Request for ships to release

Star Fleet Universe Discussion Board: 3D Printed Ships Project: Request for ships to release
  Subtopic Posts   Updated

We are interested in you telling us what you will buy so we can do those sooner. Be sure to include the scale. We have lots of scales: 7000, 3788, 3125, 2500, Omni.

We are not interested in what random people think other unnamed people they don't know want to buy. We want you to tell us what you WANT to buy and WILL buy. If you WILL buy it, and say that, and it will happen sooner that it would if you keep quiet. It will happen even faster if more than one person wants a specific ship/scale.

Here are the figures I am still looking for and would buy:

3125 Gorn: BDD, CL, NCC, DD, HDD
3125 Kzinti CAM
3125 Kzinti Battle Tug
3125 Klingon Battle Tug
3125 Andromedan X-Satellite ships
3788 Borak DNW

in addition to thefeds there, GSC, CB, DD, CS

SCALE?

By Charles E. Leiserson, Jr. (Locutus) on Friday, May 22, 2026 - 07:14 pm: Edit

Right now, I'm running (T4.0) Piracy Patrol as part of (U4.0) Carrier Group Campaign. So:

7000 Orions: BR, CR, DBR, DW, LR

My players chose the ISC, so 7000-scale Romulans and Gorn would be up my alley, too. Eventually, a King Condor in the largest scale, but that's more for my own painting fun than for the campaign.

By Roger D. Morgan, Jr. (Sonofkang) on Saturday, May 23, 2026 - 07:27 pm: Edit

Tournament ships - multiple sets to cover all the races - maybe Stinger fighters?

Kzinti fleet set

Lyran fleet set

Hydran fleet sets

Set of generic cargo ships/aux ships

BATS

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Sunday, May 24, 2026 - 06:50 pm: Edit

Could I request the addition of the 7000 scale three D7 set please.

Two of us here would really appreciate the 7000 scal Lyran, Kzinti, Tholian, and Andromedan core and fleet expansion sets? We are trying to round out the things we didn't get before.

I agree with others that the tournament sets were a great value.

@Greg Ernest

7000 scale 3xD7 - Definitely. Likely this week.
7000 scale Kzinti - Core fleet printed and checked, Likely this week. Kzinti Builder - still repairing files. On the list for this cycle of additions.
7000 scale Lyran - Core fleet a possibility for this cycle but there are some file issues. Builder is not until a future cycle
7000 scale Tholian - planned but no set release date yet. Saying you want it puts it higher on the list for when it is in a batch of released files.
7000 scale Andromedan - same as Tholian

@Roger D. Morgan
7000 scale Hydran - same as Tholian
7000 scale generic cargo ships/aux ships - I cannot say what the condition of the files is but there is a 7000 General Fleet Convoy Collection. We use the http://www.starfleetgames.com/catalog.shtml as a guide to what files may exist.

Cycles are usually a month or so.

By Mike Erickson (Mike_Erickson) on Wednesday, May 27, 2026 - 09:31 am: Edit

So what I would buy, in 3125 scale PA12:

C8V
D6M
D6S
D6D
D5
F5

I'd be happy to pre-pay for these if that greases the skids of production. If had known that Shapeways was going offline ahead of time I would have ordered those 6 ships instantly.

I would like to second the other request above for a BATS.

Thanks again for all of the quality ships I have so far.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, June 08, 2026 - 03:41 pm: Edit

What scale? do we have a 7000 scale BATS?

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Monday, June 08, 2026 - 04:15 pm: Edit

Once things settle down we will see new ships at some point?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, June 08, 2026 - 08:30 pm: Edit

I will take two years or more to add back everything we have now.

I am not aware of anything we need to add that would sell well enough to be worth doing, but if you have an idea that might qualify, do let us know.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Monday, June 08, 2026 - 09:00 pm: Edit

A few 7000 base units are missing. Notably Fed NCA, FFB.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, June 08, 2026 - 10:01 pm: Edit

I am not sure what you mean. For one thing, I don't think the term "base units" is what you want, but mostly I am asking if these were on Shapeways or not. If they were, they will happen. If not, at Least the NCA might be worth doing.

Will, if you know the answer and want to start spinning up the NCA, go ahead.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Monday, June 08, 2026 - 10:27 pm: Edit

What's on the June menu? Hoping for Romulan Hawks myself.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Monday, June 08, 2026 - 11:31 pm: Edit

SVC, I meant basic hull types. A few were not done, but at the 7000 scale most can be proxied by other ships that were done.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, June 09, 2026 - 12:07 am: Edit

Base hulls would be something to give a look.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Tuesday, June 09, 2026 - 08:19 am: Edit

In due course, I'd like to see more "squadrons" like the 3xD7 or 3xCA for the Feds. The core sets are great, but you might not want to have multiple DNs, so squadrons for CA, CW, CL, DW, DD (maybe), FF and POL across the races would be very good.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, June 09, 2026 - 10:35 am: Edit

Or could we just do a builder of one each of CA, CW, DW?

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Tuesday, June 09, 2026 - 01:55 pm: Edit

Steve: in answer to your question re: BATS scale, I believe they were all done in Omniscale (because scaling them to the ships would make them massive). Starbases, however, came in a few sizes - again, not actually any of the 3125/3788/7000 scales because they'd be the size of a dinner plate, but kind of a large/medium/small affair.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, June 09, 2026 - 03:18 pm: Edit

I would think that 7000 could use its own BATS but that's just me. If people ask for it, we'll consider it, if not, it's just me babbling and we can move on.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Tuesday, June 09, 2026 - 05:40 pm: Edit

I would buy a larger BATS than the omni one.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Thursday, June 11, 2026 - 06:36 am: Edit

Steve - would NCA / CW / DW and CA / CL / DD (or FF) be a nice theme?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, June 11, 2026 - 03:20 pm: Edit

You would have to tell me. Remember that I'm the bus driver and this is your vacation.

By Xander Fulton (Dderidex) on Sunday, June 21, 2026 - 08:46 pm: Edit

Given how big "scenario play" has become for the modern miniature gaming scene (Battletech is literally re-launching with scenario/missions built into the core game rather than pick-up matches as the 'default' play mode - nevermind all the campaigns coming out. And WizKids new Star Trek game is so mission-focused, you can win matches without even firing...which is weird with so many big ship models on the table)...

...I'd love more R1.0 stuff, giving us objectives to work around.

"Convoy Pack", maybe
2x F-S, 1x F-L, 1x Fed POL, 1x Klink G2 (or E3/E4?), 1x Rom SNA

Obviously not all the 'escorts' usable at once, but options for whoever is on the 'convoy defense' side of the mission...

Or maybe as two packs, instead?

1 - Civilians
2x F-S, 1x F-L, 1x FT, 1x APT, 1x ComPlat

2 - Police Forces
1x Fed POL, 1x Klink G2, 1x Rom SNP, 1x Kzinti POL, 1x Lyran MP, 1x Hydran GEN

?
