Ah, good to know. Thanks! _________________

Given the availability of the Shapeways store is this decision likely to be revisited in the future? |

It is entirely possible. Same thing was said about Hydrans and Tholians and ISC and others.
key points...
1. A small group of leadership people will decide which sculptor does which empire, or some of the ships of an empire.
2. Being the first guy to post one doesn't give you ownership of the empire, but it does put you in the running. Ability to cooperate without trying to force your vision on me (or the company, or the staff, or the players) is a key element, so working with me is a good start.
3. We cannot do everything at once.
4. Anything we do we probably want to do both 3788 and 3125 at the same time. Omni-scale minis (freighters, civilians, bases) will get one scale.
5. As per the "McCammon Guidance Document" anyone doing ships needs to do the 3788 (2400, 2450) FIRST and get it to work in Shapeways for the designated "McCammon Material List" and THEN rescale it to 2500.
6. Ships will be done in the order the company wants to develop the market, not in the order that a sculptor decided looked like fun. We kinda want to focus mostly for now on ships that were never done for 2400 and very secondarily for ships that were done for 2400 but never done for 2500. _________________ The Guy Who Designed Fed Commander

Currently trying to decide whether to go 2500 or 2400 as I have small collections of both. Should I read anything into the comment "very secondarily" about 2500?
Absolutely not a complaint - just trying to decide which way to go! _________________ Nothing is quite as persuasive as a disruptor pistol on slow burn and a rotisserie...... |

I think it's still a matter of preference. . . I like 2500 because they are bigger and more detail, but you also have to keep in mind at least as of right now you don't have all the empires in that scale. More options with 2400. _________________
