Love for the Aliens

Hi guys,

There have been some mumblings recently about the EA getting a lot of attention, and questions raised about the alien races.

Well, first off, the EA are our biggest customers. By far. They are also relatively easy to produce models for (Tiger Starfury, Command Omega, for example), which means that, I am afraid, they will always get a fair bit of attention. Nature of the beast, I am afraid.

However, all is not lost if you are an alien. We are an equal opportunities ship yard so, as a sneak peek, expect to see in 2007;

Two new races - the pak'ma'ra and Gaim. And the Gaim will be like nothing you have seen yet. . .
The Psi Corps/Covert EA (okay, not technically alien).
The Technomage Pinnace (almost alien).
Drakh Mothership (already on its way to the office, I am told, along with the new Vree Z'Takk).
Drakh Patrol Cruiser.
Vree Xorth and Zonn.
Breaching Pods for everybody!
Drazi Firehawk.
Abbai Juyaca.
More Brakiri than you can shake a dead Llort at!

_If_ we get time, we are also going to start work on alien transport/civilian vessels (space stations slated for 2008 at the moment).

The ISA and EA get some more love too. Naturally. The evolution of the Thunderbolt, the Blue Star, Ranger frigates. We'll also be doing some 'one offs' that won't necessarily have a fleet list but can be used in special games - Hurr Gunships, Lumati Transports, Ipsha War Globes, and so forth. If any prove popular, we'll consider them fleet list material in the future.

Oh, and Jump Gates. . .

Hey Matt, you might want to throw the Dilgar a bone before they start to revolt again. :wink:

Funny you should say that - we are working on some variants as I type, and we are looking at some options for Patrol level craft. However, I have heard a rumour of a Dilgar Armageddon model floating around. Now, I haven't seen it, I don't know anything about it - and I certainly wasn't the one that commissioned it! However, if it proves true and is up to scratch, the Dilgar might be getting everything they wanted!

LOL. I was thinking that the Rishekur would be useful for them. As far as an Armageddon level ship, maybe we can give them a Whahant looking beast. Easy to sculpt, slower than sin, short ranged firepower. I think it would be perfect. ;)

Mages soon please Matt

Probably will be - the model is already sculpted, the rules already in place. I imagine as soon as the production models come back from our facility, we'll be moving ahead with it. . .

Just don't expect a fleet list. It is not. . . that kind of ship :)

going to put them with my White Stars
 
Matt, please tell us more about the Drakh Mothership.

Is it a complete resculpt or just from a new (hopefully better) mold?

Is it pewter or resin?

When will production models (and replacements) be available?

And I thought Christmas had already happened recently.

Gaim sound like they could be very interesting, can't wait to see, well anything about them.

Zorth and Xonn are they, could they be Vree light fighters and the Dreadnought ala B5W or something different? Would like to see the old Z'Takk 'basestar' still. I think it would have made a good Trading Post/Space Station type thing.

Abbai Dreadnoughts too...?

Though while your busy shelling out new and fun stuff to all the other races, can the Minbari get a little patrol cutter or something. Please?
 
As a Centauri Representative I feel left out.
However I am secretly giddy at the prospect of new stuff. I'll drown my races woes in Brevari. They won't know the difference.
 
I think the Minbari could use some more models. They have the fewest of any of the main races. The Neroon is cool (although I don't like - no - hate the thresholds). Send us some bonehead love.
 
well, an update is good, at last, atill some gaps, ie where the heck are the missing armegeddon ships, and I'd rather see complete existing fleets than new ones, but meh.

I wonder if Matt has ever thought, the reason they sell so much EA, is because they treat EA better... is it a chicken and egg situation?!
