Another plea to update Mission Control with more ships and tokens

By TheNewShmoo, in X-Wing Mission Control Technical Support and Feedback Forum

I just wanted to add my voice to those who have would like to see updates to the Mission Control which adds ships and tokens from new sets released since wave 6. This is a great tool, but it really looks neglected when it doesn't include ships that were released over 8 months ago. Here is a list of stuff that would be useful additions to the Mission Builder:

Ship tokens for all expansions:

- Imperial Raider

- Assault Carrier

- The Force Awakens Core Set

- Wave 7

- Wave 8

Ordnance tokens:

- seismic charge

- proton bomb

- ion bomb

- etc...

Mission tokens. There are a ton of great tokens that could be useful for creative mission builders. Here's a few for starters:

- debris clouds (YT-2400 and Decimator)

- new asteroids (TFA Core Set)

- mines (TFA Core Set)

- active & dormant sentries (Imperial Raider)

- etc...

Don't forget some of the more abstract tokens that may not seem to have an obvious use, but could be useful for missions that require a unique token/marker:

- escort (YT-1300)

- active charge (Tantive IV)

- prototype (Imp. Aces)

- smuggler (YT-1300)

- damage tokens (Imp Aces, Tantive IV, and many others)

- action tokens: evade, focus, cloak, shield, etc

- other non-mission tokens: ion token, ordnance token

- etc...

Really, just add all the tokens and let mission builders decide what would be useful. You can organize them by groups to make it easier to find the correct token as the list gets larger.

Another thing that would be great is have large table sizes as well for larger games.

Yes, please, FFG. Mission Control is a great tool, but half done it grows worthless very quickly.

+1 ... please ...

+1! A great tool, but if not updated it's useless!

Agreed....and make it searchable on mission type. How can I find mission types that I want?

As Self-Appointed Grand Poobah of Mission Control I demand that these calls for an update be heard!

I've never posted anything here. I want this so badly.

Hear hear! It's also a good tool for planning epic formations. Needs to be updated!

Hullo?

How do I get on mission control? All the links i find like to something that just takes me to the forum home page?

That link doesn't work for me, is it only available in the US or something?

I get re-directed to a sign in page which then sends me to the community home page.

Odd; I do know you need to be signed in to go to mission control, but you obviously have an account. You could try contacting FFG support directly.

please please please +1

Pleeeeease!

+1, new to X-wing and found Mission Control a couple days ago. MC has amazing potential. I hope it gets some love and updates.

"Fly Casual" article took up all their casual department's budget. Sorry guys, it ain't going to happen. ;)

Is it my turn to post in this thread this week to talk about how it should be fixed? I lost the schedule, but I know someone hasn't posted in this lately and I haven't done it. Sorry if I'm taking someone else's scheduled time to post about how this should be fixed in the faint hope that some FFG person might send this up the food chain.

I haven't looked at Mission Control in awhile. How behind are they on ships, tokens, etc.?

If they want us to support Mission Control (which we want to do), then they need to support their own tool set.

Yes please, update the Mission Control with the ship missing, at this time i have to use other software, but this for me are the best ad simple to use. But without the latest ship are notg so usefull!!!!

Yes please. I love this part of the site, but, it needs more ships in order to create runs for the games for today. So yes please.......more ships. Thank you.
