Does anyone have good-looking images for all the ships' maneuver charts, specifically ones that are appropriate for me to upload to the wiki ?

I would have already nefariously stolen them from the YASB 2.0 site but I definitely want to ask permission first (I'm not sure who would hold rights to them).

A maneuver chart on every ship page is one of the things that's missing on the wiki. Once I have the images it's super-easy to add (it's just a line in the template), but assembling the chart is laborious and I don't have great icons available at the moment (I'm no artist).

Thanks!

@raithos and @J1mBob both might be able to help out. raithos is the great guy that set up YASB 2.0. J1mBob set up allot of 3rd party web resources for 2.0 including a Dial cheat sheet generator which could be used as a starting point. Try messaging one of them.

J1mBob's dial cheat sheets: http://infinitearenas.com/xw2dials/

done that just a few days ago : https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/284905-maneuver-reference-cards-second-edition-wave-1/

but it's maybe not good-looking enough and hard to upload to the wiki. I made them from Excel if u want the file...

@Hiemfire Fantastic, thank you! I've started by messaging @J1mBob .

@_Zek_ Thanks, those are pretty cool. I don't need the ship ability listed though. This is going at the bottom of the ship infobox, e.g. on pages like TIE Advanced x1 and Darth Vader , which already display the ship ability. I think I might go with J1mBob's version if he's okay with that, since they're such a polished & consistent look. That said, yours is a solid option too; I'll let you know!

Ugh... looking at those pages on the wiki, I'm reminded I hate how bad my maneuver chart looks. The icons are too small in a sea of black. I'm looking forward to replacing it.

If I wanted to, I'd be linking this at least once every day and there would still be people who are not aware of it yet:

Thanks to the link, I'll add that to the wiki.

But how do I contact the author to get permission to make images from the dials? (edit: nevermind, looks like it's @sirjorj )

With permission, I've extracted out the maneuver images from J1mBob's dial cheat sheet and I've started adding them to the wiki (e.g. here ). I'll have to do the rest later in the week, as it's past 1 am now and I've gotta work in the morning. But progress!

Thanks everyone for the help! And thanks to @J1mBob !

Edti: or to put the above more succinctly: "Today I worked hard pilfering someone else's hard work. It felt good."

Go for it!

Since I have so many cool people following this thread already, I figured I'd ask: Are there other tools or resources that I should add to the wiki ? I've gotten pretty busy over the past month, and I've been remiss in my linking duties. I'd love to collect great articles, charts, threads, etc that I can link to from either the wiki front page, or from individual pages (e.g. Dice ), to help new and veteran players alike.

And if anyone think of anything and wants to add the link themselves, Wikia allows anyone to edit it.
