Recycle of noble armada in sfu

[archon96]

Just a thought as i was looking at some of the noble armada ships. Nice designs, i was curious are there any races in SFU that dont have ships designs yet that you could use recycled noble armada ships for, in order to speed their introduction.

As a point of comparison, something similar was done for the Early Years setting a couple of years back; ADB made an agreement with Iron Crown Enterprises to allow several ICE miniatures to be officially re-purposed as ships from the pre-Star Fleet Terran navy (which later became the first ships of the Earth National Guard), as well as the planetary fleets flown by the five species that would eventually found the Inter-Stellar Concordium (the Korlivilar, Pronhoulites, Q'naabians, Rovillians and Veltressai).

Although, in this case, I might wonder if the issue here might be complicated by Holistic Design's retention of the Fading Suns IP (which they also license to RedBrick for use with their RPG development in that setting).

There are plenty of empires in the broader Star Fleet Universe (mostly beyond the Alpha Octant) that could do with new ship designs, as well as several others which are noted in the background but which have yet to be introduced to any SFU-related game system that could, in theory at least, be up for grabs... were the ACtA:NA ships ever made available, at least. (And, of course, if the time ever came for one or more such models to be found useful for a given purpose; which by no means could happen overnight.)

Could make for somewhat concerning opponents if there is a reasonable attempt to match capability to model - most Noble Armada ships have clearly visible gun mounts and turrets; i.e. weapons which are bleedin' huge by SFU scale. The Heavy Meson guns most house dreadnoughts carry as a spinal mount are a good case in point.

Then again ships themselves are notably smaller aren't they? (if not then there's some notable IP price hike on the models

Maybe they are heavyweighters with glass jaws Might pack mean punch but hull scores will be notably smaller.
