Thanks, would be useful and the SFB ones were there as well. Shapeways has the advantage to me that they can print in Europe from the Eindhoven plant, which means both quicker delivery and taxes are so much easier to deal with. While taxes aren't an issue from the US so long as the goods are...

Could I ask do you sell compatible bases, either at Shapeways or via the main ADB store? I would be looking mostly for Call to Arms, but also possibly for gaming SFB on big hexes.... Thanks

Indeed, no matter how I try and try I cannot come up with any kind of plonker joke for this particular Rodney. Looks good...

Yes, thanks - after spotting it in the pics I went to Starfleetgames and looked. I was hoping it was all the Fed SSDs - unfortunately not

Fed Master Starship book for SFB....I've missed that product, better go look see what it is...

Oh yes planets being out of scale with the miniatures is really a big part of the issue here. I know the base is a static ship and all but being put on the table at game start and not moving, it feels more like a terrain piece for me than a ship. So it is terrain that I would want to visually...

One thing that leapt out from SVC's replies there.... His comment of making sensor dishes and selling them for scouts rather than making whole models. I do not know if that was meant to be a throwaway idea or not but it seems ot have some merit. Is there a set of standard conversion items that...

Its going to be out of sync so I'd prefer to keep it under 3" diameter. I know that doesnt fit with the vessels, so I'd go for 1/10 scale and put it about 2.8" as a maximum size. I'd suggest a fixed size for all bases actually - and just differentiate them by modules and shape. Since they...

QFT..... Its too easy to bump a table, or ruch up a cloth or any of the so many things that that will move a line that tenth of a degree thats needed over 12" to take you off line. THis is a wargame not a game of dexterity in how well can you line things up. Declarative targetting is the best...

Planetary defences in SFB were simply SSDs for small ships that didnt move and had a limited fire arc. How you do the arc is the most difficult point there. Satellite defences were very small bases that sat in space. You could convert from the SFB source material easily enough, or simply...

The sheer number of drones in SFB at least is limited by the number of drone control channels, which is 6 for most ships, more for double control drone. THe adaptation of Drones to direct fire weapons and abstracting the launch/fly/reload cycles out of the game meant that your wall of drones or...

Fair enough, Im in the minority - just for me the prohibition on All Movement pretty explicitly precluded eligibility to be nominated for movement (on the basis how can you be permitted to nominate it for movement, if movement is explicitly non-permitted, the two just don't separate as written...

...and thats fundamentally where we differ then. Since, special actions specifically require the ship to be nominated to move and Running Adrift pre-emptively precludes all movement (it is not merely a Speed 0 item) making it de facto ineligible for nomination for movement - the option has been...

Its pretty well defined really - Running Adrift ships may not move at all - therefore take no part in the Movement Phase, also by definition means they cannot be nominated to move, therefore since they cannot meet the criteria to do a special action - which is being nominated to move - which can...

VaS is a point to point system, so really so long as the point is defined on the ship then scale should theoretically make little mechanical difference. The only issue will be practical ones of ships having space to move, of overcrowding and a ground to model scale disconnect if the change is...
