Would love to see a finished product all painted to see how it looks complete

Well, Here I am - Luciano M. Trentadue, site owner of EFNI.

In first, let me explain that I HAVE NOT a lawyer - so, don't worry.

I did not respond because i have not found any e-mail...Sorry, I have checked the mailbox but I have not found anything. Anyway:

1) I have nothing against the production of a small batch of minis of the Nova II - I mean, below the 50 or so models.

2) EFNI is copyrighted (U.S, Congress Libruary deposit) - I did this in order to avoid mass appropriation of the containts of the site by people that, later, tried to copyright it as their own. Small bumps in the past...

3) From EFNI main page: "This site is intended to be only for recreational purpose, it hasn't profit purpose. Babylon 5, characters, names, and all related indicia are trademarks of the Time Warner Entertainment Co. LP. Pictures from Babylon 5 are ©1992-1997 Time Warner Entertainment Co.

The drawings and fanfictions related to this page are Non - Canon, are not intended as an offense to nobody, are not intended as a violation of copyrights."

4) If Mongoose (that owns the copyrigts for Babylon5-verse minis) has nothing against your use of Nova II of EFNI conceptual design for the creation of a mini, for me, you can build a master and produce some resin copies (see point 1). Take into account that the copyright on the B5-Verse of the ships models is theirs...I don't want their lawyers jumping at my throat...

TO MONGOOSE PUBLISHING EDITORS/P.R. PERSONNEL: HOW CAN I CONTACT ONE OF YOU?

please, email me at webmaster@efni.org

Thanks in advance - L.M.Trentadue.

some suggestions for the crusade Nova
The Nova has always been about how many guns can we fit & fire at our opponent- well it has to me - so I thought about the following abilities for it

1) Devastating Broadside I - pick 1 target in the port or starboard arc (not both) add 1/2 current AD from opposite side rounded down. All these AD now attack that target only. No other weapons may fire. This is available as the opposite side guns are brought to bear but due to limited arc cannot fully engage all guns.

2) Devastating Broadside II - pick 1 target in the port or starboard arc (not both) add 1/2 current AD from opposite side rounded down. 1/2 new total of AD rounded down & attack all targets within 3" of original target including original target with this new total of AD. This is similar to above but instead of directing fire to 1 target the firing vessel just throws out large amounts of firepower into the area saturating it.

3) All Fire to Front - pick 1 target in front arc & add 1/2 current AD from both port & starboard arcs rounded down & fire at target with new total. No other weapons may fire except rear arc. This is available as side weapons are brought to bear on front arc

....In terms of firearcs, anyway, the Nova II is designed to be able to fire ALL hers artillery at once against a frontal target. So, good all around firepower, but devastating frontal salvo.
 
Oh. very nice. very good news. The thanks are on my side, Mr. Trentadue.
i think this are good news for all people theres want an model of the ship. and a cast limit of 50 is very fair. i don´t think i come over this number.

a lot of thanks, again.... for you time and the nice concepts.
regards, Alex Krauße
 
This is way too cool. cant thank all of those involved too much, for making this cool ship a possibilty for us fans of the show and the game :D.
 
ok, now. all problems are now cleared.
and i am very happy about this.
to all people who wants the Crusade Nova, please have a little bit patience. i inform your here on this tread when i am ready to receive your orders. OK?

about the Boreas and the Pegasus....i must make the mold for the pegasus and i am think i resculpt the boreas... i am not happy about the scale. this must be smaller.... keep watch this tread. see you.. :wink:

I have to say Alexander this is looking even better than the Charybdis, i am going to want a few of these, I just cant resist anything with the word DREADNOUGHT in the title (i do love that word). :wink: :twisted:

OOhhhhh more ships for me to blow up! Can you sculpt a bulls eye on them as well? Just to give my whitestars something to aim at . . . . you know.

:D
 
Thankyou Mr Trentadue! Excellent news.

