Ship markings and names for SF ACtA

[phoenixhawk]

Am I able to make up my own ship names and numbers or markings for SF ACtA or do I need to use the "official" names and hull numbers and such for ships for this game?

I like to invoke the rule of 'its your toy'

They're your ships, call them what you want, if you want a background reason why you have a ship with the same name as a famous ship, but its a different class, you can just say its a different universe and the names are different.

They are your models you can paint, name, and number them how ever you wish. Some of us are doing our own thing, some of us are using the official names that ADB and MGP have. The main idea is for you to enjoy the hobby.

Myself personally will be assigning new Names and NCC numbers to all my Federation ships. I will admit if a ship name I like is already in the Star Fleet Universe i will match the ship class. But any other new Names I will assign myself.

Just didn't know how that might work should I ever encounter an official Mongoose or ADB event or if I were to start doing demo games and such if the ships would need to be represented in some sort of "official" way.

I've already decided that the SFU exists in an alternate universe branched off from the canon ST universe so I can use different ship names and numbers and it won't matter much in the overall storyline lol

From what I have seen, Mongoose is very laid back as to official canon. For their tournaments it is probably reasonable that they would prefer WYSIWYG but as to names, the Golden Rule applies. You spent your gold, you make the rules.

You spent your gold, you make the rules.

Indeed. They are your toys!
