Morning folks. I've been hard at work on some updates to Star Forge features. For those of you who are new, https://star-forge.tools is a listbuilder I built with fully remastered high resolution cards, free non-commercial printing of any armada cards & ship base tokens, and integrations into T5 and other tools.

Collection View

If you check under your user settings, and click "My Collection" you can now add models, cards, and expansions from all content available on Star Forge to your collection. This also includes card variants, meaning if you own an old mini-sized version of an upgrade, you can specify that.

In addition, you can print off full expansions and individual items by pressing the "Print Cards" button in the top right. This works similar to the "Print n Play" already present in Star Forge to print out your lists, but this should make it a little easier to print cards in bulk.

Cleanup

Across the application, I've done some performance improvements and UI cleanup. You should notice things load a bit faster and the website and webapp should run much better on older devices.

Stats View

The Stats view has received a visual overhaul with more up to date data and additional features. Specifically you can check out historical line-graph views of relative commander percentages, additional stats for ships and upgrades, and more.

Community Edition Launch Retrospective

Since the launch of Community Edition, Star Forge has reached a new peak concurrent user count, and we've had nearly 15000 fleets saved to accounts since the start of the month.

We're seeing much higher usage rates for the new or adjusted items (as expected), as well as much more variety in listbuilt fleets across the board. We'll see if these trends hold true as we move away from release and the "hype cycle" dies down.

As for new stuff coming soon, sure would be convenient to play Armada in your browser...

Launch is coming soon, and we've got a round of changes to show off: Ki-Adi-Mundi and Daultay Dofine are getting text adjustments plus points drops, and the Arquitens chassis are dropping in points too.

Ki-Adi-Mundi — During testing we gave Mundi an Intel Officer timing window, mostly to stop him adding off-color dice at long range (Swivels, SPHA-T, Clone Gunners, etc.). Testing never showed it was too strong, but since this was our first piece of community content, we played it safe and explicitly blocked ignition as well.

In practice, that window created a pile of rules headaches, felt clunky, and honestly most players just got it wrong anyway. So it's gone: you can now use Mundi at any point in the attack step, like other attack effects. He's also 3 points cheaper, bringing him in line with Commander Anakin. Go be greedy for those long-range Swivel crits that will definitely land this time.

Daultay Dofine — The "non-unique" clause did almost nothing for his anti-squadron ability and mostly just nerfed the Hyena aces, who already struggle to earn a slot in CIS lists. Cutting it cleans up the card, and the points drop should please anyone who found him a little too pricey.

Arquitens — We're still happy with the design, but the points cushion we added at release left them inefficient next to Consulars and Peltas. Each Republic Arquitens drops 3 points (with more Republic points drops coming soon) to bring them in line with the faction's other smalls.
