Ooooooh pretty
The question remains though....... When ?
Hopefully as soon as possible. But looking at the release of special ship packs, no sooner as autumn.
I hope so Kamil, the scarcity of ships is soon going to affect the game, in UK at least, if my experience at shows is anything to go by.
For myself I enjoy the game enough to wait, but it has been a couple of years since we had new ships.
In Poland, availability is inadequate. At my regional supplier to buy are just less interesting units. On eBay you can see it too (without overpaying). So, hopefully as quickly as possible :pray:
Hurrah! That ship looks beautifle!
Ships are usually available online arent they? If all else fails, surely we can buy them directly?
Hi Hugh, the last three shows we attended in March, not a single trader had any ships.
Amazon have them for sale, but if you look at these a lot are from the States.
Ebay have some still on sail, but prices are variable, I have seen IGUK still have some ships but not many so supplies are dwindleing, not seen a starter set for nearly a year on sale at a show and only a few on line.
All not lost yet but we need a new infusion to keep it going, Victory and Constitution helped but even they are getting less
Thank you for the pictures! :salute:
As a non-Facebook-user, I would have easily missed out on them.
Thanks for the photos. I was hoping for more news and some better close ups, but I'll take what I can get at this point. I'm very anxious to see the Spanish First Rates. :happy:
Ironically this news comes one year past receipt of HMS Victory and USS Constitution at the US warehouse and almost three years after the conclusion of the successful Kickstarter campaign.
As for SoG ship availability, here in the US finding ships at the local game or hobby store is nigh impossible. We have to go to online retailers to get most everything.
Now that is a much sharper picture than I was getting on the Facebook page.
Thanks Kamil.
Rob.
Any news on ship numbers? Maybe a couple of each rate?
Only two pictures for now. I'll keep an eye on Facebook news.
Wave Three:
--3x2 Spanish First Rate
--3x2 Spanish 74-gun Third Rate
--3x2 French 64-gun Third Rate
--3x2 British 50-gun Fourth Rate
I'll share more of the Inside Baseball when Ares formally announces the SKU's and names, but this block is SGN109 through SGN112.
Is a 50 gun basically a super frigate?
In this case it's a "cruiser"--a two-and-a-half-decker not big enough for the Line of Battle, but having a second full gun-deck precludes it from being a true frigate. Example, a ship like HMS Leander.
Thank you for the new information, Diamondback. :thumbsup:
Thank you for clarifying Diamondback!
It's not really new information though. It's been on this forum for a few months. This and the next wave.
Right, Jonas. Good luck prying a Sticky out of site-staff, though... :P
I wonder what ships we will get.
How I wish I could tell you... (NDA, remember my "View From Inside" post?) There's gonna be plenty of star attractions in this set, though, I'll tell you that.
I dont mind, I will be glad to have the missing links from the fleets I already have!
I'll resist the urge to push you into telling us. Just tell me this, am I going to be as excited when it comes out as I imagine I'm going to be? It almost has to include the Santisima Trinidad right?
Dimondback, R U some kind of developer team member?
There will not be any Santissima since she's not of the los meregildos or Santa Ana-class. She is a one of a kind and would only work as a special.
(Diamondback: It would have been a given sticky to keep upcoming releases easy to find.)
I don't particularly want Santissima Trinidad! - more generic ships are much more my cup of tea!
I have to say, I agree.
I like to have famous ships. I enjoy coming up with scenarios to try and sink them.
DB was part of the team , along with a couple of other site members, who assisted and therefore privvy to the the developement and design, I believe, of the new wave and beyond. But all are not allowed to tell us yet :(
For ,me, I'm please we getting Spanish, would like the STrin as a centre piece but happy we getting a couple of new 74 and 100+ ships.
I just hope its pretty soon is all :)
It was very pleasing to see the photos of the pre-production ships. Looking forward to future updates.
As I have understood it, Diamondback has specifically made facts about historical ships and ship-classes and copies and variations of those available to Ares so they have the data available when making their choices of what ships to make. I know he has made suggestions of what ships to produce that sometimes are followed and sometimes not. He's done a lot of work for the game and our community and he's not in their employ.
I want both specials and more general ships but I'll buy one or two of specials but more of a ship class that was widely used like the Téméraire.
The stats are available here in the forum somewhere and it's just a repaint of the Téméraire so you can make one yourself out of a Commerce de Bordeaux.
Then there's the collector's side of it...
Missed this picture for 3 days... :smack:
Thank you, Kamil.
Rep gun fired! :cannonboom:
