Paste elsewhere

Paste the exported text into forums, email, Discord, or your preferred destination.

The text area automatically selects all content when clicked, making copying quick and easy.

The most convenient sharing method is the URL-based save:

How URL Saving Works

Utopia automatically encodes your complete fleet into the page URL:

https://utopia.example.com/#[encoded-fleet-data]

The hash (#) portion contains your entire fleet configuration in a compact, encoded format.

Instant Loading

Recipients simply visit the URL to instantly load your exact fleet with all ships and upgrades.

No Manual Entry

No need to manually re-create the fleet from a text list. Everything loads automatically.

Always Up-to-Date

As you modify your fleet, the URL updates in real-time. Bookmark the page or copy the URL at any time.

Works Everywhere

Share URLs via email, chat, forums, social media, or any platform that supports links.

Cross-Platform

URLs work on any device. Build on desktop, load on mobile, or vice versa.

Complete your fleet

Copy the URL

Copy the complete URL from your browser’s address bar (including the # hash portion).

Share the URL

Make sure to copy the COMPLETE URL including everything after the # symbol. The encoded fleet data is in the hash portion.

Saving for Later

Browser Bookmarks

Click the bookmark to instantly reload your fleet.

Text File Archives

Maintain a personal fleet library:

Export each fleet to standard text format
Save each export to a separate .txt file
Name files descriptively (“100pt-Borg-Assimilation.txt”)
Keep a folder of fleet files for quick reference

URL Collections

Create a document with fleet URLs:

# My Attack Wing Fleets

## 100 Point Fleets
- Federation Enterprise-D: https://...
- Klingon Negh'var: https://...
- Romulan Scimitar: https://...

## 50 Point Fleets  
- Federation Defiant: https://...

Printing Fleets

To create physical fleet printouts:

Build and export

Complete your fleet and export to standard text format.

Paste into document

Copy the export into a word processor or text editor.

Format for readability

Adjust font size and spacing as needed.

Print your formatted fleet list for reference during play.

Include the fleet URL on your printout so you can quickly reload it in Utopia if needed.

Mobile Export

Exporting works identically on mobile devices:

Tap inside the export text area to select all
Use your device’s copy function
Share via your device’s share sheet
URLs work the same as desktop

Export Tips and Best Practices

Always Include the URL

When sharing text exports, also share the fleet URL. This allows others to see your fleet in Utopia with proper card images and hover details.

Use Descriptive Names

When saving fleets, use names that describe the strategy or composition: “Borg-Cube-Swarm” or “Federation-Flagship-Build”.

Version Your Fleets

If you iterate on a fleet design, keep version numbers: “Romulan-Fleet-v1”, “Romulan-Fleet-v2”.

Export Before Clearing

Always export and save a fleet before resetting the builder or navigating away.

Test Imports

When using TTS or JSON exports, test the import in your target application to ensure compatibility.

Troubleshooting

URLs Not Working?Make sure you copied the entire URL including the # symbol and everything after it. The fleet data is encoded in the hash fragment.

Text Area Not Selecting: Click directly inside the text area. If auto-select doesn’t work, use Ctrl+A or Cmd+A to select all. Missing Cards on Load: If a loaded fleet is missing cards, those cards may have been removed from the database or renamed. Check the browser console for load errors. JSON Format Issues: Ensure you selected “Fleet Sheet” as the export type, not standard text export.
