ADB Releases Ships in April 2019!

On April 1, 2019, ADB released a total of 50 new items to its shop on Shapeways.

The Federation gets the Fralli Heavy Cruiser in both the "regular" and "Fed Classic" (smooth body) versions. The Fralli created the ship by welding together parts of an old light cruiser, an old frigate, part of the hull and the engines of a police cutter and two engines from another otherwise worn-out police cutter. They named her the Powerista.

The Klingons get their B10T Emergency Battleship. The B10TK Emergency Battleship has the Aztecked designs on the wings. The B10T was created from a B10 boom being attached to the body of a Tug-A and two battle pods.

The Romulans gain their K10R Battleship in both smooth and regular (with belly bird, Romulan insignia, and scallops on the wings) versions. They also get their SparrowHawk-J Assault Cruiser and their SparrowHawk-J+ Assault Cruiser. The "+" indicates it is a late-war design in the style of the Starline 2500 Romulan ships.

The Gorns gain their Neo-Command Cruiser as described in Captain's Log #50. This is available in both the regular and refitted versions.

The Kzintis gain their Heavy Medium Cruiser.

The Tholians gain their Neo-Tholian Medium Cruiser.

The Lyrans and their wayward county of the Lyran Democratic Republic get their Dreadnought Mauler (codenamed Single-Tooth Lion). The Lyrans also get their Refitted Lion Dreadnought and Refitted Yaguarundi Light Carrier. The refitted ships have lots of Aztecked panels to confuse enemy sensors.

The Inter-Stellar Concordium gets a gunboat flotilla, including the leader and scout versions.

The WYN gain their Auxiliary Battle Control Ship.

The Andromedans continue to expand quickly. They get their Conquistador Light Cruiser, Python Satellite Ship, and Mamba Heavy Destroyer.

Samantha only works on Fridays and Saturdays (now Tuesday), so our schedule for getting out Hailing Frequencies and Communique is going to be a bit more erratic. However, we have now released Hailing Frequencies for April:

Communique #160 is also up: http://www.starfleetgames.com/federation/Documents/Communique/Communique-C160.pdf

News on G3 PDF. Don't get ahead of yourselves, but it has been uploaded to one store (but not yet released) and as soon as it is (this week sometime) Jean will release it on the other store. Oh, yeah, G3A will be done PDF at the same time, and the missing parts of G3 were copied from G3A and added to G3.

By A. David Merritt (Adm) on Monday, May 06, 2019 - 06:08 pm: Edit

Asking the obvious question;

Will you be releasing a G4 soon?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, May 06, 2019 - 06:47 pm: Edit

Not any time this year.

I am trying to piece together some kind of realistic schedule, but it's hard just remembering all of the balls that were in the air when I got too sick to keep juggling two years ago.

We should have Communique out on the 11th, Captain's Log on the 17th (approx), then move on to do other things.

Jean is revising the last chapter of the core rulebook of GURPS PRIME DIRECTIVE but she has a ton of stuff to do so I wouldn't expect it to hit the PDF stores before July, maybe August.

I should be able to format and finish ACTASF2 in three weeks, so maybe that can happen in July.

I might be able to do 10 ships a day three days a week and finish the GORN MSSB sometime in July.

Fed Admiral needs to get back on track. But it's a ways from finishing.

Merchants of the Federation will get a market survey PDF version sometime during June/July.

Starmada should be doing okay with the last PDF book send to print in (June?) and two more UNITY books sent to PDF in (July?). That depends on when Daniel sends them, but at least this time they should not get lost. (The Unity print version of the last UNITY PDF arrived right about when Leanna fell and broke her pelvis and by the time she rolled her wheelchair back to her desk six weeks later nobody remembered we were supposed to look for it. I really want RUMORS OF WARS but if that comes out in December I'll call it a Christmas miracle.

F&E needs to see Planetary Ops move into the 2010X format. I'll probably do the formatting in late June but no promises when I work on the fixes and updates (other than Special Raids which the staff fixed in CL53). I think we can pencil in the warbook for 2022 but nobody believes that including me.

If I forgot to mention any of the bouncing balls then do mention it and I'll track down where it is and put it on the list.
