Squad Builder

By Croste, in X-Wing

Found a new squad builder for the iPad. Aurora.

I'll look into it. thanks.

Aurora SB is great. Quick updates and simple. I prefer it to battlescribe so far.

I use Aurora too. Nice and simple to use.

can also use it to Cross Squad List. which is nifty.

nothing like having to do 3 separate lists and trying to do math and realizing math is hard.

I wish someone would come out with one for Windows phones.

Is there one that lets you add individual cards to your collection? I'm sure I'm not the only one trading upgrade cards and ships, lol!

Agreed.

I just loaded it and like how it works so far!

Second this. All of the squad builders I have used so far have only full expansions options when locking in your collection. I have a dozen or so upgrades I have purchased individually or acquired from tournament play that are not able to be represented.

Can you define your own collection in Aurora? I find that feature really helpful in other builders.

I'll definitely give this app a try, but my main concern when first discovering it was that development only began a few weeks ago. I'm not saying this will be the case, but a lot of apps fall off in terms of development and upkeep very quickly. Hopefully that isn't the case with Aurora and that it's here to stay!

Battlescribe has been reliable thus far because it's been around for a long time and its data repositories are constantly being updated. Stats and abilities of leaked ships often make it to Battlescribe before other builders.

Yea, I usually just add all three factions to one list on Battlescribe just so I don't have to switch back and forth.

Does anyone know if there's a SB for the Kindle?

I'm the dev for Aurora Squad Builder. I hope to get a version of it out for WP at some point, but not sure yet when it will be or which version(s) of WP it will support. I'm currently trying to get the finishing touches on the android version.

The plan is for development to continue long term. I wrote the app because I really wanted a squad builder on my phone and its what I use myself for all my lists so I have incentive to keep it up to date. (I need to update for the gozhanti article still - been really busy the last week - but the wave 8 spoiled stuff should be in there).

I'm planning to add in the ability to enter your collection in the next update. I can definitely look into adding individual cards as well. In addition to trading cards it would be useful for alternate art cards from tournaments.

I have been using this for a few weeks and really appreciate you putting the effort into this.

An OTA update is now available for Aurora squad builder to add the new cards spoiled in the gozanti spoiler artivles. If you have automatic updates enabled it should show up on its own. If not or if you arent seeing the new cards, you can check for update manually from the settings page.

Anyone know a squad builder for a Windows phone?
