Given the lack of Armada news and fairly stale forum activity recently, I am just gauging interest in a community driven project where-by we got through the design process of a new ship.

Each week or so would bring about a new design phase; starting with a discussion about which ship should be designed (based on faction need and current ship roster), then moving to what general role, upgrade slots, speed, defense tokens and price range of that ship, then the ship cards themselves and variants, followed by titles and some upgrades and finally play-testing and tweaking.

Regarding which ship/s should be eligible, I would suggest the project in essence create Scum ships. Although I know this is not universally wanted, the advantage would be it would not impinge on FFG's releases and also around clarity that this is a purely community driven project which could extend to multiple ships and maybe even building an entirely playable faction.

I have personally created custom profiles for the ships I have purchased from Mel, but would be interested in a community collation. In any case it will give us something to do while awaiting the next wave's teaser.

I feel it’s.... premature.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this will be needed some day - just as much as I know I will be compiling and writing “ Star Wars: Armada - Community Edition” one day.

But we’re at a great place wave wise, we have worlds coming up, we have great variety of lists out there... I just feel we, as a community, should be focusing on what is “official” while we have “official” still in the works...

This kind of thing doesn't particularly interest me at this point, but if you're interested, there is a lot of this kind of content at KDY and... Crap, I'm drawing a blank on the name of @DiabloAzul 's site...

Anyway, it's a little early to be worrying about "lack of Armada news" imo. We just got a wave that shook up the game in a very major way, and FFG is pushing Legion really hard right now, so it's unsurprising to see a dip in support for games that are already doing fine during Legion's launch.

Which is all not to pooh-pooh your idea, btw. If others are interested, by all means have fun. I'm just not, for myself.

Armada Shipyards is DA's site.

I'm all about custom content, but I follow what other's have said. It's not surprising that there isn't any armada news, sad as it makes me. I do think that a community edition could and would be fun, but I don't think that we're at the point where where the community edition needs to take the reins, yet.

...which, by the way, is up for sale. I've been approached by some parties interested in taking it over and continuing the project, and I'm likely to accept. If anyone wants to collaborate ( @GiledPallaeon ?), let me know and I'll put you all in touch.
