Hope that the momentary slip(S) from your usual splendid prose was due to
concern for the trapped Icebird in Antarctic waters.
BTW I concur that variable speed is the best option. I use an old model train
controller to give a variable speed to an old fixed speed hobby drill. Dremel
are excruciatingly expensive here in the wetlands of Queensland.

Oh she'll be out soon, there's an icebreaker on the way and glitches like that
happen a lot.... one of the joys of working in Antarctica;)

Re Dremel

If you cut acrylic with a jig saw, you may find the acrylic melts and welds
back together where you've just cut. We advised people to reduce the speed,
and put some soap or something on the blade to reduce friction. Don't know how
applicable that would be to resin (since I don't know what the "resin"
is...which of 800 kinds of
plastic are we talking about?) but it's a thought--absolutely free,
and worth every penny!

And I suspect will fit right in with the UFP fleet I'm trying to build.
(Ok,
and a Sathar one too... which ships look best as Sathar?:o)
***
Out of curiosity, are you asking if there are figs LIKE the old TSR Sathar,
and would fit well beside them, or what would be good as a whole new
fleet-type?
I see the old lead for sale often, usually not terribly expensively, and the
box set has a wide variety of sizes. The smooth curves with
50's-60's
style is a nice contrast to the almost Victorian/iron-steampunk of the
Feds.
As far as vermiform, I'm trying to remember if they were segmented. That WOULD
be an interesting looking fleet.

Having just watched the latest episode of nadesco, martian succesor, I was
wondering about anime inspiored designs for full thrust. My take on the
nadesco would be using the suggestion made on the list a while ago about using
the BFG weapons (nova cannon, wave gun) like the phalic, sorry phalon, plasma
cannons. This was along the lines of the published stats in the book
for these weapons were the class 1/1st level weapons, and could be
multiplied for higher class weapons. This I find a good sugestion for
representing the OTT weapons/main guns used on vareous anime starships
(after all, the macross`s main gun could take out a fleet of ships if they
flied in front of it). This is a call to the more experianced rules layers out
there, because I have some ideas to bounce off you.
1-Would ANYbody actually use a nova cannon for long range fire, because
any ship could maneuver out of it`s path by the third turn, any generate a
clean miss (a nsl sd MIGHT get hit, it`s thurst is so pitifully low (I think
(of course, if I`m wrong, somebody tell me))).
2-Would a x5 wave gun require 6 power points, or thirty power points to
fire at max power? My leanings are towards 6 power points, with if the weapon
fails a threshold check/hit by a needle gun, each accumilated power
point causes 1D6 points of dammage for a Cl.1 gun, 2D6 for a Cl.2 gun etc.
3-Anime uses mecha extensivly, especially in space. What would be a good
way to represent or design mecha for use in FT (this I don`t even have any
ideas for yet). For this, I keep thinking about the mecton Z book, which had a
system of scaling equipment/weapons/whatever, that allowed you to design
anything from powered armour to starships, using the same construction rules.
4-Has anybody made up a list, with general notes on weapon
loads/defences/fighter or mecha compliments etc, of vareous anime for
insperation? After all, we`ve already got the phalons from outlanders.
My design for the nadesco would have 2x fighter bays (for the mecha), 4x 6arc
Cl.2 bats (support weapons), a Cl.4 wave gun (to represent the gravaton
cannon, whith seams to be able to destroy almost any ship it hits), and 2x
sheilds, with a reasonable armour and hull, because this ship can take a lot
of punishment.

Cl.2 Bats (6arc)x4 12 36 Fighter Bays x2 18 54
(+mecha/fighters)
This is just a VERY rough draft, and I`m sure I`ve overlooked somethink in
designing it.
