What will the Hawk builder include? A heavy hawk or SP, 2xSP, 2xSK, SEA?

I am hoping to see all the NCA's someday. We got the Kzinti but no one else.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Sunday, July 05, 2026 - 08:59 pm: Edit

Also hoping for Tholians soon. I hope there is a core, builder, and 312th.

Wrote up a long response but the BBS ate it. Doh.

Basically I now have a large selection of files to examine, test, and validate and they'll drive the next Cycles. The best source for what is in the fleets is here: http://www.starfleetgames.com/catalog.shtml but validated real files and feasibility of printing will be the final driver.

7000 series are near the end and the Hawk Builder Collection is:

7000 Romulan Fleet Hawk Builder Collection (contains a SeaHawk, two SkyHawks, two SparrowHawks, and a FireHawk)
7000 Romulan Fleet Hawk Core Collection (contains one each of the Condor, FireHawk, RoyalHawk, Sparrowhawk, SkyHawk, and SeaHawk)
7000 Romulan Fleet Hawk Refit Builder Collection (contains the refitted versions of a SeaHawk, two SkyHawks, two SparrowHawks, and a FireHawk)
7000 Romulan Fleet Hawk Refit Core Collection (contains one each of the refitted versions of the Condor, FireHawk, RoyalHawk, Sparrowhawk, SkyHawk, and SeaHawk)

The first builder fleet is almost a guaranteed release so the heavy hawk as you describe.

What is that Builder thing actually?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, July 06, 2026 - 03:09 pm: Edit

7000 series minis are sold in sets, usually 5 or 6.

The core set has the ships everybody needs, mostly ships you don't need that many of.

Then you buy as many builder sets as you want until you have a fleet big enough for your ambitions.

By F Michael Miller (Fmm) on Monday, July 06, 2026 - 03:18 pm: Edit

I would purchase tournament sets

Yeah, it was that list I'd pulled one of my requests from.

Quote:

7000 Tholian Fleet Core Collection (contains one each of the dreadnought, heavy cruiser, war cruiser, destroyer, patrol corvette, and police cutter)



...that is very, VERY much of interest!

Although, TBH, a bit of a LOL at another obvious entry of high priority:

Quote:

7000 Neo-Tholian 312th Builder Collection (contains one Neo-Tholian dreadnought, three Neo-Tholian heavy cruisers, and two Neo-Tholian light cruisers)



It's LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THOLIAN WARSHIP THAT SURVIVED! Like, by name! ROFL...

(And nobody look at the Hydran collection options. Jesus Wept those are...too, TOOOOO diverse. C'mon, now, let's get some focus, there!)

By Stewart Frazier (Frazikar3) on Monday, July 06, 2026 - 06:14 pm: Edit

one Neo-Tholian dreadnought, three Neo-Tholian heavy cruisers, and two Neo-Tholian light cruisers

Hmmm, reverse the two cruises and it's half the 312th !!

By Burt Quaid (Burt) on Monday, July 06, 2026 - 06:44 pm: Edit

I have a friend waiting for the Gorns.

burt

I vote for anything we haven't done yet.

By Sean Schoonmaker (Schoon) on Tuesday, July 07, 2026 - 01:33 pm: Edit

Really loving all the 7000 miniatures. You folks are going to break my wallet.

I'll be happy though!

By Stewart Frazier (Frazikar3) on Tuesday, July 07, 2026 - 09:17 pm: Edit

Hmmm, will there be a NovaHawk/SuperHawk either in a Set or individual model??

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Wednesday, July 08, 2026 - 07:36 am: Edit

At 1:7000 scale, there is little to distinguish a Nova/SuperHawk from a Firehawk; the slight difference in boom length would be hard to see.

When the larger scales return, that's when I suspect you'll see it.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Wednesday, July 08, 2026 - 11:09 pm: Edit

Please make the set for the NeoTholians exactly half of the 312th. Do one what one poster said above about the NCA/NCL mix.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Friday, July 10, 2026 - 05:42 pm: Edit

I hope that the Romulan Hawk Builder is 2xSP, 2xSK, 2xSEA.

In fact I all future Builders are 1xNCA/CW,1xCW, 2xDW, 2xFF. 3xFF is a bit too many with not enough CW's in the mix.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Friday, July 10, 2026 - 09:38 pm: Edit

Sorry. Poor grammar. I meant it as a hope.

By David Jannke (Bigslowtarget) on Sunday, July 12, 2026 - 02:41 am: Edit

*New transmissions - build blueprints and technical details received.*

19 segments identified. Source: Western portion of the galaxy. Additional fleet resources for one known empire, new fleets for two previously unknown.

Construction systems at full readiness.

*BEGIN CYCLE 3*

By Sean Schoonmaker (Schoon) on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 - 01:34 pm: Edit

Great news, David!

Hoping the Lyran's will be getting the additional support, and looking forward to the two new races!

It's because we are all bracing our wallets for the release of the Tholians and Orions!

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 - 04:24 pm: Edit

The Fed will go for your heart.

The Klingons will go for your throat.

The Romulans will go for your fear.

The Kzintis will go for your flesh.

The Gorns will go for your vote.

The Orions will go for your wallet.

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 - 04:28 pm: Edit

And the Hydrans will go for your farts.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 - 04:39 pm: Edit

What happened to the Hawk Builder?

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 - 04:42 pm: Edit

Oh, and my orders slowed due to wallet damage. I'll be back after another three sets soon.

Why the Borak before the Gorn?

By Roger D. Morgan, Jr. (Sonofkang) on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 - 07:50 pm: Edit

Will there be the ability to buy individual ships in the future?

For example, I have the Klingon Core Fleet, am going to get the Klingon Fleet Builder, and still need another D5 to make a squadron, but don't necessarily want to buy another whole set (well, yet, anyway...)
