Hyperions on the horizon?

[EDFDarkAngel1]

It wasn't actually called the Interstellar Alliance until a few episodes after Sheridan liberated Earth.

So no idea as to a release date?

 

[GhostRecon]

They took the Hyperion down, so I can imagine it will happen "soon"-ish...

My question, though, is how long will it take the new Hyperions to percolate down to other distributors? I buy from FRPGames, for example, and would love to get my hands on the new Hyperions (Especially since the three I have are relatively shoddy in quality; I have one that has like, a 5mm shift in through the whole centerline of the ship, so one side of the ship is 5mm further back than the other. Took an hour of dremel work just to get it passable )

It's ISN for InterStellar News, though... :wink:

Indeed but that's a completely different entity which can choose its own acronyms, and since the use of IA was made in an actual B5 show, written by JMS (who admittedly changes his mind about things every five minutes) I was using that...

They took it down months ago.

Bond99 is right, the engine bells appear to be arranged improperly.

Hmm, maybe they wanted to have the engine bells arranged into an "A", as in Alliance. :wink:

That way, when they shoot you and then run away they're telling you who to declare war on when they show you their arse end. :lol:

More seriously, they might need some modding if that turns out to be the case.

As I am spanking new at this and have minis on the way, does the older model have a straight row of three?

 

[Chernobyl]

I believe the vertical axis-offset is exagerrated on the model. In any event, on the old hyperions the engine bells just fit over a little bump on the back. if theyre still that way, is could be just a modelling error in the photos. We won't know until someone reports in on the ones they have bought.

That sounds easy to mod, even if a mistake was made. So, no worries about removing bumps, eh?

 

[Chernobyl]

just a number 10 x-acto blade and you're fine.

Oh, somebody read my post :lol: thx! :wink:

 

[Chernobyl]

Well, I remembered you were correct, but I'd forgotton how little the difference in offset is. Its not much at all.

 

[BuShips]

Chern, in your picture it looks as though there is a slight V-shape to the placement pattern.

 

[Chernobyl]

yeah, its a very "shallow" V

So, are the Hyperions still coming Matt?

 

[Greg Smith]

He's said they'll be out later this week. But order them quickly, cos they'll be gone in 6 weeks.

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Maybe even before then. A lot of panic is going on...
