Armada Wave 5 MicroHangars.

Hey Armada fans,

thank you for being patient, the X-Wing wave 10 update was quite time consuming.

But rejoice, the MicroHangars for the two wave 5 ships are done and ready to download. Pretty straightforward (even though I needed about 4 or 5 prototypes because… reasons…), the Phoenix Home is supposed the be put into the hangar at a very slight angle. But depending on how accurate you cut and glue this might not even be necessary, it’s really not that much.

I had some problems with the name for the Phoenix Home hangar, because “Phoenix Home” is a title rather than a ship type. But this approach already resulted in two hangars featuring the same title (Home One and Liberty, both being MC80 Cruisers). And “Phoenix Home” looked way cooler than “Modified Pelta Class blablabla”. I asked your opinion on Facebook and in the end I decided to go with “Pelta Class, Phoenix Home”. Omitting the ship type completely just seemed wrong and would have meant to change the two MC80 hangar titles to “Home One” and “Liberty”, which I didn’t like. Instead I changed the two of them accordingly and they now read “MC80, Home One” and “MC80, Liberty”. This way everything is rather consistent, the boxes read the ship type, with the exception of Home One and Liberty (because both have the same type) and Phoenix Home (because it’s not an actual Pelta Class vessel, but a modified one). Hope you’re OK with this.

Oh, and the GearBoxes are ready, as well! And as stated in the last X-Wing update, the download titles and file names no longer feature the version number, you will only find them on the cover page from each PDF. I hope this minor inconvenience doesn’t bother you, since it allows me to update those files far more easy and faster.

I know, the squadrons are still missing, and I won’t tell you something like “Oh no, I can’t build them without actually having the squads in my hand!”, because in this case this isn’t true. The truth is, the process of making the SquadHangars is really time consuming and the main thing I remember from last time is how relieved I was when they were done… But I’ll see to it ASAP but please be patient again, some real life issues require my attention.

Happy crafting,
SirWilli
