Voidstate's is great looking, but I do not have a Facebook account, so it isn't too useful until I've put together something on a separate builder. Geordanr works well and lets me use G+ to log in.
is Voidstate down?
It won't let me save or upgrade anything. Which is strange because before I joined it with Facebook I could upgrade no problem
Well we are just going to have to support Geordanr's build. His is the best and has the greatest potential at the moment.
I appreciate the support -- comments/suggestions/bug reports always welcome!
Geordan, is there a way to make it more tablet friendly in regard to the drop-downs? Currently it pops up the keyboard on pilot selection (and it zooms in) due to the built-in search fields.
Well honestly it is a pity that Voidstate does not work well anymore.
But if that story about triplets and world touris true, we can't blame him for it.
Sadly it was by far the best site for X-Wing lists and even if you are not even using Facebook.
Well i guess we have to wait until the man behind Voidstate has time again.
Or perhaps FFG should thank the fans that made this game such a huge success by realising a good listbuilding tool themselves!

I'd like to get rid of this bug, too, but it's caused by the behavior of the Select2 library I'm using (there's an issue filed for it at https://github.com/ivaynberg/select2/issues/1541). I'll see if I can't monkeypatch it in the meantime.
Thanks!
Monkeypatched. I don't have an iPad handy, but I tested it on an Android tablet and on an old iPhone 3GS, so hopefully it's actually working. Let me know if I've broken anything horribly.
I wasn't able to fix the keyboard showing up for the randomizer options selector for which expansions to use.
There's a weird issue with the scrollbars for the mobile dropdown which I suspect is another Select2 bug. Oh well.
Since I use a Nexus, I can't help on the iPad checking, but it seems to be working great.
Do you have anything in the works for a more "pretty" print option. Text is fine but I like a certain few of my squads to look real good so I can hand them out to the opponent before I mop the floor.

I can certainly update how the printed version looks; what sort of features were you thinking of?
Just something with color and cool graphics added to the stats of the ships. Like something similar but not a copy of voidstate. Have you considered any other colors for the backround. Black is good but it is pretty dark. Again just suggestions and feedback, thats all.
I liked the idea of printing the cards in 8x10. If the cards match then they work great as proxies too.

My original intent was to have a printout that would be something you could hand to/show a TO and that they would be able to scan over quickly and confirm that you have a valid squad; I didn't want the printed page to be too busy. More like http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/x-wing/news/wave3/SquadList-2.png for example (I'm planning to try to replicate this format, actually). But I can look into providing more print verbosity options. What sort of data do you want to see in the printout?
Originally the webpage background was white but when I added the ship image backgrounds black worked out better (and also because SPAAAAAAACE!).

I've been trying to keep away from using the actual card images, although I could put in card-equivalents with just the numbers and text. I assume you mean multiple cards on a single page? Because an 8x10 card would be pretty huge.
I would like to see the tournament printout as well as one that shows the stats in an easy to read list that I (and my opponent) can reference at the table. I love how Voidstate updates the stat line with shield increases or Action Bar modifications if you take upgrades.
Here's something real quick I whipped up that I think is very readable, has most of the pertinent information, and prints well.

Black in middle grey, not so readable. Just do away with the background behind the numbers. Less grey is less toner/ink anyways.
True. I have no issues reading it, though. In any case it's only gray for printability reasons... otherwise I'd make it dark background and color.
It's ok on screen, but printers are all a bit different. Go a bit darker on the background and it would be very difficult, if not impossible to read. What about a black background with white text, like the title. Leave the outline white.
Whoa that's fancy. I'll see what I can do (I'm a software engineer by trade, not a designer, and HTML trickery is not my forte).
All right, you guilted me into it. Better.

Well, I like it. I didn't mention the actions, but you got those too. I wasn't going to nitpick too much. ![]()

when will you have this ready for the public =P? i like =D
