I'm not sure anyone was expecting something like this for X-wing, and I have to say it's a great idea. That said, and accepting that it's a beta, there are a number of important features that feel like they're missing:
- More colors on areas. Rebel/Imperial setup is great, but obviously we're going to need one for Scum soon, and others for objectives. No real reason to limit it to just Red/Blue.
- Alignment/snap to grid for the map. Especially for setup areas, having to align the areas pixel-by-pixel is annoying.
- More backgrounds.
- Keyboard controls for rotation/movement/deletion
That covers mine, I'm sure others have more
