I just tried it for the Constellation and that worked. Also for the Sovereign:
All three of those are supported. I think the only two Federation ships that aren’t currently supported are the Sydney and the Olympic.
BCing you
Is the Nebula supported as yet? I looked but didn’t see it.
Is it possible that there is a browser compatibility issue, or maybe some need to clear their cache?
Very nice underrated feature
Yeah, I just tried it again with the NX class and I STILL got the Galaxy outline. Is there a feature I need to enable somewhere?
Hm. I can only think of two reasons why you might not be seeing it:
- You’re using the old app – the sta.modiphiusapps… one — rather than the new app – the sta.bcholmes.org one.
- Your browser is caching some of the resources. Have you tried doing a refresh of the page? What do you see as the version number in the lower-right-hand corner of the first page?

In terms of “can I choose the Nebula-class spaceframe?”, yes, the Nebula has been supported for a good long time. But the spaceframe is written up in the Command Division Sourcebook, so you’ll need to ensure that you’ve selected that source.
The Nebula is also supported in the sense of “if I choose the Nebula, will I see its outline on the character sheet?”

I was using the wrong app at sta.modiphiusapps, but I went to the bcholmes one just now and tried it…and I YET AGAIN got a Galaxy outline. The version number in the lower right corner was: v1.211018. Even refreshing the page before I start using the app doesn’t change the version number. What’s the solution?
EDIT: Also just noticed a couple of other things: 1) The Daedalus class gets 5 Talents, not 3 according to its Scale, since it’s a ship of “simple construction” according to the Command Book (see p. 53).
2) When I used the TOS version of the PDF, the Talents didn’t appear on the sheet.
3) And even using the TOS version, I got a Constitution image instead of a Daedalus image, but that’s because the version number didn’t change this time either.
The version number looks like the current version. What type of ship were you trying to create?
I have seen a bug show up where if you go through creating one type of ship, and then change it to another type of ship, the talents selected the first go-through don’t get properly “cleared”. I haven’t really investigated that bug, though. My guess is that you’re hitting that.
I’ll investigate this.
Edit: Hm. I’m not seeing this bug. Can you also let me know what browser you’re using?
As I previously said, at the moment, only the TNG sheet supports dynamic ship outlines.

My bad about the TOS sheet not being able to update the outline, I missed that.
As for my browser, I’m using Mozilla Firefox 93.0.
I use Firefox as my default browser, so I doubt that it’s a browser issue.
When I try to create a Daedelus, I get the Daedelus shape on the TNG sheet. So I’m afraid I’m not seeing the errors you’re reporting.

Bizarre. It’s working now, I just tried an NX class and the outline FINALLY appeared as the proper NX class. I have no idea what changed; I refreshed the browser five times, but apparently this only worked on the fifth attempt. The version number didn’t even change. Weird, but at least it’s working for me now.
I just went to the Klingon ships and I noticed a few things right off.
- The K’Vort is Scale 5 (not 4) according to the Klingon Corebook, p.220.
- The Toron-class shuttlepod is rated Scale 4(!) when it should be Scale 1. (Whoever heard of a Scale 4 shuttle?)
- The Vor’cha is Scale 5, not 6 according to the Klingon Corebook, p.223. (It’s the Neg’Var that’s Scale 6.)
- The Qo’Toch Heavy Freighter is misspelled: It should be the Qo’Toch Heavy Fighter (It’s Scale of 2 is correct, though.)
- The Pach’Nom Multirole Escort is Scale 5 (not 3) according to the Klingon Corebook, p.215.
I’ll keep looking for any other issues, but these are what I noticed right off. (And I know this is a work in progress; issues like this are to be expected.)
Firefox is sometimes over-eager about caching, to the extent that it’ll keep fetching stuff from the cache for a while even when you’ve asked for a reload. Perhaps part of the page was still loading from cache.
Thanks for taking the time to report those. Obviously I need to up my transcription game.
I think I’ve fixed them in v1.211022.
BCing you
Just made a character which went find but the export was flagged as dangerous and then Adobe says the file is corrupted. Anyone else having problems?
Update. Edge it worked. Seems to be a Firefox issue when exporting
My guess would be that you have some kind of blocker plug-in that interrupted the PDF export (which is why it ended up being corrupted). Or over-eager anti-virus software.
I use Firefox as my primary browser, and I’ve never hit the problem you’re describing.

Is there an eta on when the new build options from players guide (alt environments/Upbringings, cadets, etc) will be added into the creator? I know it’s basically just out but was curious when you were aiming to get that out. I want to run some cadets through a game at some point.
Honestly, I asked BC to wait on adding the new PG material to the builder until the print copies ship. I’m all for making the tool easy to use, but if we put all the new content into the free builder right away, there’s potentially fewer people checking out and buying the books. I can’t afford to keep the line going that way.

What??? You mean that you’re a businessman and are trying to make a profit off selling your products? Say it isn’t so! (LAUGH)
Seriously, very understandable and appropriate. The only reason that I am holding off on my order of the new Guides is that I am still waiting for my Shackleton Expanse book to arrive. Once it gets here (in physical form; I do have the PDF, of course), I’ll be grabbing the GM’s and Player’s Guides.

Not only that, but I tend to favour the PDF versions of the various books (I just don’t have the storage space for physical game books these days). So I’m not gonna have a copy until the PDF versions are available, and will implement the new material then.
Sorry,
BC
