Thanks. Now I just have to figure out how to put it on my card without Photoshop.

If you're using the Windows OS it has MSpaint. Assuming you know how to select/copy/paste.

I use it a lot, I’m just not sure how to just get the background color right.

If you know how to get a blank color transparent, say if you set the background color of the program to white, and the the image to transparent, everything white will become invisible. I can erase everything but the black if you know how to set the white transparent. Actually, I can make the non-black transparent by default....

Resizing it will probably mess with the images own transparent background, but if you know how to set that white to transparent then it doesn't matter. Removing the background was easy. I selected the black parts, inversed the selection, and then cut it. I used the paint.net 4.0.19 program for that.

x_wing_miniatures___custom_upgrade_by_od

I approve of this upgrade. But shouldn't it be more like 2 points like VT or Targeting Computer? If that much, since similar to Chips it requires you to be paying points for other upgrades in the first place.

Ok. I’ll try it tomorrow.

I'm curious, do you think a card like this would have ever helped your swarm list flying? I've been flying larger TIE swarms lately and I find being able to do alignment barrel rolls afterwards helps keep everyone together.

It's a good idea, but I don't know about the wording...

2 points = excellent card that would make it into several ships (A-Wing, E-Wing, TAP...).

3 points = more balanced, I guess.

Would it though? It means you can't take chips, and unless you have free action you can't utilize it very well. I guess you could try some jank to like, PTL reload on some of those ships but you're just chasing points on points at that stage.

Like, to put it on an A-Wing, this is 3 points, on top of not going -2 for Chardaan and then you have to pay at least another 3 points for a missile and hope you live long enough to be able to hit it twice. It seems like a huge surcharge for something like adding an action.

Yeah, looking that way, you may be right.

Well, here my version of Autoloader, the Ordinance Reloader.

It only costs one do to the limited pool that can equipt it.

The word is... ORDNANCE. Gah!

Ordinance is a piece of municipal legislation.

Thank you.

I didn't have time to do mockups when I made it, but I did a theorycrafting bid talking about some different ways to add/use the reload action in a video a bit back.

Ok. That’s one edit I need to do, but until then....

Pilot: Yeah! Look her go! Time for another run. Fires dozens of documents on his target.

Pilot: Karabas!

Karabast*. :P

Hey, pamphlet runs were serious psyops back in the day. And I'm pretty sure TIE Bombers could drop propaganda leaflets in Legends.

@Odanan, you remember these from back in February?

Now I found a better image, here is the new version of my Partisan title:

x_wing_miniatures__custom_upgrade_partis

Helps the U-Wing too, and doesn't block the much needed X-Wing fix.

Why didn't you show the whole fighter? Is this image also missing a piece of the wing? I'm not going through that again.

If the point of the card is to add an illicit slot, why use a title when you could do the same thing with modification? "You may equip a second modification." Modification & Limited.

You're also spreading your sentences to wide again. For example in the first line hit enter after "2" and it looks cleaner.

I got tired of waiting for this card...

Double Ace pilot = 10 kills.

What about Ace of Aces?

Isn't that just top of the list? Like making the top ten list. I'll trying to design another one if you can define it.

I'm not - at least not until the Blue Squadron is in this game. (and I sick of the Rebels crew)

But you are welcome to do it (I'm sure you will do a nice job).

Test card. Would this help bringing 2 attack ships to the table?

x_wing_miniatures___custom_modification_

Is the 2 attack limit even needed?
