Dear FFG: 2.0 App Request (half points tracking)

By HanScottFirst, in X-Wing

Dear FFG,

Please add some way for the 2.0 App to tell you how much half of your ship is worth; especially because all ships can get half points now! Running a swarm having each ship slightly different in point cost sounds like a head ache to track half points on, so if half points is built into the app, that would be nice!

Granted, it's not that hard to figure out, but in a tournament when your mind is focussed on the game, it can be like "Wait, is half rounded up or down for odd HP ships?" and "If the ship is worth odd points, is the MoV up or down?" It would just streamline things, be very simple to do in the app, and make figuring out MoV slightly faster for tournament play.

Some ideas:

> Have in parantheses after the total ship cost something like this: "(D: 4, Pts: 27)." "D:" is how much damage to get the ship to half points, "Pts:" is how many points half damage is worth. So, in the example, at 4 damage, that ship gives up 27 points.

> Or, just add "combat mode" to the App. Once you build a list, have the ability to toggle it over to Combat Mode, and use it to keep track of shields and hull. The 2.0 App could thus give you a running total of the MoV as you play.

They’ve mentioned that the squad printouts will have half and full points shown on them.
