I use the AI system from the heroes of the Aturi cluster, works for 2 edition too. Very simple and works well. But good to see they think on us solo players and i will check it out !
I just play how I'd expect to play. Use 2 different squads like an ace list bs a swarm, I tie swarm is going to be predictable, fly straight k turn, rinse and repeat
You guys ought to try Fly Casual- can play on your PC, tablet, or a jail broken iOS device. The AI is actually pretty smart. I love it. You can find it on Github.
Could also play with someone on stream? Not really looked into it yet, but sure there is some bot to use for manouvre dials etc. Would really like to play Aturi Cluster on stream which wouldn't really need 'secret' manouvre dials. (most casual plafriends stopped playing with 2.0). Else Fly Casual deff...not just for solo play, can also be used for multiplay.
The rule with solo games, whether written or unwritten is: have the AI do thing that you least want to happen. Meaning, whatever causes you the most pain is what the AI does. Start there and scale it back if need be.
I like this system. I just keep it simple using 1 t65 against 2 tie fighters using the core set escalation quick builds. I screen shotted the dice roll charts on my phone and scroll through them easily. I don't take much notice of the attitude part and use actions that I would take myself.
For scum AI I would just use the target lock as most scum ship has it, and instead of movement based upon nearest enemy it would be based upon agro, but I would also give them priority of evasion and survival with a bug-out mechanic.
I’d like to see you try it out. Out of the three FFG SW games I would expect X-Wing to be the most difficult to make AI for. I mean, if it was easy wouldn’t you have made one already?
I tested the recommended scenario, it felt a bit too easy, sometimes AI worked good and sometimes it would just go 2 straight while having a ship behind it.
I might be in the minority but i kinda like heavy AI decision flow charts since I play a lot of wargames with AI rules. I know it's not for everyone especially X-Wing play which is meant to be quick play and action.
Wow. What a fiddly set of rules. I've played your card AI for armada and yes, might not make the smartest decisions but it's quick and easy. KISS... Keep it simple stupid
Not sure having AI is going to work well but either way I don’t really care. The AI decisions are not going to be what a real player would logically do because it’s just a die roll, no thought process. Pass. I’m surprised there’s not some cash grab involved where you have to buy an expansion.
I'm not sure it needs to work well, just be functional. Hardcore players and tournament players will never buy into this. This has to be for the more casual crowd. I initially thought this is a cash grab (and I don't mean that as a negative). I think FFG is smart enough to know this will help sell lots of other X-wing products. Heck, I'll buy more ships from different factions simply knowing I can get this to the table more often.

Where did you get it from I can't seem to find it anywhere?
I really need a good solo method, because I have the ships and nobody to play, I mean even when was without quarentine thing..
same as me, too sad
Abaité Toupa same

Either a live stream or recorded play-through is cool with me
Some kind of playthrough would be nice. I'm going to try it myself sometime next week and see how it goes. I'm glad to see this.
It’ll be interesting to see how this AI system stacks up against the HotAC 2.0 AI system
In the end, the official system is just easier to persuade people to use. I never know why, fan games tend to be better but people love official crap.
This has advantage over hotac. It does not require me to print tons og assets.
They just need to put this into an app and forgo all of the charts.
Maybe they will once it's been playtested enough
Crabbok, agreed. I just hope they’ll do it for their players as an added benefit. If FF doesn’t do it, someone else might. Thanks for all that you do!

Man you're fast to make videos 👍
It would be great to see a video on how to setup and play a solo game with these rules.

Thank you for linked 2.0
It is very worth to test it out.
mining guild hanger looks awesome it would be cool if we saw them more in a show that shows the scum side os the galaxy.
Would love to know where that Mining Guild hangar art is from, Anyone know and who is artist???
I wonder, if this is successful, will they release this in a box with some missions? Possibly a future release
Like to see a playthrough of these rules
Interactive live stream, please, running solo. Compile ideas/feedback and ship off to FFG courtesy Crabbok + fans.
Love your vids!

They need this for 1.0
I'm pretty new to x-wing, collected some first edition stuff for a while but yet to rarely play. Is there any solo play AI for that anywhere?
JamesN21 there is a mobile app not sure if it’s android but it’s on iOS

Only interested if it's xwing 1.0 compatible
Same here...though I am a year late, so don't know if this ever got answered.
I'm confused on what this is about
They should try and do a card like HotAc
I kinda wished they would have put this out a little earlier, because I hope that the restrictions on in-store play will be lifted soon in my area.
Too little too late?? Couldn't they have spend this time sorting out future releases??
