So, what now?

[admiralb]

yes...but maybe not such big names as Blackheart, Titan, or Connie...more like ships/crew that need to be upgraded...like HMS Antelope, Carolina, Charlamange, Luys de Alva...you know...ships/crew that never get played because they have such limited usefulness...I can see sneaking a few bigger names in though, like Hawkins...he's always fun and could have more versions than any other crew (still waiting for the Jack that "Harbingers").

...this is suppose to be a stand-by option that if we can't do anything else, we can just upgrade existing ships...of course ideally I'd love to see new actual printed styrene game pieces, but until then maybe we just release some new stats/abilities for existing ships/crew that are fairly "useless" right now and see where that takes us...maybe later on we can do a set that's actually punched stryene...this is more a way of tiding people over until we can get something that is closer to a real set out there...am I being clear?

crew would probably be easiest...just do something like the BC prize crew, printed on cardboard type material with instructions on the bottom to use the chit from another existing card...(does anyone actually do that anymore? I've never punched a large portion of my crew because we just put all the crew underneath the deckplate for the ship they're on board and reveal them as needed by sliding the cards out so the crew's chit is showing). either way, plus there's already a bunch of existing artwork for crew...I've actually modified Gentil de la Barbinais before with El Fantasma's eyes and made them yellow to make a demonic version of Arathiel...it was eerie...yet fun!

one more thing...miniaturetrading is holding a ship design contest...go check it out...I suppose if we asked nicely they might let us use some of the entries to make new ships when need be.

Yeah, that'd actually be a good idea, I'd like to see cruddy ships (like La Repulsa or La Manila) get actually good abilities.

It is true that this is probably a last ditch effort, but I still think that it would be fun to do.

[cannonfury]

so whats the basic rundown now, are we going with styrene, stickers, a miracle, or something else? cause i dont see much happening in the production forums and general forums about the ships and how things are going

[Harmon758]

Ya, there hasn't been much activity lately, but I think we're still waiting for the styrene companies.

[cannonfury]

so we move for patience. mines wearing thin

[lord_denton]

I can't do anything, the reason stated in the companies thread, and the few people willing to commit to production either are to young or disappear off the face of the earth.

[vladsimpaler]

I just thought of this. Would Plasticard work?

[admiralb]

that's not what Behemoth and co. are printed on is it? because those things don't stay together very well...if not, we might want to investigate further...
