Concerning the Blue Star - what's a "Dual Jump Drive" system?

All good things come to those who wait for 2e :)

Seriously, it is a bit of fluff we pick up on in the new rules, but not for 1e.

Aaaw now we have to wait for 2nd ed :-(

Tell us more! Don't just tease this way :lol:
 
I like the Bluestar and new Brakiri. Would have liked more detail on the Brakiri ship though. I know Mongoose can do detail, the Z'takk has great detail :)
The LCV will take some getting used too. Not very EA looking :)
The plans for the new Drakh ship look good too.
 
what bugs me is about the blue star and white star fighters. until 2e comes they are going to be competing with each other aren't they? whilst the stats for the blue stars are being done, any chance of changing the white star fighters stats (or at last their cost) even if its just a stop gap until 2e?

well in 1e i guess you could house rule it that it can make another jump point after 2 turns not 3.

or after 0 turns

prob there is people would leave them in hyperspace opening JPs if you did it like that Emp. i was thinking more of game balance.
 
Wow, I guess I'm in the minority as I really don't care for them.

The Brakiri reminds me of planes from Crimson Skies or from some alternate WWII universe than Brakiri design. I mean just add propellers and you've got something from Secrets of the Third Reich.

The EA is so out there in design that it doesn't seem EA at all. The Blue Star seems ok I guess but the front reminds me of the nose of concorde planes.

With the posts I've read about the B5 RPG books and the minis I've seen so far tells me that Mongoose isn't good at making stuff up on their own.

Oh well, at least I'll be saving money this time around :)
 
All these new Brakkiri ships are very tempting. Might have to see if I can pick up a Brakkiri fleet box on the cheap when second edition comes out.
 
On the whole these minis are better quality. Still, competitive market out there when it comes to wargamers and their money.

Why oh why didn't we get one of these (Monsoon Class Gunboat):

Super detailed info, specs and background here.
 
I have to say I like them all.

Even The EA ship... I don''t see the need to make sure all the ships look the same or even have the same design elements... at no point in the EA's past have they had a common design theme (and they still field a pretty mixed bag during the Crusade Era as well).

I think the new Drakh ship looks ace, and when painted all striped will look fab.
 
was thinking that the mini for the Myrmidon would make a good ship for the Markab, a race that Mongoose hasn`t gotten around to doing yet.

even aog only made one mini for that race; Shafab Hvy Cruiser. :roll:
 
When I first saw the Myrmidon I thought it was a ship for a completly new race, I just couldn't figure out why it had been given a classical name. It certainly doesn't look like anything we have seen before for the EA. Jal was right, it does look like the fleeting look you got of a Markab ship. Just before they all died.
 
I really don't like too much the EA ship. I like when My fleet has some Uniniformability! It's totaly diferent filosofy in the hull. I just don't like it. But ISA and the Brakiri are ok. Brakiri look than will came a mayor power in crusaide era.


BTW: where is the love for the Centauri than Matt. promese?
 
To anyone that thinks the Myrmidon does not fit with the EA look here and please show me an overiding design element in previous EA ships?

If anything it is more EA themed than any of the new Crusade Era ships due to the fact it looks different.

And if you read the description it is a cross between a heavy fighter and a cutter... So it would have more in common with a Thunderbolt or a Star Fury.
 
I like the blue stars they look very in keeping with the white star feel.

Son't really like the other two though.

The EA ship does not look at all EA? and the Brakiri ship needs more detail.

Having said that I have been asked by a friend to pick some up on 5th May if they are available, does anyone know if the brakiri ship will be available on the 5th??
