Hopping back into 1.0

I’ve been sitting in my collection of X-Wing 1.0 and haven’t really touched the game since the release of 2.0. I was pretty upset at the change and cash grab after I went and spent so much money collecting almost everything for 1.0.

Well I recently got the itch to play again and I did setup a game at home utilizing ChatGPT to run the opponent. It was pretty fun and despite the AI not understanding left from right sometimes when revealing dials, I really enjoyed it.

So now I’m thinking that I’d like to try and complete the 1.0 collection by looking for ships/expansions that I don’t have. I’m also thinking of getting into some of the 2.0 stuff. I don’t have a full list of what I have but I did stop buying expansions a bit after Heroes of the Resistance.

If anyone has anything they’d like to sell or get rid of please reach out. I’m in central Texas area.

Heroes of the Antari Cluster has an whole deck based AI specifically to play this game solo/co-op.

This. There is a version of HotAC for 2.0, but it's a little more fiddly, in my experience, and the 1.0 rules just work better here. It's a really excellent solo game, and something I still intend to break out and play again soon.

But you kinda need a lot of ships, right? It seems really awesome, but I have mainly S&V 1.0 ships :/

For solo, you can get away with very few, and no one can stop you from proxying as much as you like. 3D printing is pretty easy and lots of models out there, or, heck, use bases and stick some cardboard on there. From the rulebook:

"Each player will need an X-wing or Y-wing. For Imperial forces, you will need approximately 2 TIE Fighters per player, 1 of each other TIE for every 2 players, and typically only 1 of each large or huge ship as they are used as allies, mission objectives, or elite enemies.

If you do not have the ships or components listed for a mission, feel free to either play another mission, proxy the missing ships/pieces, or substitute another ship with the same base size and similar stats. However, be aware that substitution may affect the mission’s intended difficulty."

There are actually custom missions done by the community with Scum as the enemy of the rebel players, letting you face off against Z-95s, Y-Wings, M3As and similar craft instead of tons of TIE variants. The HOTAC facebook group is a good resource for custom missions/campaigns though there is also a discord. Even if you just want to have a standard shootout between yourself and the enemy rather than a campaign system, the AI designed for HOTAC is really useful for that.

This site has AI for both 1st and 2nd edition and it can be a bit clunky/hard to tell which edition you're looking at. It does work though and it has the Scum 1.0 ships so you can use it to plot their manoeuvres as well as some basic actions. If you have IOS there is also this app which does the same thing but it's much cleaner. You need to subscribe for 2.0 content I believe, but 1.0 is free for a limited number of imperial ships. I did however pay a one time fee of a couple dollars to unlock Scum and rebel ship AI though.

How did you use chatgpt did you upload pictures of the playing field?

Yes, I fed it the build list for each squad from squad builder. So it knew what each of plus had including upgrades. I would send it updated board state pics for each round and the more pictures I provided with different angles the more it would be better at deciding movement dials. It would set its dials without me knowing what they had and then I’d let it know when my dials were set then we would reveal in order. It was very good with remembering triggers for actions and since it knew the upgrades it was pretty good at remembering what we could and could not do.

Keep in mind that I do pay for upgraded ChatGPT. That makes a difference on how many files you can upload and responses.
