Ship cost & other informations

The data come from Guido Kessels’ project xwing-data2

Quickbuild Data

The data come from the following quickbuild references pdf available on https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/x-wing-second-edition/ :

• Rebel Alliance Quick Build Reference (v3 dl on 20 Sep 2018)
• Galactic Empire Quick Build Reference (v2 dl on 19 Sep 2018)
• Scum and Villainy Quick Build Reference (v2 dl on 19 Sep 2018)

Change from the FFG references

Some pilot names are corrected (eg. Lieutenant Kasarbi -> Lieutenant Karsabi)

Point cost vs Threat level

In FFG quickbuild, the threat level is not a real indicator of a ship cost. As stated in the rulebook p.15:

QUICK BUILD This mode of play offers players a way to create a squad quickly using predefined selections. Each ship comes with Quick Build cards that list different options for that ship. Each option consists of a ship card, a number of upgrade cards, and a threat level (a number of bars 1–5). This threat level represents the approximate strength of that particular combination of pilot and upgrade cards.

Nevertheless, whether you prefer the point cost or threat level, both are printed on the cards top right. For the curious, I’ve noted that usualy the correspondence is the following:

Threat	Cost range
1	0-30
2	45-55
3	70-80
4	100-135
5	105-125
6	110+

But there are some exceptions such as:

• Rebel’s X-Wing pilot Leevan Tenza is threat 2 for 71 points
• Rebel’s U-Wing pilot Cassian Andor is threat 3 for 60 points
• Scum’s Quadjumper pilot 2x Jakku Gunrunner are threat 2 for 80 points
• Scum’s Quadjumper pilot Sarco Plank is threat 3 for 51 points
