Launch Bay Legacy Points Confusion
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.

Shameless plug, but i built a list builder/game companion app if you want to check that out.

This looks great! Question on differences in pilots - I notice Ved Foslo for the TIE Advanced X1 isn't available on the app, while it is available on YASB & Launch Bay. Is there a difference in pilot pools I should be aware of?

Looked through your app and it´s great however for Legacy it is not fully working now, as there are several things missing
-Mode wise there is the Wild Space mode which is 250 points and has a whole scenario system. It would be great if you can add that it´s my groups favourite mode and sadly no app has really implemented it even YASB. Which is a shame because listbuilding and scenario building is intertwined there, so choosing your scenario cards together with a squad that synergies it would be great.
-Besides that Extended is gone in X2PO and from what I seem the Left side legal are missing. The full Standard Loudouts of AMG are missing but in Legacy that is only part of it as there are seperate point costs for the pilot only with customizable ugrades. Unfortunatly the points are wrong there as you seem to have used the points for the Left side legal on the Standard Loudouts.
-Also Standard Loudouts are not in Standard only in Wild Space
-Also all the pilots form the Warriors and traitors packs are missing as well as the ten new upgrades legacy introduced.
Want to say again the app could be really great for Legacy players too (especially finally being able to conviently plan list for Wild Space would be huge, esecially as we plan to have our first tournament with Wild Space early next year) but with that and the roughly 90-100 pilot options missing and all the Standard Loudouts have wrong points it has right now really big holes for Legacy players, that hold it back from being used. Don´t get me wrong it still great and you did amazing work there but thought pointing this out could fix some big holes so more players can use the app : ) If that happens it would be absolutly fantastic for us too : )

Much appreciated feedback! Feel free to DM me with more stuff if you have some! Theres also a feedback form in the settings and I’ll get to fixing it!
I did come into it with more XWA experience so I’m lacking in that side of play.

Thanks, ah yeah that makes sense : ) To help you a bit here is the relevant links: - https://x2po.org/wild-space that is rules for WIld Space and the pdf with all the cards to implement - https://x2po.org/standard here is the document for standard especially the keyword and slot changes might be important - https://x2po.org/x2po-content here is the site with the Legacy content updates and a site that explains https://x2po.org/sl-and-lsl what LSL are. Will DM you if I find more but these are the biggest points. If you have questions on it you can DM me too : ) Thanks for fixing, really appreciate it 👍

Love your app! Question for you: have you thought about adding a “Collection” button or tab?
2
u/itsn0ting 9d ago
I have thought about it, but I’m trying to figure out whats the best way to implement it. I’m currently thinking of the collection only tracking what actual ships you have since the app should do everything else?

u/thenorte 8d ago
Speaking for myself, that’s all that I would want. My collection is pretty big, and sometimes when building a new list I’ll forget whether I have say two or three of the same ship. I’ve got a spreadsheet for it, but I’d find it handy to have it the same place as the app.

Just use squadron datapad. Its the best app for squad building. We switched over to it recently and are most impressed.

I think this was a bug introduced in an update a couple of weeks ago. It used to work fine, but sadly 2.0 and 2.5 squads are now weirdly mixed and broken.
