I for one intend to use GZG fighters in games involving a certain popular SF background rather than the "official" miniatures because I expect Jon's stuff to be much more in scale with capital ship minis -- _anyone's_ capital ships! Not to mention cheaper and much more easily availabel. Hence my stocking up on GF fighters, especially Star Tigers, P'Taah and Kantauris fighters (um, isn't that last name a _little_ close to their inspiration for comfort?). And, of course, Sa'Vasku drone ships. Now all us TV-SF fans have to do is convince Jon to expand the range more. We need tri-laterally symmetric fighters, rehashed A-12s (i.e., triangular aerofoils) and teeny little squids to go with the above classes, and maybe a new kind of Star Tiger with a long nose and a gatling gun <g>. A few other designs for other TV shows would be nice, too. Something like a Viper from Battlestar Galactica would be good (I've already commented that NSL heavy fighters make good Cylon Raiders if you cut their noses off). I daresay the SAAB fans -- yes, there are some, though I'm not one -- would like a Hammerhead -- or did Jon already do that with the UNSC Hammer class? Over to you, Jon... Phil
