Subject: Ship styles (was Galoob SD....)

I just put together fleets of ships that have a similar look, regardless of background, and use them as generic ships. We tend to play one shot games in no specific universe, so it works out fine.... It might be an interesting thread to discuss various "looks" for fleets and what ships are available to fit each style. Many of the ships in the Starfleet 2300 line for SFB will go well with the Star Trek Micromachines. The old SpaceFleet tyranid minis from GW make good bioships. A bioship fleet can be pretty varied and look cohesive because they are all bioships. The old Silent Death fighters looked good with a variety of ships, especially the gunboats. The new SD models are all to curvey, and don't fit in with as many of my other models. A lot of the newer ones would probably look good with say Feregi cruisers or possible Minibari ships or any others with a lot of curving features... I've not been able to see many of the Superior ships. I've seen some of the monster Super Galacto-Dreadnoughts, which would do well as Star Destroyer Supership types. Any thoughts on what different models from different companies might coordinate well. Later Brian
