A shout-out to Ransburger - Hero of vassal Armada!

By MattShadowlord, in Star Wars: Armada

Ransburger has done some amazing work on the vassal armada module, and deserves more credit. Two international tournaments wouldn't and couldn't have happened without him.

And if all goes well, he'll soon finish adding the new ships and squadrons to vassal, giving more people a chance to try plans, ships, formations and strategies before going to tournaments and friendly games with their amazing model ships.

It's not easy work, it involves things like maths and computers and I dunno like angles and stuff, so from those of us who enjoy the fruit of his labours:

Three cheers for Ransburger!

Three cheers for Ransburger!


(and do please increase the number of ship orientations to 64 like I suggested)

Thank you Ransburger!

Indeed. I'm in a fairly isolated part of Arizona thanks to the Army. The closest group is an hour and a half away. Vassal is the only consistent way for me to play. Thank you so much for the hard work.

Thankless work, so I'm glad someone pointed me in a direction I could throw thanks in. Thanks man!

I don't use it, but I very much appreciate the role it has in growing and maintaining the game. So thank you Rans, for your fine work.

HIP HIP! HUURAY!!!

Is Wave 2 out on it? I've been itching to play!

I might end up in Arizona but not for at least half a year or so. . .

And I will be gone in March. I'm only here for CCC. Gotta love the military life =). Are you heading to Huachuca or Davis-Monthan?

No idea. . . Not likely. Closer to Phoenix

That's where you want to be anyway as far as the Armada scene. Tucson has a decent scene going and Phoenix is very active.

Currently: play-testing phase.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!! Send me a PM if you want any help with the testing =)

Same!

If only vassal was a bit more intuitive. I tried but got completely lost trying to find out how to select my ships & upgrades and then placing them on the playfield.

This is very, very easy.

Get online with someone - or read the Guide. Either works. Setup takes 5 minutes, after which you can save your setup and load it in seconds the next time.

Everything is RIght-click for action menu, with tons of short-cuts once you get the basics down.

The new large-base ships look great... as do the new smaller ones and the squadrons.

You've something to look forward to!

When can I try out this sexiness for myself? Can I help test it as well?
