PLEASE Update the Squad Builders

By Schu81, in X-Wing

Hello everyone!

We all know, that the Programmers of Squad Builders are VERY important people to the XWing Community.

Thank you for your great work, we appreciate this very much.

But once again, we need your help, as the whole community is waiting for the new T-65 and U-Wing cards to become available in the Squad Builders.

I guess it might be difficult to implement this time, as (for example) the Renegade Refit doesn't only take away 2 points from the ship, but it does also give a -1 point on the particular Elite Skill, plus a second slot for Modifications. This has to be programmed into the Squad Builder. It's not just a random additional card.

But we really need these! :D Please give us the option to create great new Squads filled with T-65s and U-Wings.

Apart from that, I would really appreciate, if the Coders of these Squad Builders (on PC, Iphone, Android ) would come here and say hi, so we can finally say THANK YOU and leave them a like to their forum post.

Has anyone got a Patreon link for @Schu81 ..?

Hey. You know that thing you do for me for free?

Do it faster.

BTW X-wing Squads Designer (google+) is already updated.

Just for your information...

I am using the Startactics XW Squad Builder on Android most of the time.

It can be used for free, but you can also become a pro user when you donate.

That's what I have done. I am a donator.

Oh yes, and supporting some more people on Patreon is a great idea, too. Who said I would be against that?

I just love it, when people imply greedy behavior or are getting offended on behalf of others, without knowing the backgrounds or simply by ignoring half of the text written.

I have clearly said, that those programmers should be regarded VIPs. I clearly said, that we owe them our gratitude. And I have also said that I would like to learn more about them, who they even are, how we can support them.

Arschbombe, der Name passt zu dir.

Launch Bay on iOS was updated that night as well as the Fly Casual game. Been having fun theory crafting some lists. and playing them against AI.

I just downloaded this for android and it seemed to be missing all the new stuff. Is there a web app or something I am missing?

Aurora for iPhone is already updated.

Yeah afaik most are already updated. YASB is the big one missing.

I've offered money before to some designers and they refused it. I've also paid other designers who have buttons on their sites. Not everyone expects things for free, so don't be so snarky about it. Thanks!

This was the reply from one of the major squad builder designers after I offered them money too: " Don't worry about it -- knowing that it's useful to someone is good enough for me! Thanks for using it. "

What version do you have? Mine is 1.74 and has all the new stuff.

My version appears to be 1.68. I found the Check for Updates button. A download progress bar appears, then downloads something, but then I don't seem to have any option to update the app, nor can I find whatever file was downloaded. I'm curious: where did you get this app, I cannot find it on the Google Play store?

You would think that, but it is not calculating the -1 EPT cost, so you still have to do some math if you are not running generics.

Hi, I'm the developer of this app, which I think is up to date.

The issue you are experiencing probably has to do with your Android version and permissions given to the app. I'd recommend downloading the latest version and installing it over the old one (don't uninstall, and you will not lose your squads). I'd you have further problems, you can contact me through the g+ community.

Download the apk from the g+ community (link in the app) or from swx.mygamesonline.org

@dmborque Hi, thanks for the response. After my post I was able to find the g+ page and download from there. Seems to be working just great. Is there a feature that allows exporting in XWS?

Click info and instructions at the bottom of the main screen. It explains how to export lists.

Yay! :)

So glad to see, that "Yet Another X-Wing Miniatures Squad Builder" has been updated

I just wish the X-Wing Squadron Builder would get an update. It's been since Wave 11, but it's my favorite builder.
