Well you could always run one as the generic and one as the enterprise.

Great news. Glad they are releasing more Dominion ships going forward.

So, apparently, the NX-01, the small borg cube, a Vulcan ship, etc are coming out too, anyone else kinda tired of all the OLD, and weak ships coming out? give us some modern heavy hitters, like the Akira, Nebula, Saber, Steamrunner, etc.

We are probably not going to see the Akira, Streamrunner, or saber classes untill everything with on screen captains and crew are done. They would have to completely make up stuff for those ships so if wizkids ever get to them it will not be anytime soon. But maybe they will be an OP prize but I think a general release for those 3 is a long way down the road.
Though it does bother me that they will be slowing down to only 3 ships per release.

I am right there with you, Plaguelord. Akira is at the top of my list, followed by the Scimitar, Steamrunner, Dauntless and Norway. I'd love to see how they do V'Ger, just for poops and giggles. If they released some of the apocryphal ships, like the Aventine, Titan or Merian classes, I would be ecstatic.

It wasn't too bad of a review. He pretty much acknowledged that he didn't have too much experience, and was going off of hearsay for most of his comments. It IS a lot like x-wing, so I can see that if someone isn't too into the theme, that these games will seem too samey. He's not known for his amazing analysis to begin with, so I'm not too upset.

Seriously though, if you're going to do a review article, you should attempt to do the research, and btw, him calling Romulans space elves... Yeah, that pretty much told me he wasn't going to be objective with his analysis...

I think that was less a review than an attempted comedy "trash-talk" piece. Poor guy just comes across as an ignoramus, though.

Nice fleet. Look esp good next to the space station.
Might be a stupid question, but where did you get ds9 from?
Not enough D7's for my liking though

At the Winnipeg Comic Con a few months ago. Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko) and Walter Kroenig (Pavel Chekov) were there. It's a Playmates toy with lights and sounds. I used it twice the day I got it at the Comic Con. Here are the two video batreps I did just after I picked it up:

I'm planning to use it again this Saturday and will post more batreps.

On a side note, between my friends and I we have ALOT of attack wing stuff. I heard that xwing is coming out with fleet rules for 300 pt games.
Does anyone know if there's going to be fleet rules for AW? Or if anyone's created fan rules for large scale battles?

The rules work just fine for larger point games. We have played 300 points before with no problems. We are hoping to play 500-600 points over the holidays. Just increase the table size and you are fine. The only dicey part is placing ships but to speed it up we either roll off battle stations to see who deploys their whole fleet first or we have also tried secret deployment, where we write it down the both sides put stuff out at the same time. It gets the game moving faster.

Hey fellas!!
I finally found this thread again!! i got lost in some of the others..
So our FLGS ran the OP1 and I ran a 2 Cardassian ship list. I wont bore you with the builds, but the Klingon player won. I came in 8th out of 10. Our shop imposed a faction only build rule, so i suffered to higher skill captains, but it was fun and i was able to trade the Klingon player for his Ferengi ship the next day!!
I have had a chance to play OP2 in a playtest. It was fun. I ran a 3 cardassian ship build with gul dukat and martok and khan...it was fun. I played along the board egde opposite the other player and forced him across two orbital platforms, and then manuvered around to destroy one of his ships. Time ran out on the game and I won by points.
So on our next OP - which will be OP 2, im going to play the same strategy. Deploy opposite the opponent and force them to cross the OWP's and then circle back on the enemy. Our FLGS has lifted the single faction restriction so now im going to use Kyle on the Kraxon to regen and heal the fleet as we pass the OWP's on the board edges..

Deathwing Crusader, I love your fleet! It looks awesome! I wonder however, how you model the difference between a K'Voort and a B'rel?
Also, there's a Star Trek Tactics version of one of those background ships from TNG that was used for everything, which should work great as a Klingon transport/tender/freighter with just a quick repaint.

Is the B'Rel model different from the K'Voort? Is the difference just on the cards? I only have Tactics stuff so far, so I don't get how you tell the difference.

Hi Guys, Bit of a noob question here, I have a lot of the heroclix models and was looking at using some of these to bulk out my fleets.
Is it possible to get hold of extra attack wing bases?
I've seen some people have coloured bases, are these a third party replacement?

it's the quiet ones you have to look out for. Their the ones that change the world, the loud ones just take the credit for it. |

No, the colored bases are an OP prize. As of now, there are no ways of getting extra attack wing bases.
Plus, you'd need more of the stat bases anyways, cause the ships only come with one... :/

Ok, I think I am starting to lean towards the idea of faction pur builds. We had a none OP tournament today and it was a little boring seeing Picard in every fleet. Early on it was we needed to mix things up because there were only a few ships, but now it doesn't seem necessary. Now there are plenty of ships with lots more on the way.
What do you guys think? Would faction pure fleets actually bring about more diversity in the builds? We might see koloth in more klingon fleets than picard or dominon players might actually use thot gor.

Sovereign class is coming later next year, so too is Constitution-refit and NX-01. Plus lots of Borg and some Vulcans
I am definitely in favour of faction-pure. I hate seeing Picard & Martok on everything
