Any closer to this ever being released? I just bought the Omega playtest pack and I gotta say I love this setting. I realize a print version might not be feasible but a PDF might.Nerroth wrote:In light of the discussion over in the Early Years thread, I figured I might as well try and draw up a list of 40 ships which, with things in SFB currently as they are, could go into a first Omega module.
(I say "could", but of course there is a fair distance between doing up a list and seeing if it would be worth producing.)

That would give all five fleets a broad array of ships from their current range in SFB; and offer a scout (either frigate- or destroyer-sized) for each to get by with.
The civilian ships (from CL20) are different enough from Alpha Octant types to be worth showing; and should make convoy raids a challenge for a rival (or Andromedan) attacker to try and work over. I don't know if they could be combined onto the same Ship Card or not; so I listed them separately just in case.
(I would have liked to add the Man-O-War for the Iridani; but, as a battleship, it would need a double-sized card. Not that I would complain were one to be added, mind you.)
For the main+booster divide, I've marked the various ships appropriately; with "M" for the main module, and "B1", "B2" and "B3" for various boosters (one for the FRA and Maesrons, a second for the Trobrin and Probr, and a third for the closest thing we have to Omega "cops and robbers" at present).
