Customizablity Features of 2.0 Squad Builder?

By Tharcas, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Some questions on the v2.0 Squad Builder:

Will it allow custom game types? For instance, could I have a game type where players can mix faction ships? How about faction ships AND upgrades? Can I make up a game type where I require certain upgrades (either pick one or more from a list or you must have single choice)? Can I disallow certain upgrades? Will I have the same choices of require or disallow for ships and pilots?

Would I be able to share a custom set of build restrictions so others can use them?

I think it would be cool to have a flexible app that does all of the above. It would be great for private tournaments!

The app won't be out until September 13, so we won't know anything until then or until a more in-depth FFG preview.

What @theBitterFig said. Though I doubt we’ll see the level of sophistication you’re looking for right out of the gate. Maybe eventually, but I expect it to essentially be functional for standard play at the start. That’s how most apps/web designs go.

The one feature I would love most at launch is to be able to print a standard ship list form. One thing I liked about one of the squadron builders was that it had that feature. Given my handwriting, I need all the help I can get in that department.

Ha! My handwriting is the same! Printing squadrons is an essential feature yes!

Im curious on how the layout is. I really love startactics squad builder as it is easy to view multiple card txt and scroll through them.

Not a fan of yasb on mobile. It's a little more tolerable on desktop.

I hope they have custom options bc not everyone is going to like a specific type of layout.
