Having just gotten the fancy dial upgrades, I have run into a slight issue that I think would be a good addition to the various squad building programs. It would be helpful to have the dials associated with each ship listed when printed. Not the maneuvers, but the label on the dial. For example, A-Wings have 2 differed dial labels depending on where it came from (Both SWX08 and AW for example) Having the dial(s) listed will save time when getting ready at home and make it easier on TOs if a dial question comes up.
Squad builder authors, a request
This is such a small issue that I didn't even know the dials were listed differently.
Its not even that the dial might be listed diffeently in separate packs. Hes just asking for the builder to show what dial numbers/skus are associatd with a given ship so you can easily see if you have the right dial.
I love this idea and hope X-wing Squad Builder's developer reads it... My dials are now sorted with each ship to help me keep track but if i mix them up it can be a real annoyance to figure out what ship it was.
Also massive props to Jesus Galvez for X-wing Squad Builder. What i would also love for him to add is a way to donate some money to him for a fantastic piece of software. He mentions a thanks to donators but i don't know how to donate.
I like this idea and would make things so much easier.
That's the basic idea. I am trying to condense my collection to carry and only having to store the maneuver portion of the dial in active storage will save a ton of space.

It's literally not an issue at all if you aren't using the dial upgrade kit (the ship code on the dial is otherwise always hidden).
If you ARE using the dial upgrade kits...yeah, it can be a pain. I mean, do you know offhand whether SWX17 or SWX19 is the dial for the ship you want to use?
Agree with this suggestion - printing out the dial code #s for the ships would be SUPER helpful!
I passed this on to Geordan. No promises, as Geordan is almost surrealistically lazy. I mean, if Homer wrote a sequel called The Slothening, Geordan would be the hero. It would be the most boring epic ever, with Geordan's only real contribution being, "I hate CSS, so I let somebody else code that part."
Is there somebody having a record of that in order to not forget anything ?
My understanding is that this feature is spcifically helpful for those using the dial upgrade kit ?
I printed some labels my self for the little boxes I store each ships supplies...
than I just look at the ship symbol, take it ouzt, play
after playing I just disasseble the dial upgrades, look at the numbers and shortcuts I also printed on the box labels and return everything....easy

Hello,
I deliver something that can help you. Under the maneuver table you will see the dial references. I decided to list all the dial reference for the same ship.

Just provide a feedback.
yup, that is exactly what I am looking for, just a dial notation on the lists
So, you have it !

This seems to be a pattern with X-Wing software developers.
Hey, I resemble that remark! Also, im not sure Ive ever written css in my life, so theres that
