Hi,

I am new to the forums and ACTASF, but not new to SFB. I have spent a few days reading many posts. I am really interested in Lyrans for Call to Arms which I believe is suppose to be in book 3.

The last post I can see about this subject is way back in September of 2019, seeing as its now September 2022 I wonder if book 3 is any closer to being released?

If not, would it be possible to get a preview of the Lyran Tiger Heavy Cruiser or equivalent datasheet?

Thanks
GameGater

I believe I have found my answer in the Facebook Fan Page for ACTASF.

So by the sounds of it, not soon at any rate.

Yes, we are rolling right long behind the scenes on Book 4

As it looks right now we should have 4 well more like 3 and a half new Empires. Lyran, Democratic Lyran Rebels, Trashcans... umm I mean, Hydran and alot of new WYNs.

Weapon Systems maybe 4ish, Hellbores, Fusions, ESGs and Maulers.

New Units Strike Carriers and a smaller Carrier along with 1 fighter per Empire. More will be in Reinforcement 2 when it comes out.

Tony is figuring on squeezing in 300 ships. Short of jumping up and down on the book I am not sure how that is getting accomplished.

All this is TENTATIVE but, seems pretty solid. We won't know for sure til after the layout is done.

As far as previewing a Tiger CA I can run it up the pole and see what Tony and Steve say.

As for when? That's the Million Credit question. I believe they are working on the R6 update and the Orion Master Ship Book? Next, I hope, is The Double Nickel Captain's Log. Then hopefully we are up but we will see. They have a newsletter or 2 hopefully in there as well.

May fault. I have book 3 on my computer but am only partly done with it. Too many interruptions. The big storage project took all of May, Stratcon took all of June, Covid made a mess of July, injuries took out August, even now a more recent injury means I can barely move my right arm and hand. I'll get back to work on it soon.

If you go to my desk in the office looking for the fleet list it's on top of the pizza box under the brownie tray with Dr Pepper stains. Put it back when you're done.
