Space Combat - Fleet Builder
Overview
The Space Combat – Fleet Builder is an interactive web app that lets you quickly assemble a fleet for your tabletop starship combat sessions.
It runs entirely in the browser—no accounts, no server, and no tracking.
Use it to pick ships, drones, and mine packs, set their quantities, and see the total points in real time.
When you’re done, you can export, import, print, or even download a CSV version of your fleet list.
How to Use
1. Name Your Fleet
At the top of the page, enter a descriptive fleet name (e.g., Patrol Group Sigma
).
This name will be saved locally in your browser and included in any exported files.
2. Choose a Faction
Use the faction filter buttons (All / Humanoid / Alien) to limit the ship catalog to the faction you want.
3. Add Ships
Browse or search for ships by name, class, or code (e.g., C-6A
or Cruiser
).
Click Add to Fleet to add a ship. If you need multiples of the same ship, keep clicking Add or adjust the quantity later in the fleet list.
4. Add Drones
Under Drones, use the stepper to pick a quantity (e.g., 6 Drone B’s), then click Add.
The fleet list will show the total number of drones and points.
5. Add Mine Packs
Each pack represents 4 mines and costs 5 points.
Set the number of packs you want and click Add Packs.
6. Review & Adjust
Your fleet list shows:
- Each line item with its quantity and per-item points
- A stepper to adjust quantities (or set to 0 to remove)
- The total points at the bottom
7. Save or Share Your Fleet
Use the buttons in the Your Fleet panel:
- Export → Saves a
.json
file with your fleet (name, items, and points). - Export CSV → Saves a spreadsheet-friendly
.csv
file (with quantities and total points). - Import → Loads a previously exported fleet back into the builder.
- Print → Opens a printable version of your fleet list with a title, subtitle, and total counts.
- Clear → Empties your current fleet.
Tips & Tricks
- The app remembers your last fleet and fleet name in local storage—close the browser and come back later, and your fleet will still be there.
- You can mix factions in a single fleet—use the “All” filter and add ships from both sides.
Printing
When you click Print, the app generates a clean print layout:
- Title: Starship Fleet Builder
- Subtitle: your fleet name
- Table with:
- Ship number (#)
- Name
- Quantity
- Row points
- Final row with total quantity and total points
- Footer with date/time and a credit link to cerkit.com
