I worked through all posts, created a consolidated list, and deleted everything to date. You should check the list before posting more requests. Feel free to support previous requests so we can judge market strength.

I just read the updated list and saw Hydran command cruisers on there. I'm requesting the Apache (APA) medium command cruiser (CCM) specifically, but this should/would probably mean the Commanche (COM) needs to be done at the same time.

Skiffs have been released.

Fed CVS was done a few months ago.

Great work with all the miniatures done so far.

List updated.

Re the Federation CB.

Is there some way to add to the length of the deck 2/3 superstructure under the Bridge, rather than just the extra greebles over the end of the saucer? Would that be a way to go?

Although I've seen fanships done that way, could we find a SFU way to do it?

By Will McCammon (Djdood) on Sunday, July 29, 2018 - 12:20 pm: Edit

For reasons I don't know, the cover art for F&E Planetary Operations has a CVB (NCC-1956 Sam Houston) with an extended "B/C deck" teardrop under the bridge, this one featuring shuttlebay doors (which the SSD and fluff data do not support). Just looked cool, I guess. It did establish a usable precedent though.

For the CB heavy command cruiser, the only game-data changes to the saucer, relative to the stock CC command cruiser, are the addition of two more forward phasers and the center warp pack, which I would lean towards making identical to those on the BC(H) battlecruiser.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Sunday, July 29, 2018 - 02:31 pm: Edit

The cover has that because the artist did it and nobody paid attention. Probably would not have had him do it over again as (assuming he would do it) it would have delayed the project a month. Back in those days (almost every day) we had very little control over the artists who tended to get cranky if told anything other than "here is your check".

Will I think that art was supposed to represent the ACS or CVD carrier, whichever one had fighters in the saucer. At that point it was never really established were the shuttle bays were on saucers.

By Mark Hutton (Trynda1701) on Monday, July 30, 2018 - 10:24 am: Edit

With Will mentioning added phasers on a CB, are they saucer phasers?

If so, it could mean something being moved to the B/C deck superstructure to accommodate those.

If not, could we find a way to add length, similar to how that F&E cover does (without the shuttle bay doors). Personally, I feel it would look better than the greebles added to the act of certain saucers on SL2500 minis.

By Eddie Crutchfield (Librarian101) on Monday, July 30, 2018 - 09:52 pm: Edit

Yes the phasers are in the saucer. 2 additional FH

By Mark Hutton (Trynda1701) on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 - 02:11 pm: Edit

I think with the way Will knocked it out of the park with the CVS, I would look forward to see what he could come up with for a CB. :)

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 - 07:03 pm: Edit

I am sure Will can do something about the CB but I think that the DW, NCA, and FFB need to be done first, one a month.

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Wednesday, August 01, 2018 - 09:39 am: Edit

And the CVA.

...are there going to be carrier versions of NCL/NCAs...

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Wednesday, August 01, 2018 - 07:21 pm: Edit

Only if someone finds an external difference.
