Any news on fleet box contents and pricing?

Poi

Mongoose
I wants me some sneaky Roms.

I'll be preordering the book, but I'd like to do it with the ships, so everything arrives at once.
 
Give us a smidgin longer, and we'll have lots of pictures of pretty ships :)

However, you are basically looking at $29.99 for Squadron sets that have five ships, and $99.99 for fleet sets that have 16 ships, plus a mini-reference/rulebook.

Are the stat sheets like the ones we had for B5?

A bit prettier, and the format has changed somewhat, as the rules are slightly different. We'll get a preview up soon of a ship.

What's that in English? Straight dollars = pounds?

Normally, yes, but we have to take into account our old friend VAT. So, Dollars to Pounds, then add a bit. We are talking to distributors at the moment to see how we can minimise this.
 
Shields, and the like .... sounds fantastic Matt I know its out soon but before the end of Oct as I have a BIG op at the start of November?

OK, cool... just so I know how much to save... :)

Matthew, I was thinking - rather than two boxes of Romulans, cloaked and uncloaked, how effective would it be to have just the clear ones? Painted up, they'd look just the same, but it'd mean producing half the boxes and would allow some players to just use half the box that way if they wanted to.

Wasn't sure if the clear was more brittle or something though...

Just a thought...?

Or just have just the bases with no ship on them and then swop them over when they decloak?
 
There's a list of the first releases posted here, subject to change: http://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/2011/08/24/49919/

The Squadron Boxes include the same ship types as the corresponding Starline 2400 ones sold by ADB (details on their website). The Fleet Boxes are anybody's guess, although I suspect they'll try to make each set about equal in points.

I will have an Enterprise with a cloak please thank you.

My guess at an answer is that you never know... they might end up with one at a convention someday...

Game comes out right at the end of November, I am afraid!

The clear resin costs more, takes a little more time to cast, and (I don't think) won't be quite as popular. It is not necessary for the game, more a bit of fun for Romulan players who want to do things 'properly'.

:'( no pre releace copy will pay a bit more :'(
 
Which are coming out first? I'm only asking through vested interest as I'm looking at grabbing some Klingons as well as a few Federation ships purely for opponents. Amarillo's pics on facebook look excellent.

According to the upcoming products page, Federation, Klingon and Romulan (including additional cloaked Romulans) each with a fleet box and squadron box (2 each - normal and cloaked for Romulan). Those are earmarked for November.

Can't see that anywhere. All I can see is the Star Fleet rulebook on pre-order, but nothing else. Where is the box/fleet info, please?
 
Halfbat: On the main page, click on Upcoming Releases (not the links below it) and you'll see all the upcoming releases - the ACTA: SF minis aren't links right now - so don't show up anywhere else.
