Fab's squadrons generator => News & updates

By fab74, in X-Wing

Hello,

I will now use this topic to communicate regarding the Fab's squadrons generator, I will not create a new one each time I will publish a new version.

NEW address : http://x-wing.fabpsb.net

The release 5.4 is now online :

- Wave 6 Scum and Villainy is no longer in BETA mode
- Creation of a sub-menu under "EXPANSIONS" to access the easily the following items:
Pilot list
Maneuver list
Card list
- Modification of the convert feature for the "Most Wanted" expansion pack to take into account the ship base availables
- Improvement of the "MATH feature" with the possibility to select a currency to evaluate the cost of the builds

If you experience bugs or if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact, it is always a pleasure to help you !

Thanks fab!

Do you need a scan of the hired gun Y-Wing pilot card for scum?

Thank you again for your hard work one the site. It still remains my favorite list tool.

Excellent list building tool.

The Scum & Villainy Hired Gun and Spice Runner pilot cards have no images.

Does some weird things with M-3As. Gives them the Heavy Scyk title without allocating any of the appropriate gear (Missile/Cannon/Torpedo)

Hi PHRAETUS !

There is probably something to improve on it, keep in mind that there are no missiles in any S&V expansions, so if you build using only the S&V expansions if the opened slot is for a missile nothing is added to it. It is the reason why, I assume, you experience this.

Hi nathankc,

Thank you for your proposal, I get them from Skit.

Hello,

Version v5.41 on line.

I ajust the way to handle the conversion for the Most Wanted expansion in order to take into account properly the ship base print.

I also adjust the MATH feature.

Hello,

v5.5 on line, all about sharing !

Just added in the main navigation sharing buttons.

More interesting (I think), on the SHARE page, you can easily share the permalink of the builds (splited by faction) and I made also the QR code available.

Hi all,

I would like to get your opinion regarding the "convert" feature on the Most Wanted expansion.

The feature is available when you "Refine" the Most Wanted expansion, in order to specify the ships from other expansions you will use as Scum (Z95, Y-wing, Firespray and Hwk).

Do you think, it will be better to apply "first come first served" principle ?

No more conversion, in random mode, if the ship type is available for a scum firespray pilot, if he is the first choosen, it is assigned and the Empire will not get it.

Just let me know your feeling about that, in order for me to ajust the behaviour of the builder.

bye

Can't comment on the random build as I only build in manual, most often with free on and proxy cards as required.

What would be good, for me, is for the Most Wanted pack to initially set the conversions based on what rebel ships are selected. ie. 1 Rebel Y-Wing and 1 Rebel HWK-290 selected automatically sets the respective conversions to 1 on Most Wanted.

Hello,

The Fab's squadrons generator has moved !
The new address : http://x-wing.fabpsb.net.
(I put in place redirection pages, the permalink are also properly redirected manually (just click on the redirect link)

Just before STAR WARS Celebration and hopefully new announcements, I put the generator in version 5.6.

The main change is the abandon of the conversion concept indroduced with the Most Wanted expansion pack.

Now the ships are shared between factions that are used the same type of ships.
Consequently, if you own one Y-wing expansion and one Most Wanted expansion, you can have in your build 2 rebel Y-wing or 2 Scum Y-wing or 1 rebel Y-wing and 1 Scum Y-wing.

I hope it is clear enough...

So enjoy the move that should bring better performances !

Great idea! Working perfectly for me and far less confusing.

Hi all,

I just released the 5.7 version of the generator !

Find below the list of the changes :

- Icone to get a link to share your collection
- Obstacles management for squadron build
- Update of xws import/export for obstacles
- Update of the pdf generation for obstacles to be inline with the last pdf squadron sheet from FFG
- Full implementation of huge ships for xws import/export
- Add a link to tranfert the squadrons to Voidstate's builder
- Add a link to tranfert the squadrons to Geordan's builder

Regarding the export to the other builder, just take care about the Voidstate link, you will have to remove the obstacles information to properly import to Voidstate.

NB : to the link to send squadrons to other builders are on the SHARE page.

I hope you will fiind all these new features usefull.

Last point : Emperor Palpatine is there.

Hi,

Cards from "Lightning Reflexes" (Kihraxz Fighter expansion) preview from FFG added !

Enjoy !

Hi,

Last K-wing cards added !

bye

Hi,

Last TIE Punisher cards added !

bye

Would it be possible to change the print layout so that the cards are able to be read? Quite often for casual games I'll make up a squad sheet using card images for quick print and play use. The print option on the builder is close, just the cards are too small.

Hello,

Just updated the Fab's squadrons generator with the Gozanti and the wave 8 information.

Enjoy !
