I would also still appreciate some danger.



Did Lieutenant go out already?

E: Huh, ok cool! Maybe I was in the no notification wave.

A decent number have, no real way of knowing how many are left to go out, but there are some people reporting that they still have not gotten them yet.

I would not be too worried yet, plenty of people have not gotten stuff even from the groups that seem to have had more of their stuff shipped. There is a local lieutenant that has not gotten anything either. I myself am waiting on 2 commodore pledges, one of which has zero add-ons.

Eh, I'm probably just stressing because it's one more detail I have to be concerned about as I start to pack up my apartment. Also just had some rear end in a top hat rent scammer try to lead me on, wasting my time...

If you're worried because you're moving shoot them an email with a big URGENT or something in the subject. They still seems to respond to actually important stuff even with everyone slaving away in the warehouses.

Not only is it in, but each faction gets a small section in their technology page discussing what they use for nukes. Except the PHR, who get speculation on what they might do with nukes.

Neat, can't wait to see!

So my Admiral order is incoming. 35 pounds. POUNDS. 35 of them. I may have gone a little insane. Though it is helped that one of my friends is grabbing all of the PHR.

Nice. Still no word on my Commander order, but I figured when I made additional orders via the pledge manager it might mess things up a bit.

I'm a lurker no more


I was backer #8 and decided to cancel my pledge for some reason, only to decide to back it again later and am now at backer #4456, which puts me 500 places past the total number of backers. With that in mind, I'm not getting my hopes up before 2018. That'll teach me to be indecisive.

For bonus nerd watching points, today facebook offers up this guy:

So im kinda pissed right now! Well guys retailers have DFC earlier than backers and of course starter actually comes in proper boxes. So why the hell bother to back Hawks KS?


Another wonderful example of people understanding what kickstarter is actually intended to be used for.

Traded my friend Kickstarter UCM for more PHR, 12 Frigates, 5 Cruisers and the KS Battlecruiser :getin:

For the frigates I'm thinking:

8x Europa
2x Medea
2x Calypso

And for cruisers:

3x Orion
1x Orpheus
1x Bellerophon

Then the battlecruiser is the Leonidas.

That guys UCM is helping me decide which of my cruiser panels to do my light grey in. Quite fancy it on the BTL mounts, I wasn't sure if it would look too busy or not.

The guys kicking off about the lack of a retail box blows my mind, like who loving cares?

I was going to go with a mostly grey UCM... this guy has me rethinking and now I'm thinking something along the lines of a Blue Sub 6 Scheme:



I also have no idea why people care so much about the box... its like somehow all the freebies are not worth it if we don't have a box with cool pictures...

I actually wish I was getting a box so I could list it on ebay for £10 plus postage starting bid. I have the feeling someone would actually buy it. I might even get bidders if I start it at £5!

If not, we get to watch facebook raging about it.

I've been doing some conversions with my starter box: A Light Cruiser with a shortened "neck" and a San Francisco without the lower hull. Gonna do the third cruiser in the box as another light and then it's back to waiting for my pledge.

While I am pretty hyped about getting my pile of stuff, I am ok waiting a bit because I know I won't have time to paint anytime soon. Also my friend and I were splitting two orders and the little one got here first, so I have plenty of frigates to assemble in the mean time.

What are people making out of the 2 player starter?
I can't decide on good "starter" fleet to show case the game. So much i want to make but unsure

I'm waiting on my second 2 player set and 2 shaltari starters to really dig deeper here. That's going to raise a lot more questions on what to make with those as well

I think the suggested fleets (the ones on the box) are supposed to be fairly well balanced.

What Pash said the two starter fleets are good choices but I'm a bit shakey on how good I think the Berlin and Ifrit are for expanding into full sized navies.

Do we know if Hawk is planning a FFoR style app for Dropfleet? Because that would be awesome. I vaguely recall rumors of an iPhone app, but I assume that's been held up by dropfleet trouble?

The rules app is stuck in development hell with a subcontractor from what Dave has said in the past. As Hawk are not making it in house, Dropfleet shouldn't be an issue unless they have been adding features I guess.

Important distinction though, it is not really meant to be an army builder like FFoR. Unless that plan changed at some point. FFoR is a community built tool and Hawk like that being a thing and didn't want to compete with it, which is fine so long as it is supported I guess.

Hawk really needs to get better at picking subcontractors I guess. (Insert your own British industry joke here.)

My preorder of a PHR starter fleet has arrived (before my kickstarter of course) which is kind of a problem because I wanted to paint those last.
