There are none

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, May 31, 2021 - 09:08 pm: Edit

Then what you meant to say was:

Are there any plans to add a Romulan carrier or two?

I don't think the hawk or eagle carriers are externally distinctive. As for the Kestrels, Will might do them if he sees interest.

By Matthew Lawson (Mglawson) on Tuesday, June 01, 2021 - 12:58 pm: Edit

That's really bizarre as I am 99% positive I made the SpH-B and SuperHawk-B....I'll check my files when I get home, maybe I never sent them to Jean, or maybe they got lost in the internet somehow.

If you have them and they are not in the store, send me renders and I'll approve them.

How likely would it be to get a more LDR specific sprue in 7000 done? It would be nice to have a builder sprue with one or two DWs, three base MPs, and one or two POL/s. A support sprue of the MPV, MPS, MPP, PSC, PV,and an extra POL or MP would also be useful.

There is a nice selection of the larger Lyran ships, but a significant portion of the LDR fleets are MPs and POLs, having a sprue or two that reflects this would be helpful.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 - 07:27 am: Edit

Aware that SVC has tons (tonnes for metric fans) on his plate, has there been any further thinking on the legacy Federation sprue (1xoCA, 2xoCL, 2xDD and 1xVT). Appreciate any update (including "there is no update").

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 - 07:44 pm: Edit

Last I knew, the Fed sculptor was up to his eyebrows in the decal project he has going.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 - 09:58 pm: Edit

Fed updates will have to come from The Federation Will.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Wednesday, September 01, 2021 - 11:26 am: Edit

I know that Will is busy creating some fantastic decals for Tenneshington. I can't wait until they release them!

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Saturday, September 04, 2021 - 12:26 pm: Edit

Requesting a 1:7000 utility ship sprue: APTs, Free Traders, FedEx, maybe a small freighter or two.

I know, they're "omni-scale"...but omni-scale ships and stands don't work so hot with 1:7000 fleet ships.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Saturday, September 04, 2021 - 04:24 pm: Edit

Like a convoy sprue? I'd buy that.

By David Bostwick (Zarquon) on Thursday, June 09, 2022 - 03:44 pm: Edit

I would like to request the following models in 1/3125 scale be added to Shapeways:

- Kzinti Combat Battle Tug (CBT) R5.53. There is already a cargo tug, so this a matter of adding bits to the pods.

- Klingon Battle Tug (BT) R3.14. Again, there is already a cargo tug.

- Gorn Battle Tug (BT) R6.5+8. Again, there is already a cargo tug.

- Kzinti Middle Years Cruiser (CAM) R5.A19.

- Borak War Dreadnought (DNW) RB100.4. This is the one with side-by-side turrets.

- Seltorian Dreadnought with 3 booms (Heavy Dreadnought?). As far I can find, this no SSD for this ship, so one would have to be created (Maybe there is somewhere else I’m supposed to ask for that?). This would be a conjectural ship since the Seltorians didn’t have any ships this large in the Milky Way and didn’t have the Klingon help needed to build 3 boom ships in M81. While it may be conjectural, my Seltorian fleet looks incomplete without it.

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Thursday, June 09, 2022 - 04:10 pm: Edit

I'll add the Kzinti and Gorn to the to-do list. Drawing a blank on what the CAM looks like, I'll take a look.

By David Bostwick (Zarquon) on Thursday, June 09, 2022 - 04:12 pm: Edit

Thanks Steve, the CAM is similar to the Tug, just converted into a cruiser instead of a tug. You can find in CL50.

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Thursday, June 09, 2022 - 05:20 pm: Edit

Ah, yes. That line is mostly done, still working out how much of that shape can be carried over to the transitional EY ships.

That would be the Seltorian Light Battleship, as presented in Ship Card form for Federation Commander in Communiqué #78.

Hard to imagine that it's already been ten years ago this month since that PDF was first uploaded...

For my part, I was wondering if or when more Federation X-ships might be up for consideration. Of those, I'd most look forward to the GSX and the HDWX.

And while there are a number of Alpha Octant minis which are close enough to "stand-in" for their counterparts in the Federal Republic of Aurora, it would be welcome to see one or more of their distinct hull types appear in Shapeways form someday.

By John Pepper (Akula) on Saturday, July 23, 2022 - 02:31 pm: Edit

I too would like to see the additional Federation X-ships.

Also the Federation Attack Cruiser from last year and it looks like we still need the heavy destroyer, deckhouse destroyer, medium light dreadnought, and modular light dreadnought

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Thursday, September 08, 2022 - 07:37 pm: Edit

Any chance we can get a sprue of two Orion Slavers? These are small ships and several other Orions are available in pairs.

By Ginger McMurray (Gingermcmurray) on Thursday, September 08, 2022 - 09:10 pm: Edit

Plasma torps, please.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Thursday, September 08, 2022 - 09:29 pm: Edit

Yes to plasma torps.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Friday, September 09, 2022 - 04:45 am: Edit

For the 7000 scale ships, I know there are a couple of Squadron sprues: 3x Fed CA, 3xKlingon D6/7. Would it be possible / sensible to extend this to War Cruisers, War Destroyers, and Frigates for all races?

I'd also be interested in "Police" sprues: an example might be a Police Flagship (or appropriate FF/DD if the scale is too small to support the changes being visible), a Heavy Police Ship, and maybe 3 police ships. So the Klingon sprue would be 1xG4 (or E4), 1xG6, and 3xG2.

By Jack Bohn (Jackbohn) on Saturday, September 10, 2022 - 07:35 pm: Edit

The 7000 scale 3 Cruiser pack history, from proposal to product, can be seen above on the Archive through May 02, 2020. An experiment.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Monday, September 12, 2022 - 07:26 am: Edit

thanks jack - good additional background! My next purchase is likely to include the 3xD6/7 pack, no idea how the sales look, but I guess it needs to be worth ADB's time & effort as well as the input from the sculptors.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Monday, September 12, 2022 - 12:28 pm: Edit

Was the Fed POL ever done in 7000 scale?? If so, I don't see it on the web site.

A Pol was included in the Federation Pre-War Collection.
