Releasing a half ready version is extremely poor planning and poor customer relations.

TBH the entire 2.0 launch looks like a case of poor planning and poor customer relations:

- All wave 1 cards will be in the conversion kits...except some of them

- You won't need to buy multiple factions for cards...if you're willing to wait for several waves

- You'll get this awesome X-wing damage deck if you pre-order... Some of you will anyway

- You'll get the app on launch day...but it won't really work very well.

The game still looks very solid, but everything else has been quite disappointing.

Slave 1 doesn't seem to add the torpedo slot.

Too bad there isn't any 'clone ship' button

So hull upgrade and shield upgrades are showing as (0) points for me and do not change my squad point cost when added or subtracted. Ugh.

At least it's super pretty and intuitive compared to yasb. Hoping this will be fixed in few days... or weeks. You really should have made beta public, ffg.

Exactly, release it a month ago and have a bug reporting feature. Get this **** ironed out. 0pt shield upgrades? Ugh!

Marauder doesn’t add gunner either

Looks like it requires a login to save, print or export squads, therefore no-go for me. Back to third party builders or pen and pencil method.

Just going to point out that is uses the exact same login you used to post that comment. ?

Why are you against using an account you already have?

Because it's slower, i'm not logged in that account on half of the computers I'm using and I often want to quickly create a list, print it, use it once and forget about it afterwards. I understand why logging in is good for saving lists, I don't understand why its needed even for a list that I don't intend to save.

Logging in lets you update your collection so it knows what lists to let you build. I'm assuming its also the mechanic that will let you sign into OP events and upload lists so we don't all have to scribble **** down on dead trees anymore.

And? Everything you describe is a good optional feature. But once it's required, it makes the app useless for me personally 90% of the time, so YASB and dead trees it is ;)

I dig that. I also agree that logins are a hassle, which is why I'll just wait on the ios version. Plus, YASB2.0 is not only functional, but also hates Dee Yun. DOUBLE TAP OF WIN!

It's... disappointing to say the least. Apparently they haven't figured out how to correctly implement upgrades with variable cost, so putting Engine Upgrade on Falcon costs 0 points. Not to mention lack of even the most basic and obvious features such as presenting a ship's dial, cloning a ship or presenting a condition card when appropriate. I guess I'll stick with YASB for now, thank you very much.

WTF, half of the Rebel ships are missing from the Extended format squad builder.

This might sound snarky, but...did you scroll down the ships list? I see everything there.

I can't scroll down. I noticed there's some more if you zoom out, but still can't see all the ships.

Edit: Okay, I found the razor thin invisible scroll bar in the middle of the page. Not a great ui imo.

Edit2: Okay, and so why are K-Wings and U-Wings available in 2.0 only squad building?
