Please vote on the ship to include in Communique #65. You have around three weeks to vote!

Quick descriptions:
- FNT is an auxiliary designed to move fast. Kind of a "fast freighter" of sorts.
- Kzinti Tug is, well, the Kzinti Tug. Presumably the wimpier tug.
- Tholian police war destroyer is a war destroyer class ship built using the Tholian police cutter hull.
- Hydran Lord Admiral is the heavy command cruiser (CCH) upgrade to the Lord Bishop command cruiser.

What happened to the Romulan K5W?

In the Communique #64 poll, Steve explained how this would work ...

Steve Cole wrote:The ship in second place will be part of next month's poll, along with three more ships.

Plan is two ships per communique, one picked by me (perhaps in response to a customer request already on file) and one picked by the poll.

So, the K5W didn't place send, so was replaced in the poll. Doesn't stop you from requesting it individually. And it is always possible it will resurface in the poll at a later time. But, it had its chance, but didn't do well.

Hard choice Trashcans or Lavaheads. Went Tholian. Which DW btw, miniCW or mimiC?

The Hydrans need some love.

Basically, the way it works is this...

Various ships (requests, ships planned for future products, and ships that amuse me) are listed. I ask Petrick to print me the SFB SSD for those ships, which he puts on my clipboard.

When I am bored and restless, I do a ship that looks amusing.

When the work schedule says "do a ship for Transports Attacked" I do one of those ships.

When I do Customer Request Wednesday, there is usually one "request" that gets picked. (Don't have time to do two.)

When each poll closes, I do the ship, then look through the stack on the clipboard, and pick three ships (one each from the next three empires in the stack).

Rinse and repeat.

I just hope the Fast Naval Transport doesn't turn into the bridesmaid of these polls; always ending up in second place...

Well, I figured the FNT was screwed once I saw the Lord Admiral as a choice. (Despite the slow start, I just didn't see how it won't win.)

Lord Admiral was my vote!!!!!

I would also like to see the K5W again.

I voted for the Tholian.

Oh hang on, April 1st was yesterday...no I didn't

Edited because I was looking at the wrong poll

I voted for the Hydran because I'm curious to see what a CCH looks like.

FNT would have been my choice otherwise. If I had voted for it, the FNT would have been dead even in votes with the Hydran - the voting's that close: 11 FNT, 13 Hydran.

Tholians don't do it for me that much and we'll probably see Kzinti tug in Transports Attacked anyway.
