This is no small undertaking for those of us with OCD. Everything is laminated, glued to millboard, sleeved, etc. The turrets are magnetized, the minefields are colored orange along their edge and the book is in color and spiral-bound. It took me about a month of my free time to complete. Some day soon, I'll start a 3 ship solo campaign.

Nice work, the edges of your plasma storms look quite smooth. What did you use? I tried a number of methods before just settling in my scissors.

I cut them with scissors as well, very carefully I might add. I have pretty heavy OCD. Any "hangnail" slivers left by the scissors were trimmed with an X-ACTO knife.

That's definitely far prettier than either of our two sets. Which, I imagine, would drive you insane, lol.

I would like to try and do some side quest expansion with Scum being the antagonist much like in Imperial Assault. Just got to work on Scum AI (which will be diffrent from Imperial AI in terms of target and action priority, bugging out, and other things such as individual quirks). I'm thinking in like making them optional side quests much like in Arkham style games. The reward for fighting the pirates instead of just going after the Empire, Allies. You could pick up a Bandit or a Rookie Pilot for your Wingman (Because to be honest Z-95s are only good for allies and are terrible ships to be flying in this campaign).

Example of a Scum Action algorithm. (Theme, dead men can't spend credits)

  • If inside firing arc (boost or barrel roll only to get outside of firing arc)
  • If unable to get outside of firing arc yet still inside firing arc take evade action.
  • If outside of firing arc (or actions were not met in the above) and has no one in firing arc, boost or barrel roll to get enemy inside firing arc unless it put you in another firing arc, (ignore firing arcs if unable to escape).
  • Focus action

I know I'm really late to the party, but where do you get the HotAC? Is it downloadable? Can someone post a link?

Loads of fun. I'm only a few missions in my campaign, but the only way I can get my wife to play X-Wing anymore. :lol:
