A: For the moment, I'd just slightly revise the existing NAC class stats and
tweak them to your liking; any suggested stats for the new ships are always
welcome on the list!

B: We'll be sending masters to Eureka in due course, but it's up to them when
they get them into production; in the meantime we'll be happy to supply you
direct.

Santa: unlikely....  Easter Bunny: just maybe....  ;-)

As with the recent new ESU releases, the new NAC classes will (for the time
being) be available alongside the old ones. However, as the current batch of
moulds for the older versions come to the end of their life we may not replace
them, so don't expect the old classes to be available for ever..... I'd
suggest that if you want to complete fleets of the older designs, you get them
sooner rather than
later.  ;-)

And yes, there WILL be some package deals announced as soon as the
production moulds for the new stuff are made - watch for
announcements in the next few days!

Watch this space....  ;-)

http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lJust a query joh,
will these new ship classes you have just cast for the N.A.C replace the
equivalent old ones, or are they just more eye candy for us to choose from,
and will you be doing new fleet deals with these ships included, perhaps the
oh my god I cant believe it ways more than my cat deal. lol

cheers james. p.s have you or in the future perhaps do you intend to do
various faction drop shuttles and barges,eg invasion stuff.it's just the boys
are sick of falling threw the atmosphere, it's not so much the fall but the
sudden stop at the end.
