I just want to get a Lordship (the proper original design with the orbital segments)...are they sold seperately or do I have to the Ancients Set?

@ LBH:
I thought the Kirishiac Lordship was the yellow one with sattelites around it and the stony one was the thoughtforce?
BTW can anyone give me a URL for those ships' pics? Trying to get an avatar here :wink:

It is in the original fluff and games. Mongoose has changed it for now reason anyone can understand. Those of us who were fans of the old stuff (which the author signed off on as canon) are a bit disturbed and sticking with the old designations. If Mongoose all of sudden declared the Omega a Centauri ship and the Primus the EA standard hull we'd laugh, but for some reason its okay for them to do it with the Ancients.

I thought the globe design reflects the Kirishiac Lords philosophy better: "One big gun is what we want" 
The 4-winged stone doesn't look very intimidating (befitting the gentler Mindriders)
Ah, well... mongoose is as mongoose does...

I never thought of looking under Details. 
Mongoose can decree what ships it wants, but the true Lordship is the Lordship and Thoughtforce is Thoughtforce.
What's next...the Gaim building their unique hulls? :shock:

The lordship is the yellow ball with the surrounding drones (that have guns in them).
The thoughtforce was the rock like one, looks like a volcano on a set of four legs.
Mongoose has switched them to the other way. Not sure why. Just in case my earlier post was unclear. =)

Yeah, I kinda think that's what was originally intended, Ripple. MGP obviously doesn't plan to expand the ancient fleet..or they just made a mistake.
Cause I seem to recall a PDF plan for a smaller Kirishiac ship. Mastership, I believe it was called. It follows the tradition of the yellow globe, albeit without the mega- or ultra-something cannon. Alas, I forgot where I found it.
Anyone know anything about other 1st 1 ships?

The First Ones as shown or do you mean the expanded fleets from Wars Oof The Ancients?

Fleets please.
War of the Ancients... thanx, now I remember
The thoughtforce, dark knife, lordship, traveller, and triumvirion are not exactly top of the line if I recall correctly.
Primary capital ships maybe, but not their most powerful units.

I posted a thread last week with my take on the Kirishiac Fleet.
I always assumed that Mongoose just made a mistake (not the first time it has happenedRipple said:
) and simply posted the wrong pictures of the ships. If you read the description of the Lordship, it talks about the orbiting segments and is clearly refering to the correct ship, even if the picture is wrong.Greg Smith
Mongoose
I'm inclined to agree. The fluff desription is correct, the picture is wrong and so the parts are wrong.

I figure someone who didn't know the pictures were switched has looking in Armageddon to see which is which, so replicated the mistake.
True enough, but if you do publishing you should have a master copy of the book, in paper not digital, that you stick post-it notes on whenever a mistake is caught. That way when you go back to do edits you don't replicate them as you move them to a new design.
Same thing with poor wording...print out threads that discuss it and tack them to the page in question so you can really look at what has gone wrong, and not have to search or remember what folks had issues with before.
I know Mongoose is not a big company, and it would be hard to assign someone to just archiving stuff, but take someone one on a half hour a day of quick prints and stacking could be useful. These boards are active but not so active you couldn't do some hard copy tracking.
- for the record I only dislike electronic copies as a archive device due to copies being able to replace rather than add to your archive without you being able to really see all the changes easily. I did newspaper work for a while during the turnover to electronic files and a hard copy was absolutely necessary where final changes were added and approved.
