Simple automation app. Does everything that it claims. The automation can be a little dumb at times, but overall a good app. And it's free!
Loved this back when I was playing 1st Ed...took a hiatus from X-Wing but now back playing 2nd Ed. Any chance of an update to this app to 2nd Ed?
Quite useful for solo play. Got all the ships now - thanks for the shout-out, Jon!
This is useful for testing out different squad lists and playing solo. However, it can make poor decisions such as flying past the intended target despite being within range. I would recommend dividing up the circle into three zones and the ability to tap and drag to let the AI know that the target is inbound or retreating. Much like the Aturi Cluster AI system. While there is an app already, it doesn't have much options to choose from all the ships that are out. I think this app has great potential to be a good tool for effective solo play.
Well done implementation of Herkybird's rules. Minimize abilities for the ai or judge for yourself.
This is a great app and has been really helpful in running practice games to help me learn to fly newer ships.
THIS HAS NO TUTORIAL, DOESN'T DO ANYTHING, AND IS A USELESS PIECE 9F JUNK!!! IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!
Takes the X-Wing single player rules and accelerates the process tenfold!
Very well put together app. It would be nice, however if we could provide current heading for the closest ship. This would help pick actions. Also would be nice if it took into account abilities and upgrade actions into account, and also toggle stress and target lock for indicating a pointless action.
Good app. I am confused about somethings.... how am I supposed to controll two AIs? If a critical hit makes a AI lose an ability or gain a bad one, how is the AI supposed to know this?
Sweet, thanks!
No longer crashes. Updated my phone to Marshmallow.
Thank you for this great App!
Solid app for solo play
I am a little confused can the AI have cards on their ships and should i use terrain? Other than that pretty cool app.
Not sure I am using it right. But practicing my a wing a interc. It seems it just randomizes 5 straights more then anything. I can be behind it and just 5 straights. Or I edge past it so behind me five straights. I am seeing more then anything long winded moving toward the edge for the "flee".
Easy to use app that greatly improves on the solo experience. I find it funny that the AI will sometimes fly right off the play area for no reason, but I guess that is akin to a distracted player. Its all in good fun.
Only nitpick I have is that it isn't terribly obvious how to use, but once I figured out that you're supposed to touch the circle where the enemy is, everything clicked and I like it. Extra star because it's my only opponent until I find someone to play with me.
This app does what countless web apps have tried to do and failed. A simple AI for x wing miniatures that has an intuitive interface and can quickly and easily switch between ship types. Highly recommended
This is much better than the Web App similar to this. Ive had fun practicing when I cant get a game.
A very clever idea! Love the elegant implementation The voice is also a nice touch, specially because you can mute it once the novelty wears thin.
Excellent player aid for playing X-wing solo. Thank you for making this! :-)
This is very useful for learning the game, trying out different setups and just playing when you have no opponent. Only issue is the starviper doesn't seem to get the segnor loop manoeuvre.
Does nothing.
As a 1.0 player that has to many ships to convert this app is awesome. They need to add huge ships and ships should always do beneficial actions like using droid card to repair damage first. Example, using R2 to fix Luke's X wing even if he doesn't do a green maneuver. Also, AI ships need to turn toward target locked enemy.
