Part of me likes the idea of a slight delay between when EM is declared and when it goes into play. I look at it like the following:

"Sir, it looks like they're going evasive! Targeting is going to have problems soon."
"Okay, we'd better fire now, otherwise we won't be able to hit anything. FIRE ...

Unfortunately it seems like your geocities bandwidth limits have been hit.

Guess your work is just too popular!

I just created an account as well for FC and am interested. My nickname (here as well as on SFBOnline) is PaulK. As soon as I get stuff set up, I'm definitely up for it.

Well, <bleep> on a stick. I must have assembled them wrong. What's worse, I've already applied all of the decals as well.

Hi,

I'm painting up my Fed CA and trying to figure out which "bumps" are the torpedo launchers. There are 4 on the top, right under the bridge, as well as 4 on the bottom just to the front of the lower sensor dome. What are the different bumps?

I found that I have better results when the figure and primer are about the ...

I'm currently painting up some Feds and Romulans myself. The first Fed frigate I did turned out well (brush painted) but the heavy cruiser started to look like a big white blob of snowman poo. I ended up breaking out the airbrush and things have worked out much better. From what I've been able to ...

I must agree, very nice work. What are you using as your hull base color for those ships? I just discovered FC and will be assembling a Federation fleet as my starting foray into a new level of my metal addiction. (I'm currently addicted to all manner of other metal toys right now) :o

Thanks ...
