Card images in the Squad builder don't exist anymore, only the associate artwork. So no more copypasta from the Squadbuilder.

Use these links ("P" is for pilot, "U" is for upgrade):

https://sb-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/card_art/Card_art_XW_P_1.jpg

https://sb-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/card_art/Card_art_XW_U_1.jpg

To switch to different pilot / upgrade, go into the URL and manually change the number right before ".jpg". Interestingly enough, Wedge is pilot 1 and Crack Shot is upgrade 1.

Hope that helps, don't know how up to date they are.

I built and have been maintaining an online card browser, starting back when FFG released a video of them flipping through the initial 2.0 reveals. I’ve updated it for all cards through last week’s releases. Below the card image there is a box with the image address in it that you can easily cut and paste even on a mobile. Hope this helps.

I thought the xws data files would have the latest card image urls but it looks like the latest stuff is missing

Patience & Extreme Maneuvers links are missing

I've been updating xwing-data2 with the links I've culled from FFG articles. I did the newest pilots but haven't gotten to the upgrades yet.

This is the best source. Also great if you want to print a visual of a list for table play, which is great when iterating through a bunch of different lists in a game day.

Which method are you testing here?

Looks like the squad builder server that hosted images is no longer accessible

R2 Astromech

https://sb-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/card_images/Card_Upgrade_53.png

results in an Access Denied error.

Hopefully Atomic Mass Games will make the images available again but I'm not sure where their head is at regarding online assets.

An interesting question though...What impact will this have on TTS? Do they use the same link as the squad builder to get card images? Probably not, but if so this could impact online games.

Looks like both FlyCasual and TTS are affected as well...

A lot of the community tools were caught flat footed when FFG shut down access to the card images. But we will adapt. You can expect the card browser I linked above to be fully operational later today. I’m positive the other affected tools (TTS, Meta-Wing, etc) will be back online shortly.
