Jumping the gun here: but we're going to need a place to post links to Armada builder apps. If you post a link, please also give us your review with pros & cons.
Armada Builder App
Are there any armada builder apps out yet?
Yeah, I wonder how long it will take for an app to appear.
I wonder if FFG is missing the boat by not in-housing (or sub-contracting) their build apps and then charging for it. While I can do a number of things with online-stuff development, app building is not (yet) one of them.
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force", like if something bigger is coming...
I hope a App pops up for Armada one of my favorite things to do at work when there is no net is to play with the X-wing apps I found.
Are there any armada builder apps out yet?
I haven't found any yet. I am really hoping the guy the fellow who does X-Wing Squadron Builder gets into Armada.
Im afraid an app will not be created till either all the cards and ships have been spoiled or the game and all of the wave one expansions are all released

They may not be allowed to do any sort of Star Wars related digital applications, even if they are just related to their games.

I doubt that's true - look at the dice apps they have. I don't know how a list builder would be any different. Of course, the license contracts may make this a Byzantine affair. There's no way to know.
Good point on the dice app.
As a software developer, I'd love to do something like this. I put together a prototype for X-Wing and Star Trek: Attack Wing, but just didn't have the time and energy to finish it off in my spare time, and the market was fairly filled already. Recently, I've seen several application developer openings listed on the FFG news feed, and something tells me that a universal fleet/deck builder app might be potentially coming from them in the near future.
I would absolutely LOVE for that to be my job, as opposed to thinking about competing with it as a hobby. But FFG doesn't support telecommuting, and I'm not cut out for the cold. So if anyone from FFG is reading this... Give me a shout when you're ready to open an office in Atlanta. :-)
Hello,
I think, I will release something over the week-end...
Stay tuned !
Awesome Fab! Your X-wing builder is the best of them all!

I love X-wing Squadron Builder. I'm looking into building a similar tool for Armada, but I can't promise any deadlines.
This http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/ is the best Xwing builder. Simple and easy. I hope to see something like it for Armada.
There's this too.

Not an app in the common sense, but looking good so far.

That's may favourite one too - quick and simple to use. I really hope he does an Armada one.
I've been watching Fabs develop -- and like it very much. It's a bit tricky to run on the small screen of my Galaxy S III
If you are familiar with it, J Galvez Alegre's X-Wing Squadron Builder has about all the bells and whistles my "smart" phone could comfortably run.
Maybe I need to upgrade my phone?
Hello,
Just for information Fab's fleet generator v1.0 had been released : http://armada.fabpsb.net/
bye
Any other news about Armada builders?
No idea,
But Fab's is broken. When you add the neb b, and put any upgrade on it, the neb b dissapears from the editable area. Tested in both Chrome and IE. The points are still taken out, and if you look at the list view, the neb b is still there.
But you cannot upgrade it in any way.

Brian Black has done a great job creating Battlescribe data files:

Although the app lacks any info on each card, it is a handy way of building lists. As there aren't many cards ATM anyway I know what most of them do so its not an issue.
