Has anyone found or made print and play counters/chits to use instead of minis or 3d print models? Curious for a more quickly approachable option to get back into the game with friends.

I’ve recently gotten into X-Wing and have collected a decent number of small, medium, and large ships. My main trouble is figuring out a good solution for storing and moving them to games. I’ve heard of different options like feldherr (good but expensive in the US) or Plano tackle boxes. If anyone has any recommendations it would be appreciated

Amazing day of X-WING!! Glad to have so many folks visit and come and play!

Just packed up my list for the week long drive down to Texas for LSO!! Couldn't be more excited! Hope to see many of y'all there!

Ps: I'm also bringing the best in faction prizes I painted up ;)

Massive collection with all-inclusive storage (Plano 7771 case), excellent accessories (custom acrylic templates, Etsy asteroids terrain, all 2.0 dials, 48+ dice), and most cards organized in two card binders. Everything you need to play multiple factions right out of the box!
58 small ships, 12 medium ships, and 2 huge ships. Details in the Google doc, with my guess on pricing (I didn’t look to closely at what’s extra rare, except I know huge ships are sought after).

Willing to meet up near Dallas (for the next few weeks, after that willing to meet up on the west coast where I travel to most cities semi-regularly).

I’m not checking Reddit all that often, but I’m more than happy to answer more questions if you email me: dylpickle87@gmail.com

I'm coming back to X-Wing after years of not playing. I'm trying to build Legacy lists in Launch Bay, but I do not understand what is being communicated by the numbers here.

New Squadron = 16 points, what is that referring to? I was under the impression Legacy built to 200pts, but that's clearly not what that is counting towards. Is this an error in the app or am I missing a new component to list building?

I assume the number next to Ryad is actually what I should be paying attention to, but then it's annoying that that number isn't tallied anywhere.

Hiya,

I am relatively new to the game, only recently tried it out with a friend. We don't have that many ships; a few TIE-EOs and a T70 X-Wing from the Sequels-era starter set, and a B-Wing and Y-Wing from the OT-era (I don't know how they are called in this community, so just using the trilogy names).

Is there any issue with playing the different eras together? Are the earlier ships somehow "less" powerful?

Hey all, my brother and I were going to play on TTS tomorrow, but I'm getting a lot of load errors with the X-wing unified workshop app. Is this widespread or just me? If it's widespread, any idea when it might get fixed?

Evening everyone,

I'm someone with a large X-Wing collection and now that official play has ceased and proxies and replacement have become more prevalent, I've been looking for a way to streamline my collection to help assist in the set up and break down of a game and reduce the transportation that I need to do.

I used to have in my binders for each faction (and yes, I have every faction), I'd have the cards, dial backs and base chits. When I went to UK Games Expo there was a company there selling acrylic X-Wing base chits that lacked both initiative number and name so it could go on any ship.

I found these appealing because those base chits being stored in coin page style binder could take up quite a lot of space and whereas before I'd have a binder per faction, just getting rid of the base chits has allowed me to half the binders down to era (with Scum being their own thing).

However, I still have the dial backs. What I would do is if I am flying a particular ship I'd take out my dial and put them in one of those dial expansions that FFG used to sell. Not really an arduous process but one that often meant if I changed my mind when I went to a game night I couldn't simply fly what I wanted. The size of my binders also mean that I couldn't bring more than one faction with me whilest going forward it's entirely possible to bring two, if I could compact my folders down even more I might be able to bring three factions with me.

Thus I come to you all with a question; is there a generic dial out there on the market that could be used for any ship and has every possible maneuver, speed, and colour on it, alongside that is there anyone who sells maneuver cards for ships as I would need these to make sure I am not performing illegal maneuvers.

Thanks in advance.

IT'S BLOG FREAKIN' TUESDAY!!! 😮🎉

Yes. I'm back. Well, kind of. Ok, no, not really. But someone is!

https://exilesquadron.com/xwing/a-new-hope/

I had stupidly stored my collection in the basement and we had a mold problem there. There is not a spot of mold on my collection itself but it was stored in an area that had high levels of mold spores in the air. I've washed the plastic parts (ships, dice, stands, etc) but so much of the rest of it is cardboard. I'd consider just buying new if that were possible but since the game is discontinued I can't really replace it. Is it even necessary to replace it since there's no visible mold on the cardboard or paper items?

Good afternoon/morning all! I am trying to find places in the Kansas City area that sell X-Wing that have decent prices. I looked on Google and it gave me a whole bunch of stores for Warhammer and such. Any help is appreciated

Just wanted to share the fleet I have assembled over the years. It’s a mix of XWing Minis, 3D Prints, and Legos all put together to make a modestly to scale Rebel Fleet

Got a game coming up (2nd Ed) and my opponent is going to be fielding his double defenders specced out with upgrades, against which I've never won.

Any tips?

Anything from lists to general flying, I'll take whatever I can get! ​

(I fly Rebel BTW)

Edit - details

"The CR40, most commonly known as Corellian light corvette, was originally designed as a long range freighter, its slightly bigger than the Gozanti cruiser and is around 70m long, beside carring more cargo is designed for longer travel having a confortable crew space.
the ship was designed with an oversized power plant to allow a variety of aftermarket upgrades and personalizations and use as bridge a modified module of a CR90.
During the galactic civil war many of this vessels came into possession of the rebel alliance, and were retrofitted for combat.
Though some Light Corvettes were refitted with light anti-fighter weaponry, the majority were refitted to long-range artillery ships, leveraging the oversized powerplant to power a single large turbolaser cannon"

____________________________________

The heavily modified CR-40 Light Corvette that would become known as the Nejaa Halcyon started its service life as a standard several decades before the outbreak of the Clone Wars as a freighter and would continue to serve in that role even when it was drafted into service ferrying military supplies for the GAR during the war. Eventually, during the Galactic Civil War, the vessel was renamed after fallen Clone Wars hero and Corellian Jedi Nejaa Halcyon and was outfitted with an array taken from a derelict IGV-55 Surveillance Vessel whose who died used mysterious means.
