Rebel Aces (for real) in Yet Another Squad Builder

By geordan, in X-Wing

Seems like FFG can't let a week or so go by without a reveal!


Added cards from the latest Rebel Aces reveal to my builder (see sig), except for the B-Wing card which grants a Crew slot. It's not clear if it's a title or a modification (based on the positioning of the text I'm guessing it's a mod but I don't want to commit to it as it would screw up people's saves/permalinks).


As usual, comments, bug reports, suggestions welcome!

It's a title. The text of the article says there is a title for both ships and none of the other cards in the spread could be.

Ooh, I missed that. Added the B-Wing/E title (I'm guessing that's what it will be called). Thanks for the heads up!

Oh **** son! Are you sick of steam rollling everyone with no name mook b-wing pilots? Rather have someone you can refer to by name, and not a number? Tired of the a-wing being an 'almost good ship' you just bring out for funsies and otherwise leave at home when the serious battles happen? You the ONLY person on the planet who didnt already repaint their a-wings in prototype paint scheme? Need EVEN MORE TOKENS?!?!?!?!?!

Then you need to check out the new rebel aces expansion pack.

I am that one person. Have not repainted a single ship.

How do you even get started with that?

Just saw that the unspoiled B-Wing pilot is in the A-Wing section of the drop down.

Where is it again?

Whoops. I'll have that fixed tonight. Good catch!

Are you working on the suggestion someone made about adding a menu to pick a ship then pick a pilot in order to shorten the menus?

Also, it appears the Prototype Veteran card is now called A-Wing Test Pilot, sadly.

It's next on my to-do list: https://github.com/geordanr/xwing/issues/4

I've been spending a good chunk of time on writing up test suites to double check that I haven't screwed obvious things up when I change things, and then there was prepping for store championships, and then the new reveal, so I haven't had a chance to devote actual time to it. But the test infrastructure is good enough, I think, to let me start working on features again.

Huh. Source? (And why the change?)

Source . There's a couple threads that talk about the change here. Like this one .

Cool

The source is the actual preview article. They edited it and changed the pictures of the cards.

Oddity: When attempting to clone an A-Wing with an upgrade in the extra EPT slot, only the missile slot and first EPT are retained. Examples:

Green with Swarm Tactics, Cardaan Refit, Prototype Veteran, and Stealth Device (with nothing in the slot granted by PV): Cloning works as expected.

Green with Swarm Tactics, Cardaan Refit, Prototype Veteran, Stealth Device and Determination: PV, SD, and Determination are not copied over when cloning.

Clone pilot bug fixed, card names updated.

W00t. Danke.
