While I agree its sad that rebels didnt get a custom ship, saying that they got nothing But a few astromechs is a bit misleading. 5 of the 8 new pilots that werent for custom ships were rebel, theres 2 rebel only crew (even if I dont love that biggs is a reskin of an existing card), a hwk title, a new system, and a new tech. And a couple of those astromechs could be pretty good

Well, i mean... i'm really not surprised that Rebels didn't get a new ship. The only submissions for Rebels was like, 3 different Stealth-Xs and my V-Wing, neither of which could compete with GUNBOAT and TIE AVENGER, let alone the far more popular scum V-Wing and the iconic Lady Luck. Then of course for upgrades, everyone is going to make upgrades for the ships that made it, which was Scum/Empire only. Rebels had no chance. A thing to consider for next time, just to ensure that every faction gets at least ONE expansion.

Because Rakaydos is kind of right, the only good Rebel builds for this tournament are basically existing archetypes with a few of the new astromechs.

The rebels did get a good amount of new T-65s, but no real T65 fix, so I'm not sure we'll see those T65s a lot in the tourney.

I submited my chiss clawcraft for rebels as well. A couple of the t65s might be viable due to being priced cheaper than they should be on the normal x-wing pricing curve due to there not being a fix, but dunno. I do think ooryl could pair well with finn crew on someone (and/or biggs. Oh, biggs rolled 2 blanks? Yah, let smake those focuses instead)

That's an awful lot of points devoted to one ship whose job is to die. The T-65 pilot abilities may be good, but so are a lot of existing T-65 pilots. The machine is the reason why pilots like Luke and Wedge aren't flown, despite having fantastic abilities, because the ship is incapable of keeping up. The fact of the matter is, unless one of the pilot abilities changes the way the ship flies on a basic level, it doesnt matter how good the ability is, because there's already better options available to Rebels, AKA literally anything else.

Is it to late to get in on this?

When do we expect to begin?

I'll send out match assignments at midnight on Oct 11. You can sign up until that time!

So...I am not the most tech saavy guy around, that's for sure. But is it just me or is this Aurora Squad Builder extremly anti-user friendly?

Cannot seem to figure it out.

I've never had any trouble with it, but if you want to ask VaderLegion a question about it, he's the one who runs the app. To get the custom cards you go into the menu -> settings -> include custom card league. Frankly we're lucky to have app support in the first place!

If you don't want to use that app, you can always make lists manually using the cards listed here: Custom Cards

Oh! Im super happy to have app support! Didnt mean it to come across otherwise. I simply cannot figure it out lol. I did as you said already to include custom cards.

The problem I am running into is when I click rebel imperial or scum there is no list of ships populating. I cant figure out how to actually have anything show up to select from.

If you're talkinga bout tapping the tabs at the bottom of the main Squadrons screen, those are just filtering squads you've built by faction. To create a new list, hit the + button in the top right. That'll let you set a name if you want, number of points, faction (defaults to whatever tab you're on, rebel if you're on the 'all' tab). Once you create it, it'll take you into that squadron, from which the + button in the top right will let you add new pilots.

You can swipe from right-to-left (on ios) or tap and hold (on android) on a squadron to edit the name/points/faction (a lot of people miss this) or to copy/delete it, same action to copy or delete pilots from in a list.

Ah haha. Perfect! Thats all I needed, thanks Vander. I was indeed clicking those tabs. Didnt notice the +. So to answer my original question... it was indeed just me!

When I signed up for the tournament all it asked for was email and Vassal user name. When/where should lists be submitted?

First round result- Kdubb beat me 50+ to 0

My Rebel Deathstar killed 1 (8 health1agility) ship a turn, but his red dice found my exaust port before I could destroy a third target.

AmI alloweed t modify my list between rounds or am I locked in?

We can modify. You don't even have to fly something remotely the same as long as it still has 1 of the custom cards.

Correct

So when is the next round?

I probably won't need much time to make the matches for the next round after I get all the results in. Match results are due on the 22nd

Odanan and I are trying to get our game done. We figured out yesterday that we had the time zone difference wrong, which explained why we weren't having any luck meeting up for a game...

Just finished the game with VanderLegion. 100-40 (I can't believe I won)

Thank you so much for your patience, Vander.

GUNBOATS FTW!!!!

Sounds like gunboats are doing pretty well; let's see if that winning streak holds in round 2! I should have assignments ready on the 23rd, I'm just waiting on one more match to finish.

Think it might have been worth making the PS2 gunboat 17 points after all

Well, of all the custom ships we made they did seem the most competitive. But I'm interested in seeing how they do against a decent to hard counter style ship. Like a good arc dodger, turret or ace variety.
