too much is in the amount of options you have with builds when you have so many cards, but for storing and carrying to games I have everything in binders and if I know what list I am playing, I only take with me what I need. As for carrying them, I'm a normal sized human, those binders are pretty light Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanorDM 11,599 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Printing a list and bringing it to play will always be faster than pulling the cards needed... given the system I use I'm not sure how much faster it would really be. I mean you got to get the pilot cards and tokens out anyway right? Because while I might be ok with someone using a list for upgrades. Not having the pilot cards with shield tokens on it wouldn't fly with me. Putting the upgrade cards next to them really doesn't take much time. Not if you already have them separated and in order.

Not having the pilot cards with shield tokens on it wouldn't fly with me.Putting the upgrade cards next to them really doesn't take much time. Not if you already have them separated and in order.But, it does still take time. I have my cards well organized alphabetically and by csrd type. I can get to cards pretty fast, but I still have to locate the card and pull it, move to next card, and then the next ship, and the next upgrade card, and so on. Thats time not otherwise spent if I just print.No, I dont need the pilot card. The info is printed on the printout separated by ship and my shields go on the ship on the printout. I use yet another xwing squad builder. It has well organized printouts. The only things I need to pull are the ship base tile and the dial, which with my organization, is a fairly quick process and much faster than also having to pull the pilot card and all upgrades, especially every time you want to try something new. Ill take a picture of what it looks like tonight when I play. Edited February 3, 2016 by Darth Emphatic 1 1mikethebuilder1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InterceptorMad 2,007 Posted February 3, 2016 See but that is still making lists as you go. Like I said, I decide on lists to fly way before I get near a table. Everything for a list (apart from the ships) is in a baggy. So I'm not sorting through cards apart from at home. 1 VanorDM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanorDM 11,599 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) but I still have to locate the card and pull it That's the point, I don't have to locate them because they're in my kit, and only the cards I'm actually going to use are in there. So the only time it takes is for me to remove them from the kit and put them on the table next to whatever pilot they go with. No, I dont need the pilot card. I don't think I'd care to play with someone who doesn't have at least the pilot cards on the table with shield tokens on them. I want to be able to glance over at the other side of the table and see what's there, how many shields it has left, how many damage cards it has, ect... What do you do with damage cards? How do you keep which pilot has X cards on them or crits? If people you play with are ok with that, then fine. But I don't think I would be and it would never be allowed at a tournament.

Parravon 5,217 Posted February 3, 2016 The last tournament I ran, I specifically asked the players to bring ONLY the pilot and upgrade cards on their list, so as to avoid other players waiting around for someone to fish out their cards. There was, of course, that one guy that didn't and we all had to wait while he fished through a large pile of cards trying to find the ones for his list. He kept all his upgrade cards in one container and they weren't sorted at all, just shuffled in all together. But there's always that guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InterceptorMad 2,007 Posted February 3, 2016 I've never encountered that, everyone always just brings what they need. Or has it all sorted already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you've never had that one guy that is just so disorganised, it's painful? Don't worry, my friend, he's probably just around the corner, and likely to show up at an event near you soon.

InterceptorMad 2,007 Posted February 3, 2016 I've been lucky then. Do around 4/5 events a year and everyone is pretty experienced, so they just bring what they need. Have little trays to carry everything game to game, lists printed and all that. Usually we just have to wait for people to arrive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
