Squad List topic faction identification [Scum, Imperial, or Rebel]

By Budgernaut, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm just gonna throw this opinion out there, even though I doubt it'll take hold and will probably be buried in a day or so.

In my opinion, it would be extremely helpful if the topics in this subforum indicated the faction. Personally, I have a lot of interest in reading and critiquing Scum squads, but not so much in Rebels and Imperials. I find it frustrating having to click through many different topics because I don't know which faction it will be about. In many cases, it's clear from the title (ex. Poe's escort .. need help), but in other cases, I have no idea what the topic is really about and particularly don't know which faction (help for my first tournament, which build to take?).

I think it would be extremely helpful if, moving forward, we added a tag to the topic title. For example: "which crew to take? [scum]". I think the ideal would be to just include enough information in the topic that people know a little about your list before you click, but these tags would be helpful, tool.

I know I could just click the the little arrows to the right of the topic and see the first few lines of the first post, but unfortunately that only works on my computer and not on my dated mobile device. And besides, the idea is to help people quickly find lists they are more likely to be interested in. I think if the regulars in this subforum started doing this, even in obvious cases (i.e. Twin YV-6666), newer folks would start to see the trend.

Do you think this would be helpful? Is it a bad idea? Is it a good idea that will just never catch on?

I think it makes a lot of sense, in my meta I see almost no scum, and I don't fly them, so I feel there's little need for my input.

I agree with the OP and would really appreciate it if posters would do this.

What if we had subcategories for each faction?

I like the idea but I like browsing all of them too

I also support this, as I generally only care for Imperial info, though sometimes don't mind strolling through the other factions.

That being said, there is an argument for getting a snapshot of what the other factions are thinking up, since you're likely to run into something from here at an event.

But I'm for the split as well.

I fully support this, I belive is a great idea and simple to do too.!

IMO it could be just [R] or [imp] [Reb] [scm]
