Those are some great looking fighters!

The original launch asset pack contains:
8 bases of 3 Bombers
6 bases of 5 Fighters
2 bases of 1 Torpedo
Costs $30

These new packs are exactly half the size and cost $20. TTC hiding a price hike sucks, but TTC sucking is nothing new.

£20 & £12 in the UK.

Shrinkflation has come for my minis

All their USD prices jumped way above the conversion rate to incorporate the tariffs.

**Overread**

Asset packs feel like they are double the price they should be.

Fleet packs are fine price wise; but yeah assets feel really badly priced for what they are.

TTCombat: Advent Calendar Day 6, UCM Battlecruiser

The United Colonies of Mankind are ready to face all threats...

The United Colonies of Mankind are preparing to fend off the new Bioficer threat and have taken to humanity's shipyards to prepare new ships for the fight. A hulking Supercarrier, the Busan will play a key part in forcing back the approaching Bioficer fleet into the depths of space. Armed with the Elapid Laser Turret, UF-4200 Mass Driver Turrets, Arowana Missile Turrets and the Swordfish Missile Bays, this ship is a floating fortress. Thanks to it's hulking clamp, this ship operates as a Feature Carrier and can take UCM-specific features and deploy them across the battlefield.

The Busan is just one ship from a new wave of plastic Cruisers which will be releasing this coming year in Dropfleet Commander.

It could just be a bad angle, but that sure does look like the ugliest UCM model I've yet seen. It looks like it has a tiny fragile waist, an asymmetrical outrigger for the missile turret, a big goofy front laser turret, and the dangly bits. It's not at all AI generated, but it has the digested and regurgitated design look to it.

I hate it.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Something looks off in terms of perspective between the top prow and the bottom prow. Also, the vending machine claw holding the feature is goofy.

Other than that I actually like the hull, if not this particular loadout.

**CthuluIsSpy**

That is a weird ship. Is it even consistent with the rest of the UCM ship designs? It looks like 2-3 prototypes cobbled together in blender or whatever CAD program they use.

**slyphic**

Dave is by all accounts an AutoCAD man, assuming he's still the sole modeler.

**BobtheInquisitor**

The background says ten years of wartime advancement have passed, so I think it looks close enough to previous designs while also looking further developed due to evolving doctrine and tech. The old resin battlecruisers are much better-looking designs, but I’ll probably get the new plastic BCs in time.
