Ahhh, much closer now (151 vs 144). Thanks!

Is artillery *5 too, or is it RangeBand*DamageDie*AOE?

I'll go implement the ability to save/load by filename, add a unit name (somehow forgot that!), add a little form that pops up and shows you how the cost was determined, then start running through designs and entering them in, fixing any bugs I encounter on the way.

Once I get all those entered, and fix any bugs, I'll push out the alpha exe to, well, anybody who chimes in on this thread and the yahoo group.

There are a few very minor things I haven't implemented yet and will work on after the alpha, the are:
- Bulkheads
- Drop Pods & Transports
- Unreliable SYSTEMS
- Systems that get smaller with TL increases over their minimum TL
- When you downgrade the TL, or chassis, or signature, or whatever, I need to remove systems from that page that are no longer legal.
- As you select a psionic ability, remove it from the possibilities of other abilities as you can only have each once.
- Add mouse tooltip support when you hover over units
- Add a little diagram showing the arcs as a pie chart, not just a check box
- Add support for the "50% of walker weapons to RF/LF/OL/OR"
- Add support for selecting torpedo speed
- Better looking save/load pages
- Airplane squadron support
- Support for the ability of some units to use HP as SP and vice-versa
- Various little interface issues, behavior sometimes isn't all that intuitive

And of course I still need to work on (most of these are REALLY easy):
- Gun Designer (for stand alone towed type weapons)
- LRM Designer
- Minefield Designer
- Fieldwork Designer
- Ortillery Designer
- Personnel Unit Designer (this one is a lot more work than the rest)
- Planetary Operations conversion

RangeBand*DamageDie*AOE is correct for ART.

Well I apologize for not finishing this, well, like 2 months ago when I started. It wasn't that it was that hard of a project, I just kept getting sidetracked by other things. At this point I have most of the code written (though obviously buggy and needs playtesting) and you can design/save/load vehicles. I don't show the totals anywhere, but you can save/load designs (any issues, exit and restart).

Anyway, since it does kinda work, though I know it'll have wacky things popup that I'll need bug reports to fix (try to duplicate the issue, and let me know the exact steps so i can reproduce it). I'll release this to download.

No printing or card creation functionality yet either, sorry... thats easy stuff once the rest is done

No support yet for special munitions either.

There is a source.zip within the file that contains the vb.net source, as well as the excel file I used to input all the weapon/system information. If somebody wants to take this on and can dedicate more time go for it.

Anyway, the download link is at http://goodsects.dyndns.org/strikelegion.zip. I have quite a few units entered, though a few had issues (aegis was one, I fixed the bug that didn't allow it, but didn't update the designs).

Again, sorry I couldn't really come through with this in a timely manner. If there is a new version of the product that comes out (I'd like to just see one good book, with all the rules from all 4 modules) I can revisit this at a later date. Perhaps in a few months I'll have more time.

EDIT: Updated link as my dynamic hosting provider changed my DNS name.

This is a great start. My heartfelt THANKS!!!!! I will download it and play with it this week. Again, having tried on my own, I know how much work this is, and you got further than I did.

Really awesome news.

Thanks for all of your work on this! A few notes after playing with it a little:

-Hull side armor should be a single entry, not split into 2 sides (similar to what you have for turret armor entries).

-Systems: the SP usage for systems should be reduced by 1 for each TL above the base TL of the system, to a minimum of 1SP. For example, a 4SP system with a base TL of 5 would use 3SP at TL6, 2SP at TL7, and 1SP at TL8.

-Due to how they operate in-game, variable weapons should be allowed access to a weapon damage die entry of up to a d44 (yes, d44 - not a typo).

-Missing: maybe I overlooked it, but is there a field showing the vehicle's running/final game point value? I was also able to freely create vehicles that exceeded SP and HP allotments; were you intending to have a design check function in the program, or leave that to the user to manually verify?

Again, many thanks for putting the effort in getting this off the ground.
