Had to take an extended break to avoid burnout - getting back on the horse this weekend.

neato! I think I still have my trek models lying around somewhere...

I don't disagree at all, but I plan on doing another thread later for squadrons. I suppose I should play my own game, a little - I'm going to opt to simply do #2 at this time. Yavaris - Nebulon-B title; 6 points - Squadron Command : Choose one squadron you activate. That squadron can attack twice if it does not move during your activation. (+1 point cost and limit it to one squadron. I think this will still give that Yavaris Flavour without overwhelming the pallet. It makes Yavaris a little more vulnerable to being countered because clearly people are going to burn tokens on that one squadron's attack and actually opening up interesting options - do I use my good bomber, or do I feint by double-tapping with my second-best?, etc) Cluster Bombs - Defensive Retrofit; 3 points: (same as vanilla card) (Just reducing the point cost to make it a more attractive option) Redundant Shields - Defensive Retrofit; 8 points: Exhaust this card to gain a number of engineering points as though you just spend an Engineering Token. These points can only be spent recovering shields. (I don't like the wording on this, but I feel like it gives this a bit more oomph, particularly on engineering-heavy ships but not tipping any major scales, I think? This is a shot-from-the-hip thing, though.)

Something like "After rolling dice loose one health to add two hits to your damage total" Still thematic to a degree, but isn't quite as "well, this is clearly the guy who crashed into the executor" and is broader use-case.

I love when people come up with new things, but I would like to see something about Arvel Crynyd that isn't about his kamikaze

Pick at least one of the following. In all instances, share your reasoning on how it would benefit the game without resorting to "because it sucks, etc" (If I can ask "how is that the case?" Or "why do you think that?" You haven't explained as much as you could have) 1) Name an upgrade card you wish didn't exist and why. 2) Name up to three upgrade cards you want nerfed, buffed, or altered. Explain how and why. 3) build at least one new upgrade card and explain what benefit it would have on gameplay. 4) constructively critique the contribution of a previous post in the thread beyond "yes good" or "this idea sucks". (Again, if I can ask "what makes you think that?" You haven't explained yourself well enough).

I figured they were, but do you sell the prints or are the prints used as a master of a mold?

Do you sell the print output or do you make a mold from the print and cast it in urethane or something?

I live in the most anti-Ohio place ever: New Jersey.

This may be the superior design, actually. Even better, combined this with version B, but make version B work by adding a magnet inside the ruler and at the end of the holder peg.

I'd use either one, but I think I prefer B to have a knob with some kind of nurling or a hex-bolt on it to avoid the aforementioned accidental spinning.

My money is on U wing, and the rogue one Ties being a thing. Hopefully we'll get a set of medium based ships, but we'll see.

This.

Arq?

It's almost like the audience were only a secondary consideration for the game designers, as opposed to - you know - the players?

Just 3900 for now, but once I finish the lineup I can at about cutting everything on half. You realize that's a lot of detail that's just not gonna work anymore, right?

For those of you who are so inclined ( @DScipio for example ) I've opened up a Shapeways store with some Star Trek models. TMP-era and mostly feds for now, but I've got some really obscure designs like the Abbé, Chandley, and Ariel or the L24 or L9 for the Klinks. I won't ACTUALLY link it here because of reasons, but if if you look at my username, I'm sure you can figure it out.

absolutely fantastic.

As soon as Warcradle starts producing Firestorm Armada I am grabbing more Sorylian ships to convert to Star Wars armada as Corporate Sector Authority ships.

HOLY CRAP! I never thought of it like that and I really dig it!

Same, actually.

I like how you've framed that - really highlights that this is just an extension of an already-existing mechanic taken to its next logical step.

In point of fact, they didn't: upgrade bars are also app-only (which I'm not sure how I feel about that one). I like the app-based point value because things will be a **** of a lot easier to patch. Negative or free titles lack elegance. This is a new way to do it that's a logical outgrowth of the interwebs.

Seriously @cynanbloodbane - you need to show of your collection sometime.
