Not impressed with new ISA models what's the consensus?

Sheridan in a Blue Star... hmm, 1 Raid point.

Extrapolating the existing points cost for Sheridan, placing him in a Blue Star would make the whole combo cost 1 Skirmish point.

Oh yeah... duh... brainfart.

any ship that can remove 2 drakh light cruisers, 1 scout and 2 raiders from the board in one turn (not to mention a Morshin caught in an explosions) can't be that bad! and i quite like the bluestar.

WTF?!? Where? How? When?

was in a game a few weeks back, I'll admit the scout only had 3 damage points left! but that ship just sliced through me like a big slicey thing!

Personally, I rather like the carrier, although i would say the paintjob is important. the model for the gunship is a tad pap, but I think a lot of people hugely under rate it, any ship that can remove 2 drakh light cruisers, 1 scout and 2 raiders from the board in one turn (not to mention a Morshin caught in an explosions) can't be that bad! and i quite like the bluestar.

but my point was that it looks weak, it may be able to destroy all those but it looks like its an underfed white star thats been trodden on, its not exactly scary is it?

The Carrier stats are OK, and with a liberal application of green stuff it looks fine, The gunship is likewise improved with a little after casting sculpt work, but the stats seem odd, especially the weapons choice. I really expected a gunship to carry all, well, guns, not slow loading missiles. A rail gun system instead of missiles would make sense.

Blue star model is OK, but again the stats are awful. Why build the most undergunned ship possible, then release it against the little EA turd with wings which has a ton of firepower. Makes no sense.

Interesting line in a call to arms, Sheridan expresses disappointment in the regular firepower of the Victory, something like, no more firepower than a whitestar. Hmmmmm. As someone who has yet to actually hit anything with a white star (66 rolls and 66 misses with the primary weapon) I find the 1 d a bit thin.

But the model is good. 8)

usually seem to do quite well when Greg plays them - plenty of hits and plenty of criticals.........

Maybe I'm be a prat but it seems like the more ISA models that come out the more disappointed I'm getting.

Is it me or do other folks think that the new ISA ships (ISA carrier, White Star Gunship, Blue Star) just don't measure up?

Even the new Drakh carrier doesn't look really Drakh from what I've seen? I'm curious how others feel? I would have thought that with the new ships they'd move away from the white star form factor for something completely new.

I'm suggesting maybe Mongoose should start opening it's doors to fan based submissions for ship ideas? Let fans with new ideas start putting designs out there. So far I've not been real impressed with the new Mongoose designs.

I've stopped buying alot of the new ships out of lack of interest.

exactly what i mean... you have hit the nail on the head. :wink:
the blue star is ok,
the EA myrmidon...ahmmm...is this still B5...or stargate :twisted:
the new drakh carrier...i am worried,about this :?
