You still can't log into the official squad builder webapp if you're using the Firefox browser which has about equal market share to Internet Explorer. It returns an error code. It's been out for two months and there are still people who aren't able to log in. :wacko:

...I can.

After reading all the comments, I'm starting to see what others are saying that the "official" app is bad. Also, why people are saying YASB 2.0 is the way to go.

Overall, this whole app thing is discouraging. Basically, you have to "plug in" your game to make it work. Also, the fact that the official app is worse than 3rd party apps/programs actually says a lot! I'm starting to think that maybe going down the X-Wing 2.0 rabbit hole is a bad idea.

I only have about two dozen v1.0 ships, and this isn't even enough ships to justify buying the conversion packs, so I think I might bail on X-Wing and move onto a different game to spend my hard earned money on. Maybe a game doesn't need to be "plugged in" to make it work.

Nothing wrong with staying with 1.0 or playing HOTAC.

You can also implement a few 2.0 changes into 1.0, like barrel rolls, to make 1.0 better.

If others in your area are upgrading, maybe each choose a faction and just upgrade that or group buy the kits.

These are good suggestions, and I really like HOTAC, but most of the X-Wing players in my gaming club have given up on the game. Much less wanting to upgrade their large collections to 2.0. The few members (including myself) that remain are now also drifting away from X-Wing (1.0 and 2.0).

Also, the new Battlestar Galactica game seems to be the new interest in my gaming club at the moment, and this game doesn't need to be "plugged in" to make it work.
