I am confused about the Carnivons. Are these ships also going to fill in for the standard General War era versions or are those being done later? I don't believe any other empire has Early Years ships yet.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Monday, February 01, 2021 - 11:40 pm: Edit

Nick, I hope to see the ships from C6 in the future.

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Tuesday, February 02, 2021 - 03:19 am: Edit

> I don't believe any other empire has Early Years ships yet.

Technically the Lyrans and Hydrans do, in the form of late-Y-series ships that have been refitted to semi-modern tech and relegated to Coast Guard duty because they're still just /that/ obsolete... Look for their "Local Defense" ships.

When Steve decides to do actual Y and W series ships I'll redo these with some tweaks and new greeblies for the older weapons.

Also, "Early" may not mean Y-series. The Lyrans have the "Early" BC and DN (Royal Panther and Royal Tiger) that are actually Middle Years ships, the last pre-trimaran ships.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, February 02, 2021 - 11:11 am: Edit

Remember that the only real carnivon ships are early ones.

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Tuesday, February 02, 2021 - 11:31 am: Edit

The cover of Module C6 shows the YCC. As it seems to be the prime source for canon Carnivon artwork, it served as the default template for forcing that shape through Shapeways. The rest of the (conjectural) Carnivon cruisers will get their own models in upcoming batches.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Tuesday, February 02, 2021 - 11:45 am: Edit

I just want the conjectural ones. If the the Early Years ones are the same that will do. If the conjectural ones will be bigger because they are "modern" then I'll wait.

By Douglas Saldana (Dsal) on Tuesday, February 02, 2021 - 12:14 pm: Edit

In Jean's list the Carnivon ships are listed as Y-series (YCC, YCA). If these are Middle Years ships shouldn't they be listed as CC, CA?

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Tuesday, February 02, 2021 - 01:21 pm: Edit

The SSDs that match those two models are labeled YCC and YCA. The weapon mounts don't match the SSDs for the CC or the CA, Middle Years or otherwise. It is what it is.

(I've already tried giving Jean a headache by bungling the description for one of the ships. The CC and CA will labeled as such when they come.)

By Douglas Saldana (Dsal) on Tuesday, February 02, 2021 - 02:53 pm: Edit

O.K., I misread Chris' post and thought he was suggesting these were the Middle Years designs.

By Gary Carney (Nerroth) on Wednesday, February 03, 2021 - 10:48 am: Edit

Good to see the Helgardians lead the way, in terms of introducing the Triangulum setting to the Shapeways storefront.

Speaking of distant frontiers: the "lost empire" Paravian miniatures added to the storefront not that long ago also happen to be useful stand-ins for the playtest Omega-Paravian ships in Captain's Log #54. Simliarly, perhaps some of the "modern" Carnivon miniatures (based on their Module C6 SSDs) to be featured on Shapeways might one day also cover whatever hull designs the (alleged) Carnivon exiles would (supposedly) build over in the Sargasso Storm Zone...

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Monday, March 01, 2021 - 06:58 pm: Edit

Just a heads up, the Carnivon 1/3788 Heavy Cruiser does not have a Smooth/Smoothest Fine Detail Plastic option, all other Carnivons do.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Monday, March 01, 2021 - 07:14 pm: Edit

Nick, thanks. I don't know how it happened, but it is fixed.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, March 02, 2021 - 05:47 am: Edit

Well done, Jean!

By Jay Gustason (Jay20) on Friday, March 19, 2021 - 02:16 pm: Edit

Just noticed that shapeway isn’t showing sfb minis everything says zero no pictures of minis

Whoops

By Douglas Saldana (Dsal) on Friday, March 19, 2021 - 02:50 pm: Edit

Looks like the problem isn't limited to ADB's page.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Friday, March 19, 2021 - 04:08 pm: Edit

From the best ever customer service rep who happens to be located in Netherland.

Our development team is fixing this as we speak.

Without going into details, the models are just fine, the only thing that is broken is the part of the website that displays the products.

Once resolved all models will be back.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Friday, March 19, 2021 - 04:31 pm: Edit

The issue has been resolved.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, March 19, 2021 - 04:59 pm: Edit

Confirmed that it is working again.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, March 22, 2021 - 06:24 pm: Edit

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, March 27, 2021 - 12:50 am: Edit

Jean, one of those things that suddenly struck me in the middle of the night. Will did (and I think sent you) Weird Boat #10 but I think it has gunboats on it which means he really sent Weird Boat #10-P. Can you email him to send you one without the gunboats to be Weird Boat #10-normal?
