Who here would like to see an Imperial Assault mission builder similar to the X-Wing mission builder currently in open beta on the X-wing page.

The IA assault mission builder would allow you to make skirmish and campaign missions and allow you to set all rules and build maps using the tiles digitally. The finished product would look very much like the campaign missions in the book provided with the core game.

I hear Descent has a similar program that allows you to make maps.

What do you guys think?

With X-wings mission builder currently in open beta, do you think we could be seeing one for IA within the year?

Edit: Here is the link for X-wings current mission builder.

That would be amazing. The main thing I want from this game is additional missions, and it would be great if the community had the tools to make them.

I think this would be a great idea. I fear it would be too complicated however. But as a purely campaign player I would love it. It would be great if they would include a Hero card builder too so you could make new heroes. The lack of additional choices is unfortunate.

Great idea!

yeah, it would take some time and good coding skills. as well as collecting all the card information, fonts and symbols.

I would love to try put together an alternate Aftermath mission, just to create a varying starting point

I just added the link to X-wing's mission builder that's currently in Open Beta so that people can take a look at it. All the tools are there that could be used for IA and in fact looks more than capable to be easily transfered over to IA with some small coding changes and all the assets.

Even just being able to create maps would be awesome.

Yes! It would be great to make my own missions!

Excellent idea, especially if there's a way to work in a 3rd player for a skirmish.
