Startactics Squadbuilder

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

I use Startactics a lot. Dunno how it stacks up against the other squad builders, but it does everything I need it to do so I haven't really had a need to try out any others.

I love that it not only tells you what's on the cards, but it also shows the cards by default and that you can print your squad with the cards - not just text.

It's not bad. It has a bug about negative squad point items, and I don't like how you can't collapse your ship upgrades, making it a little unwieldy for larger lists.

Hey man! I just checked and the negative points are working fine (A-Wing refit).

I think he means when you're at or near your squad point max and attempt to use a negative squad point card. It doesn't always work.

Also, with the Tie Advanced Title, if you're at 100, use the title, you can't select a System modification even if it would, mathematically, come out to 100 points.

Also, I think this is a great app - the best Android option in my opinion. I was happy to make a donation because shinayser has created and maintains an A++ product.

I sent a message to the developer. Nice guy. Hopefully he'll see this and be able to address your concerns.

Never heard of it.

Or adding a Advanced Targeting Computer if you're at 99.

Usually, I use the Aurora app on my phone. Easy access whether or not I have net access at any given time.

I use that all the time. Great easy app.

This is the app I use as well. I've run into the negative point bugs a few times, but can usually work around them. Sometimes you just have to bump the point total up, and then back down once it's settled and it seems to be fine for me.

Doesn't look like it can export to the XWS format.

It also got flagged as having sensitive access to personal info in my app analyzer.

I have to say, Startactics is by far my favorite squadbuilding app! Does anyone else here use it, I don't hear it mentioned much.

EDIT: Aha, there aren't any pilots available to add. I assume that you habe to declare your selection pool somewhere? Not very user friendly

Great app! The best one out there IMO. The playpaper option is great for proxy matches. The negative point "bug" isn't a issue unless you are derping your way though the app.

Looks good. I will give it a try

Yup, you hit the button that looks like three bars at the top left and go to 'my collection' to put in what you own. Or just everything if you prefer.

I agree the workaround is simple enough, but any bug should be fixed. Hopefully the developer has gotten a bug report and will fix it

And where is this option called "everything"? I don't find it

It's the overlapping rectangles icon in the upper right after you've started a new list. Clicking that icon disables the 'collection' feature which opens up all available ships and cards. Clicking the icon back on turns the 'collection' back on and only allows you to use ships you've purchased or acquired.

Hey everyone!

Just uploaded a version with the TIE/sf preview and a fix for the TIE Advanced title.

Thanks for the reports =)

Hey Shinayser, any comments on the post from Mu0n? He said the app comes up as having access to sensitive data.

Hey man! I require the device owner's name to embed it into the "Share > Image" feature.

Gotcha, I typically just use the share text. That odd that it requires something like that. Seems like a very minor feature if it flags your whole app as potentially harmful.

I will be giving my app the Android 6.0 features soon and asking then at runtime =)
