Fed squadron and fleet now up for pre-order
- Thread starter Poi
- Start date
Thought someone might beat me to it 
Would advise people wait for the 'official' announcement, as there will be a special offer included - just be patient for another hour or two

And Matt, don't forget to get someone to change the upcoming products list to include the links - they're still plain text atm...
Darn... I could do with a lottery win right now... I'm flat broke but there's so many good models... so darned many...
I might see about picking up one of the smaller boxes - but even that will be tight now.

All in hand - working on the Klingons at the moment, then the Romulans. Then the front page gets all the whistles and bells
Pah... not enough applications of the Klingon Pain Booth if you ask me... chuck a couple of members of staff in as an example and they'll work faster... :twisted:
Any news on what this special deal is too?
(Yes, I know I'm impatient... although part of it is actually having been busy for once this year... if things keep like this, I'll be able to afford some!!!)

Again with the Klingons...
Very much looking forward to this offer is.. Maybe you'll get me to buy a full Federation fleet rather then just the Constitution-class for my Dad.
Okay, for loyal fans glued to this thread...
The special offer is this;
Pre-Order more than £100 or $150 (not that hard if you are doing the rounds with the squadron sets, or looking at the fleet sets), and we will send you a Federation Command Cruiser for free.
This is not a model we are looking to put into production (indeed, with most variants you can use the base model - in this case the Heavy Cruiser), and as it is not 'essential' we are going to be offering it to collectors on a promotional basis. In fact, we are likely to do one model a year on this basis.
Don't worry if you cannot take advantage of the deal now - there will be plenty of opportunities to pick one up throughout 2012, probably for free, so don't panic.
As I said, it is not an 'essential' ship, as most players will simply use the Heavy Cruiser. But it is something a little bit special, and there may not be many of them flying about (relatively speaking), so if you want a unique touch to your Federation fleet, it is there for you!

Whats the different between the pocket rulebook and the standard?
No Tholians today, or for a little while - let us get the first wave out of the door first
The pocket book has all the rules and the full fleet lists for Federation, Klingon and Romulan (the mix of fleets will change in future fleet sets), but lacks the background chapters, most scenarios and the campaign.
It would be enough to bring to a tournament, say, but you will really want a copy of the hardback to get everything out of the game.
The contents of the Fed fleet box appeared to have changed again. No "new" cruisers?
Not complaining, I far prefer the "older" vessels, but I am surprised. I suppose this way you actually get proper squadrons of the smaller vessels, which perhaps is more practical for them. (Also, I guess newcomers aren't overwhelmed with too many different types of vessel). I like the idea.
However, we are also back to having two battlecruisers. Which is rather curious.
All that said.... WOO HOOO! Jolly well done ADB and Mongoose! I hope this turns out to be a roaring success for you both.

Excellent just what is wanted I feel - the 40 Black Reach book was a brilliant inovation and this should be just as useful

What opportunities? Conventions etc…..? (Ebay? :lol: :lol
Remember some of us get a lot of hassle (and pain) for traveling 300 miles for a "game"…!! :lol:
I am guessing from what you are saying is that there is no direct tactical advantage to just having the model. (Played a game a (good) few years back where a special release unit toasted everything till it was nerf’ed)

What about a £99.98 order, say a fleet + Squadron box, only 2 p short, would that qualify for the free model?

Now, I know you work in a technical profession
Since when does 99.98 equal 100?

They won't appear on eBay (well, not from us...), but they will certainly be at conventions.
And no, you are not getting access to a ship in the game no one else has - the Command Cruiser is simply an upgrade to the Heavy Cruiser, so you can use that model. However, now and again we may do models like this that have the upgrade bits and pieces on it. They are not intended for general sale, but we will give plenty of opportunities for those who want them.
Really, they are just something 'cool' to have.
Finlos said:The question I'm sure now on everyone's mind: When do the pre-orders ship??
They will start to go out in about two weeks time - we are watching demand carefully (yeah, it looks like this game is going to be quite popular
), but place your order this month and we will certainly guarantee it before Christmas, wherever you are in the world, and however great the demand.
