Kuat Drive Yards - Armada Custom Card/Dial Maker

By ThatRobHuman, in Star Wars: Armada

"You can't be Judge, Jury and Executioner... So just Judge."

Vong, Ssi-ruuvi, and Chiss have all been added to the "Legends" factions. I hope you're aaaaallll happy :P

(I kid - go nuts, kids)

Welp, time to get knee-deep in EU.

"You can't be Judge, Jury and Executioner... So just Judge."

I got something for that...

" Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will also be judged."

(I'm getting bored of quoting Star Wars)

*Achem*.

Once I've finished slugging through Black Sun, I want to have the Zann Consortium as a faction please. :)

Not sure about the colour. It seems all the other factions have used orange already :angry: .

Yuck. Sounds like you're about to wade into something horrible :P . Best leave it untouched eh?

I found a picture for your first Vozen Vong thing on the Kuat DY site, one your creation. See what you think.

(I basically copy-pasted the name into google images. This was the first hit :) . Hope it's correct as I have no idea what I was looking for, just can't bear to see a card without an image).

That reminds me, I still need to write that article for "How to cheat with images" for higher-resolution.

Would be nice.

Images are tricky - to the point where I'm close to giving up. Some hints as to good formats would be most welcome!

Zann Consortium has been added

Cynan, if I could trouble you for an IPV-1 Squadron silhouette when you get a chance.

Thanks for this tool, I've always been a fan of player made content and KDY just makes content creation so much easier. I had a question regarding printing though, I printed some new objectives and they came out bigger than the standard cards. Did I forget to check a box or otherwise mess up my printing somehow? Thanks for all your hard work!

How much bigger is bigger? The cards have a bleed built in (even with the bleed, though, they are slightly larger than FFG's cards, reason being that FFG's cards don't QUITE match what they claim they are)

Also, if you couldn't tell, I've been hard at work on making more Hapan ships - feedback is always appreciated.

Hey whare is my Corporate Sector box art? :rolleyes:

I need a good graphics program. I miss Illustrator...

You basing your Hapans off of an official bunch of ships? I am not familiar with any of the designs.

Edit because Ninja'd

Fixed!

Nope! The models are actually from EVE Online, but I think they are designs that fit Hapes well. The stats are Wild-ass guesses - I don't really have a lot to go on for the Hapan ships, except they make extensive use of grav-wells and according to some sources, inferior turbo-laser tech, but I've chosen to ignore that source.

Same goes for the additions I've made to the CSA and will be making to the Mining Guild.

I'll get a picture for you later but they're maybe 1-2 cm too big for your standard sleeves as a (very) rough estimate.

the squadron cards (for example) should be 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. There is a 0.125in (or 1/8th inch) bleed around every edge.

Feel like doing the classic Hapan designs as well?

If I can find decent art of them, sure. I'm only aware of the Nova, Battledragon, and My'til Fighter. Are there any classic designs I'm missing?

Those would be about it. I was actually looking for suitable models in the Firestorm range to be your Hapes but then I had a thought. What about the upcoming Sheltari from Dropfleet Commander?

I was actually thinking of doing conversions of the Dindrizi for the Zann Consortium or Mandalorian Tribe ships. I'm tempted to see about opening my own shapeways shop at some point... just saying.

I can get behind that.

Ah that would make sense, I just measured and the way I have them cut puts them at 2.75" x 3.75". Thank you for confirming that it was just my mistake, I'll have to have another go at them later on.

Good to know for my own trim later.

the PDF files are designed to work with a Silhouette cutting machine. I have a Cameo that does wonders, but it should work with a Portrait, too. Granted, it is an investment, but if you're like me and cutting out cards all the time, its worth it.

FoaS, is there a way I can have the print que simply allow me to open and save the high res image instead of the PDF print file? I ask because I can use an outsourced printer for the the layout and cut job.

Ah ok I have to use snap shot, then import it into photoshop elements, and save it as a jpeg. That makes things better.
