Nothing is quite as persuasive as a disruptor pistol on slow burn and a rotisserie......

Hope you enjoy the G1s.

Regarding shuttles, and "ammo" (drones, plasma torpedoes) - they could be done, but ADB already sells them in metal so it might be quite a while before they work their way up the priority list. a flood of inquiries about them to ADB could change that priority.

Is anyone working on Romulan gunboats?

I'd really love to see both Romulan gunboats and Orion gunboats. Honestly, once I can get that set, I'll probably break down and get a set of Fed, Klingon, Romulan, and Orion gunboats.

I can't talk specifics, but gunboats for all empires are already promised publicly, so, yes.

The objective is to have gunboats and fighters for every empire. It may not all happen this year, but if you assume two or three of these attrition units show up every month, we'll get them all by next summer and many of them by this winter.

Feds have the gunboat and the fighters are scheduled for 1 Oct.
Klingon have the gunboat and the fighters are scheduled for 1 Oct.
Romulans need both and I'm told Lawson has the gunboat started.
Kzintis need both and the fighters are scheduled for 1 Oct.
Tholians have both at this point.
Hydrans have their fighters and their gunboats are scheduled for 1 Sept.
Lyran/LDR gunboat is under design for 1 Sept and they use Klingon fighters.
WYN gunboat is in development and they steal fighters anywhere.
Seltorians have their gunboats and will use Klingon fighters in September.
Gorns, Orions, Vudar, ISC, Andros, and others we will start on next year.

Shuttles exist in metal but we plan to do them. Drones and plasmas are hard to do on Shapeways but we'll think about it later. Skiffs and defsats and MRS and SWAC are all on the plan but maybe not this year.

Thanks for the update!

Will both Romulan gunboats be done, or just one? Centurion or Starhawk?

Centurian is underway by Matthew Lawson, as I type this.

I'm hoping to make the StaHawk and evening's fun diversion, once I have the B-10 under control for September.

These are already available in metal.

Yeah I like you making the StarHawk, Will, to me the line art looks like it's so much bigger than the G1 and you got the scaling down!

Only three days to the next big release. These are rumors heard around the sculptor break room coffee table.

Feds will get a survey ship

Seltorians are getting a new cruiser.

Two new civilian units will appear.

The Hydrans will get two frigates, a dreadnought, and gunboats.

Klingons will get the B10B and boom.

Maesrons are getting a cruiser and all of their ships go 3125.

The Tholians will get several fighter-carriers with external bays.

Romulans get a powerful new ship and gunboats.

We'll upload stands and stand toppers for those who want them.

The Lyrans will get three dreadnoughts and gunboats.

The WYNs will get a new girlfriend that starts with "N" and some gunboats.

Trobin and Koligahr will get a new ships and another empire will arrive.

Orions are still not in sight but Orion fungoats have raided the tower.

I almost forget, there is a new monster.

Just make sure you throw that small dog a cheese sandwich much earlier and you'll be fine.
