Hello whoever you are out there,

First of all, thank you very much for your effort in making us a builder that's pretty awesome! I've been using it and its quite good.

(Only one bug I can find remaining)

(Bug - Don't know if this is a true bug or not, or due to slow connection confusing the builder - Sometimes squadrons are not calculated correctly. )

---

The below requests are mostly trivial. Thanks for an awesome builder.

Requests:

Card info - In general, there's a lot of info missing on a lot of cards that are very important.

1. Ex. the defense tokens.

Do you mind at some time updating the info text to include these on ships and named pilots? They are helpful to determine how sturdy a ship or pilot is.

2. Which cards are modifications? That would help to just get people to remember that you can't have 2 mods.

3. Speeds, the speed chart would be nice.

6. Some form of saving. I work around this by just editing a text file on my computer.

Thanks again for your efforts. I know this is probably not a big priority for you and you don't get much out of doing it, but if you have the time, it would be awesome.

Bump. Does anyone know who this is?

I don't, and no offense to the other authors of other builders, but SWAFT is my favorite by far. Even with the bugs and missing info. With an update and some bug fixing, I am ready to make a donation through Pay Pal.

Hi, since wave2 has hit and the builder has been updated. I wanted to bring this back.

Again. Thank you, whoever you are for working on your builder. Its great.

For those of you who would like these fixes, help do me a favor, and help me bump this thread or let the creator know.

Continuing problems:

The torpedo boat has a turbolaser slot, not ion cannon.

The unique crew/title bug is still a problem. (You remove a title from one ship, but cannot put it on another.)

new problems:

1. the printout page doesn't even have the title of the list in there anymore, which was really nice before. The first few lines are also redundant and not that helpful. I don't need to be told this is a fleet summary, nor that this is an empire fleet.

2. Requiring us to fill out the objectives makes us better players, but its also really annoying. Sometimes I just wanna put some ships together for listing, then work out the objectives later.

- At the very least, please add the text to the objectives so we can quickly glance to see what they are.

3. Your original way of adding the point cost of the fleet commander was actually a helpful learning too. It let people see immediately if they were putting too many points on one ship. Assigning the commander at the top lets you feel like you can change what ship becomes flagship, but its kind of misleading.

- We saw in worlds how the champion reduced points lost by putting his commander on a CR and not a AF.

Also, the Torp mc30 does have a turbo slot not an ion slot. so thats no bug

Yes, I'm saying that it should have a turbo, it currently is listed with an ion.

I was confused I thought you were talking about nevetz's builder, thinking it doesn't have these bugs??? Lol on the same page now

Yes, I'm saying that it should have a turbo, it currently is listed with an ion.

ahh, your post could be read either way, and since I don't use this builder I didn't know, lol. Funny that.

THANK YOU CREATOR FOR BESTOWING US WAVE 3 PREVIEWS. AHHHH.

Thank you thank you thank you.
