Topic: SXCA modification

Would it be possible to mark the six arcs on the printed record sheets ??


and maybe have them marked some where visible on the design page for reference.


and add in an anime style spinal mount.



thanks,
jim a.

Sure.

The designation as an Anime-style SM has no impact on construction... so I wonder what the benefit of this would be?

Can you give us a direct link?

As far as adding your own options in, the only reason that there is a limit of 3 fighter options (and 4 types of fighters) is space.
Without redesigning the sheet, there was only room for 3 options (I could have gone with designs in columns and had 3 types of fighters with 4 options, but I decided to keep this like the weapons and arranged in rows).

For accessing the 'guts', just unprotect the sheet (Tools/Protection/Unprotect Sheet), then highlight rows 29-140 and use the Fill Color button to set those rows to "No Fill" (when finalized, set the fill to "Gray-25%").  The area you want to access, should be cells N73:X84, N86:X90, O109:O120 & P109:P123.  Those are all of the sections (IIRC) that apply to fighter options.  When adding to them, make sure that you highlight a row (or column in the case of N86:X90), within the appropriate range only (do not insert at the top or bottom, as this will not adjust the range), and insert and "shift cells down"
(or "right" for the column) and put your new information in there, then resort to get them in order.

No. You can have your hull as large as you'd like... simply unlock the sheet (Tools > Protection > Unprotect Sheet), select cell C5, and click Data > Validation...

When the window pops up, simply change the maximum value to whatever you'd like.

Is there a version of sxca with the fire arcs on the printed display yet?  I can't seem to find it.  Thank you.