Alexander, I'm going to want the new Nova (or two) and a Valerius (salivates...)

*Being patient* :D
 
@ Urobach: How much do you think each ship will cost? I'm definitely interested.

How powerful do you intend this ship to be? I know it's supposedly more powerful than the Novas and Omegas. How does it compare in performance to a Warlock/Nemesis? What are its specific targets?
 
the moulds for the Quasar are ready and must dry a few days.

i think during the next week or in two weeks i can start. and i must finish the remaining valerius orders, first. i have only time to make one project. and a lot of people want an new Liati design. i must make this, too. a lot of work... :roll:

to the price question: i calculate the price between 10 and 15 Euros,- not more...i mean this is fair.

to the stats: i think the fire support role is an good role for the Quasar. like the old Nova. show your broadside and ripp them off with an hail of fire... :twisted:

i ask often the players here in the forum about stats. i am not so good in making such things. i am better in making ships. :wink:

Your work is much appreciated. No rush. We can't rush such a good ship (or a model of it) into service. Besides it gives me time to work on the cash. Cause I'm thinking two or three :wink:

They'll be in resin, I presume?
 
OK, what do you think about these stats ?

PL: Battle
Speed: 8
Damage: 60 / 20
Craft: 2 Starfury Flights
Turn: 1 / 45°
Crew: 52 / 15
Hull: 6
Troop: 2
Special Rules:
Interceptor 4, AF 4, Flight-Computer, Jumpengine


Weapon | Arc | Range | AD | Special

Fusion Pulse | F | 15" | 16 | AP, TL
Fusion Pulse | P | 15" | 12 | AP, TL
Fusion Pulse | S | 15" | 12 |AP, TL
Fudion Pulse | A |15" | 8 |AP, TL
Railgun | T | 15" | 8 |AP, DD
 
These stats are only first think, and not perfect (or realy balanced).

CINCEFNI hat written, that theis ship has more firepower to the front (which will be inline with the new EA desings, which now have more firepower to the fron).
So I think 16 AD will be good.

And the Ship has "upgraded" Pulse Cannons, so I guess AP, can simulate this and a higher range.
And TL or DD is not "good", because its more a Centauri Ion-Cannon.
And AP,DD looks more like a Railgun, so I think AP, TL fits better.


About damage and Crew I guess only the stats and thought, that this ship should get on or two more points on Damage as the Omega, but fewer Crew, because of the Flight-Computer.
 
I'd say reduce the forward guns and boost the side guns. Maybe 10AD for the forward guns and 14AD for the port and starboard ones. The Nova has always been a broadside ship so it's more thematically appropriate. Might still need to be downgraded though as compared to the Omega it's tougher(higher damage and crew plus more interceptors), and packs a lot more firepower on the secondaries(more AD, more range, and they're TL/AP as opposed to the Omega's just being TL). The only advantage the Omega has is that primary beam weapon, slightly better AF, and 2 extra starfury flights which I'm not sure balances out the increases you've given it. Oh yeah, give it lumbering. It might be advanced but we can argue it's big and loaded with so many guns that it had to make sacrifices on the engines. Maybe drop all the starfuries(so many damn guns that they couldn't even put a proper fighter bay in) and lower the interceptors to 3? That might balance it.

And I kind of want one of these too even though I don't play EA. :lol:
 
OK, you think more about these stats :

PL: Battle
Speed: 8
Damage: 56 / 20
Craft: 0
Turn: 1 / 45°
Crew: 52 / 15
Hull: 6
Troop: 2
Special Rules:
Interceptor 3, AF 4, Flight-Computer, Jumpengine, Lumbering


Weapon | Arc | Range | AD | Special

Fusion Pulse | F | 15" | 10 | AP, TL
Fusion Pulse | P | 15" | 14 | AP, TL
Fusion Pulse | S | 15" | 14 |AP, TL
Fusion Pulse | A |15" | 8 |AP, TL
Railgun | T | 15" | 8 |AP, DD
