Ynot Squad Benchmark

By Ynot, in X-Wing

As some of you may already know I have continued "Squadron Benchmark" that was created by "Denis Wings" after not being able to contact him for months after he apparently abandoned it for reasons only he knows.

It isn't a substitute for playing the real game or for vassal to play against other people. It is simply to test stuff out against the computer or yourself to figure out optimal setups, starting postitions, etc. The AI is very simple and easy to defeat.

I have fixed a bunch of bugs that were present in the original app and continue to fix them.

My fork of his open source app can be found at https://ynot6517.github.io/bench/

The purpose of this post is to ask for help with images of the Wave 10 ships. I am working on adding them to the game but I need the top down images without any background or anything. It should just be the ship from overhead with a transparent background.

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: All ship images have been acquired! Thanks to AwesomeJedi and TitaniumChopstick for tracking some nice ones down for me!

Wave X ships in the game now:

TIE Striker - generic pilots only - no title

U-wing - generic pilot only - no title

Upsilon-Class Shuttle - generic pilot only - no coordinate action - no title

Update - list wave x ships included now

Thanks - this is exactly what I need. 1 down, 4 to go.

4s12sM-TopView.png will this work as a placeholder until a better image can be provided?

Found this on deviantart. This is by "Ravendeviant."

Version 0.10.0 is up. The TIE Striker has been added but only the Generic pilots (Imperial Trainee, Scarif Defender and Black Squadron Scout) are available. No title or other upgrades from the Striker are there right now. I had to make some changes to allow for the Striker's 8 2 speed maneuver choices. Denis only had it programmed for a max of 7. I wanted to put this out and get it tested to make sure movement is fine.

Once I have all the images and all the basic generic pilots in, I'll start to work on the upgrades and conditions.

Great news. Looking forward to testing it out.

I got the bottom image from this to work with a bit of editing.

I'll add the U-wing after I get home from playing the real thing tonight.

Found on the Rebels wiki

upsilon_class_command_shuttle_ortho__new Maybe the second one on the top left would work? Best I've found for the Ups so far.

I'm so excited to fly the Striker! Thank you so much for adding it! Any guess on when you'll get the uniques in there too? Pure Sabacc is pretty easy to proxy for now, so I'm not in too much of a hurry

Just tried the Striker.

Two Black Sq. Scouts + Twin Ion Engine + Snap Shot and Two TAP Baron of the Empire + Deadeye + Twin Ion Engine + Title + Homing Missiles

against Paratanni.

I only lost one Striker & Ventress flew herself off the map. I don't think I've ever had such a quick victory against that list & I doubt I could repeat it (I'm not a good pilot).

Anyway, I wanted to see the Striker's odd flight characteristics in play, but it seemed to fly almost like a TIE f/o.

It will get better, I'm sure.

Is there a quadjumper anywhere? Thanks very much for finding these!

Was the full scope of heroes of the resistance added in? It was missing a few pieces, as of 48 hours ago

What was missing? Some upgrades are a work in progress and don't work but all the pilots should be there.

I just added the U-wing with the Blue Squadron Pathfinder pilot but no titles or upgrades yet.

After all the pilots from wave 10 are in I'll get to work trying to finish off all the upgrades and fix the ones that aren't working quite right.

Unfortunately it is just me at the moment working on all of this. I have 3 folks that are hopefully going to help but I haven't seen any fixes from them yet.

swx61_diagram4.jpg This is probably the best we're going to be able to do for the Quad, as I've spent like 4 hours looking and gotten nothing else.

Looks like the image of the TIE Striker isn't the final one that I fixed the ratio on so this will get uploaded today.

I pulled the image from here and edited it. Still have to do the transparency layer and then it'll be ready. The "reverse" maneuvers on the other thand will require some new coding...

Thanks again Ynot! I'm teaching 10 new players and this is invaluable

I know trick shot was missing, but that's the only one I was looking for.

Thank you Ynot. Really appreciate what you're doing.

Hot Shot Copilot is missing, also.

Hey Ynot, could you do everyone a favor and give the TIE Strikers a crew and bomb slot?
