For those curious about the difference between Versatile Plastic and PA12:

Printed in Versatile Plastic (Polished)

Printed in PA12

Note the detail on the warp engines and the crispness of the windows in the PA12 version that is lacking on the Versatile Plastic.

ADB Releases Ships for July, 2020

On July 6, 2020, ADB released a total of 42 new items to its shop on Shapeways with over 2,200 items available in total. Notably, we added more advanced technology ships (sometimes called X-technology or "X-ships") to the shop. We also added more ships in the 7000 Scale that is designed to allow you to play with multiple ships on a "regular" map with 5/8-inch hexes. Please note that all ships are available in both 3788 and 3125 scales unless specifically noted, and then they are only available in the scale noted.

The Federation starts with the New Fast Cruiser and New Fast Light Cruiser. These are available in both the Federation (gridded saucer) and Fed Classic (smooth saucer) styles.

The Klingons gain their X-Ship F5X Frigate. In the more aztecked style is the X-Ship F5XK Frigate.

The Romulans gain their Peregrine New Mauler Cruiser. It is also available in the "+" or "Cranked Arrow" style. In the 7000 Scale, they get their Fleet Assault Ship Collection containing a Peregrine New Mauler Cruiser, a FlameHawk Mauler, two SparrowHawk-F Mauler Cruisers, and two SparrowHawk-J Assault Cruisers. The collection is also available in the "+" or "Cranked Arrow" style.

The Kzintis are focused on transports as they get their Medium Tactical Transport, War Destroyer Transport, and Frigate Transport. Even their 7000 Scale has a similar focus with their Tug Collection including the Fleet Tug (with one, two, or no pods), the Light Tactical Transport (with one pod), the War Destroyer Transport, and Frigate Transport (which could carry cargo pods but could not operate combat pods).

The Tholians get their Neo-Tholian Tug. The models come with either one pod or two.

The Hydrans gain their Mule Light Tactical Transport, Pegasus Scout, and Saracen Frigate Leader. In the 7000 Scale, they get three collections: Tug Collection, Convoy Collection, and Special Ships Collection. The Tug Collection has Caravan tugs with and without cargo pallets, a Mule light tactical transport with a pallet, two separate pods, and a Gendarme police ship to provide an escort. The Convoy Collection has two large freighters, two small freighters, a Gendarme police cutter, and a Heavy Gendarme Police Frigate. The Special Ships Collection contains two Demon Hunter Heavy War Destroyers, a Pegasus Scout, two light cruisers (a Horseman and a Traveler), and a Kiowa War Dreadnought.

The Andromedans gain their Krait Battle Destroyer. If that weren't bad enough, they also reveal their X-Ship X-Conquistador.

With the release of the OGR, that marks three of the broader SFU's "pirate" factions which have been added to Shapeways to date: the Orions, the Zosmans, and now the M81 Pirates.

For anyone who hasn't seen them yet, Captain's Log #40 has SSDs and Ship Cards for the OGR and OGD; the Pirates of M81 Galaxy monograph by Loren Knight, which goes into more detail on how the High Pirate Bands of the home galaxy emerged, is in Captain's Log #41; while a few notes about the various emblems used by these bands are in this PDF.

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Tuesday, August 04, 2020 - 02:59 am: Edit

Just to note, the Orion PFT released today is the Light PFT, based on a War Destroyer hull, rather than the normal PFT that's built on a Salvage Cruiser hull.

The Light PFT only carries three gunboats.

By Jack Bohn (Jackbohn) on Tuesday, August 04, 2020 - 08:27 am: Edit

Story/scenario there? I would guess a specialist ship would be kept close to "the family," but Orions have disputes. And ambitions. It's nominally one flotilla, but would a PF follow its Leader, or the captain of its tender?

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Tuesday, August 04, 2020 - 11:37 pm: Edit

All of the empires have a "Light PFT" (3 pfs carried) based on a War Destroyer hull. Or, well, most of them.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Wednesday, August 05, 2020 - 03:03 pm: Edit

Chris, I am trying to fix this as the only gunboat tender I can find a description of is the Savage Cruiser one. Where did this ship appear?

Most of the ships have been released. The Paravian frigate, war destroyer, and war cruiser in both scales has been flagged by Shapeways for IP review. (I suspect it is because of the ship names.) I have reached out to my contact at Shapeways to see if he can expedite their release.

Would it be possible to see Wills' renders of the Federation CC and CB cruisers to see the additions/modifications clearly over the standard CAR please?

It's hard to get a good view on the store due to the all white image.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, November 05, 2020 - 03:32 pm: Edit

You can reset the render to colored plastic,

Or email me a note to post the renders. (I am not in the office today.)
