Subject: [OFFICIAL GZG] UNSC ships....
More groovy stuff from Jon at GZG. Here's the latest from the FT list: OK, here's what is now out, and plannned for release in the next week or so; the masters for all these are part-built, and I'll be finishing them off after SELWG is out of the way. Note FT1112 and 1112A are actually available NOW, the others will be out very soon. You'll note I've used many of Tom B's ideas for class names - thanks, Tom! FT-1105 UNSC Destroyers (DD) x 2 - Lake class £2.25 FT-1106 UNSC Light Cruiser (CL) - Mountain class £1.95 FT-1108 UNSC Heavy Cruiser (CH) - River class £2.75 FT-1110 UNSC Battleship (BB) - Luna class £4.25 (Named for moons within Sol system - UNS Luna (class ship), UNS Callisto, UNS Ganymede etc) FT-1112 UNSC Superdreadnought (SDN) - Gaia class £7.95 (Named for continents and other major features/areas on Earth - UNS Pacifica, UNS Atlantis, UNS Africa etc) FT-1112A UNSC Extended-Range Superdreadnought (SDN-X) - Sol class £9.95 (Named for planets within Sol system - UNS Mars, UNS Terra, UNS Neptune etc.) I assume that as the UN fleet building program runs out of Sol-system names for the larger classes, they'll start on the worlds of the other Core systems, so don't worry about not having enough names for those twenty 1112As you're going to buy.... <grin> The ship posted to Tim and Mark's websites is an FT1112A Sol class SDN-X - the FT1112 is the same but with 2 drive units instead of 4, and lacks the cargo and tankage module between the "wings" and the drives.
