Holographic Objective Markers

Hmm, are there any capture and hold type missions? I could see someone buying the rebel and imperial logo to show who controls it.

That's exactly what I'm doing with my set. Based on what we've seen, quite a few of the missions depend on who's holding the OBJs at the end of the game

It seems like using them in this fashion would really warrant a minor redesign so you could take magnets to quickly and easily swap them and have them hold securely without needing to struggle with trying to fit securely in and out

They have an 8mm tall post that slots into the base, they're designed to be easily swapped without magnets.

Having a few rebel and imperial would be awesome. But maybe a clear neutral to show it's not captured. Sure you could just have them without the emblem, but that's not as flashy

Already have that design in the cutter!

These are sharp (and nice name) OP! I’m still on the fence about the game but I will definitely order a set if I decide to try the game.
I haven’t seen much about specific missions, is there a reason we might need to keep track of specific objective numbers? Could just engrave numbers myself but it might be something to add.

As of the missions in the core box, you won't need specifically numbered objectives

I love the look of these and how affordable they are.

Thanks!

Are you the creator? If you have other color plastics available, FFG's Imperial Assault miniature game uses Rebel and Imperial markers to denote objectives that these would look amazing in, in place of cardboard tokens. The game uses red, yellow, blue, and green I believe. I know myself and many others on the subreddit would eat them up. (r/ImperialAssaultTMG)
Edit: I originally looked on mobile and didn't see the alternative colors for factions. Same point though, I'd totally buy a set of Rebels/Imps with one of each color.

I do have other colors available (including the ones you mentioned) and do have plans of releasing designs and bundles specifically designed for IA.

I've had alot of fun making these, I've got several logos available, trying to flesh out most of the factions I think people will want to be supporting. You can find them on my Etsy at: https://www.etsy.com/listing/583224676/holographic-objective-and-condition?ref=shop_home_active_1
"The enemy has captured a command post"
Exactly!
I've noticed you have some designs for the other tokens, and they're all pretty neat. My only concern is your particular design for the Order Tokens.
Since you need some way to randomize them, cutting the order shape out in the center creates problems because it's impossible to put them face down and shuffle them, and putting them into a bag makes it kind of rough because it's pretty quickly easy to grab the proper one without very difficult searching for more than a second.
So I've played about 20 games with my prototypes of the order tokens, and specifically tried to cheat with them in one game just to see how noticeable it is. It's super noticeable that you have your hand in the bag for longer than needed to pull the tokens.
With that being said, I've got aternate designs being prototypes right now since I was planning on doing multiple variations anyways.
IMO it's more about the thought that you might be cheating with those tokens than how viable it actually is. I'd rather use something that left absolutely no confusion regardless of how impractical it actually is to cheat with them. Just my 2c.
