I would like to thank everyone who helped me with squad building ideas in another post that I started. A brief background of me, I work in the fire department and during our down time at the station is when we would be playing X-Wing. We don’t have the time to build squads so I am working on some prebuilt ships so we can just grab and play. Squad size is not too important to us for this kind of play as long as the points are somewhat close. The idea is to pick a few ships and go at it and have fun. I have built some ships and I would like to get opinions on the individual ship builds. I will be getting a Tie Fighter expansion pack so I will have those pilots and upgrades. These are ships we would like to use. Here is my list:

so my understanding is that you want to skip the build your squad part of the game so that a group of randoms can just jump into a game.

try this. they have a random squad generator. it would make for some fun games.

you can tell it what expansions you have, and what points you want to play at. and it just makes 2 lists for you.

This is a fantastic site. This will work great. Thanks for the heads up on this site.

Something I have done for a while is to keep a list of various squads in the binders that I have the pilot cards in. I probably have eight pages for each faction now, so all someone has to do is pick one that looks interesting and it tells them what pilots and upgrades to put together. Speeds things up quite a bit.

If I ever want to play X-Wing, I plan at least a day or two ahead making squads, then everything's pick-up and go.
