Fab's fleet generator BETA !

By fab74, in Star Wars: Armada

v1.0 released !

New domain new server ! Enjoy !

http://armada.fabpsb.net/

So for the time being I am not satisfy with the way objectives are handled, so I will rework that for the next releases. Objectives are like upgrade cards and assigned to the capital ship.

The generator handles the 1/3 squadron point limit with the random mode. I decided to be not too restrictive regarding the manual build on that point and the builder will display an alert flag if the rule is not respected. Same thing, an alert flag is displayed until you add a commander to the build.

I appreciate the work put into this squad builder a lot!

That said, I have issues with the layout. With the browser as half your screen, you can only see one ship card per row, and that ship card takes maybe 15% of the horizontal space and the rest is wasted. Full screen, you can see 2 ships or potentially 3 squadrons side by side but the layout still have 80+% of the space as blank grey. The menus take about a whole second to pop up. The ship you are selecting a menu option on takes about a whole second to fade out and fade back in with the selected upgrade. The upgrade cards are too small to be actually readable at a glance, yet they still each take their own big grey box of wasted space. You can see your whole fleet at once, but the cards are all too small to read at a glance, and the information is all crammed into small narrow areas in a sea of grey background.

I think there is a lot of potential here and I realize this is brand new or still in beta, and I definitely am happy for the existence of an online fleet builder.

Looks awesome!

I just tried to build a 300 point rebel fleet with 2 nebulonB and 2 CR90's ... it wouldn't let me sadly build a 2nd CR90.

Hey fab74 great job. The cost of the Dominator title on your builder is listed as 14, it's 12 on the card though.

Did you have the top drop down set to 2 core sets?

I had it set to 3 sets actually didn't work.

It did work if I set it to free mode though;

Hi TrentL,

Seems to work on my side when I select 3 core-sets (in random and manual mode), could you provide more details ?

Eventually email me from the site with screen captures.

Excellent work thanks for this, I just like playing with random mode myself :)

Looks good.

One Bug, the "Defense Liaison" card is currently flagged as unique, when it is not.

totally freakin awesome

where is the donation link ;)

Needs a bump,

well Fab, you managed to curb the addiction until Wave 1 hits, but you also owe me hours of my life

great job :P

Hi Fab,

First i want to thank you for this very useful tool. ;)

Secondly, i would like to suggest if you could expand on the features by making the tool able to be used to record played games ?

It would be nice to be able to make the two opposing fleets lists and then being able to print or store as a .pdf a file where you could also record the remaining hull or shield points at the end of the game, the units destroyed, the units which survived, the victory points earned by each side, the objectives choosed and the one used, the names of players, the date of the game, etc...

I hope this function is not already in your tool and i have missed it.

Thank you for listening.

Regards.

Bug : mouseover of the "b-wing squadron" text brings up the summary for "enhanced armaments"

Major Rhymer is missing too I think.

Is there any reason there is a time out built into the web app?

If I'm building a list and have to walk away form say 5 minutes, when I come back the list is still on my screen. But the save function, and any points calculations stop working.

Found a problem with my favorite builder. If I have an upgrade card not with a ship I can't use it. Like a promo or an award card.

Thanks
