What were your impressions of the movement rules? Didn't really see much of then in the videos so far.

I think that was light cruisers specifically. Really looking forward to getting my hands on Dropfleet, can't wait to get stuck in and properly plan my fleets...

wdarkk posted:I'm a little worried that Dave mentioned he hadn't finished writing some stuff for the rulebook, which means that it hasn't even started printing that yet. If Dropfleet hasn't loving arrived by the Nova Open, that Dropfleet tournament they scheduled is gonna be interesting. Maybe they'll use the resin stuff from the demo games? Judging by the other stuff mentioned (especially the comment that they hadn't finished the space station sprue yet, I'm pretty sure that was filmed in late June-ish (the tool for the station was shown on 4th July). So I wouldn't worry too much!

My stuff (Captain pledge with quite a few add ons) is arriving Monday! I may have already bought and built UCM and PHR starter fleets as well...

So, I've written up a scenario for using the Princess liner. Partly inspired by that bit in BSG when the Galactica jumps into the atmosphere, crossed with the idea of Armed Merchant Cruisers. Basically it's a one shot insertion of a reasonably sized force by the attacking player, balanced with an occupied station for the defender. Write up is here: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AroX04pj9s2OiE-yGNAvp-3w9Nm5 Thoughts/ comments etc?

My various fleets are coming together, with my usual incredibly slow rate of painting. Anyone seen any decent looking but fairly uncomplicated PHR schemes? Still a bit undecided on how to do mine. Sojenus posted:
Try shaving down the more obvious bits with a knife, then sand paper to finish. You can pretty much tell the order I made my PHR in by looking at how obvious the sprue connectors are... Frobbe posted:) And because of this, i sought out the facebook group for dropfleet commander. Holy poo poo the anger issues amongst the kickstarter backers! it's so bad they made a seperate group just for those people and it's not even enough to contain their rage. It's absolutely ludicrous. I can understand the frustration at not getting stuff yet, but the vitriol, conspiracy theories and hyperbole are ridiculous.

And talking of the Scourge... I like it!

I'm also pretty sure it's 8 people in the company total, not 8 people doing dispatch.

Southern Heel posted:OK told her to pick up Dropfleet - we both liked the idea of Man O War and BFG so I figure it's a good shot. Is there anything we need to know meta-wise about the 2 player starter set? (i.e. in the 40k 2nd Edition set: don't be the orks if you want to win) Build the suggested load outs. Each fleet has one (there are sheets in the starter box) and they're balanced against each other.

New website with Dropfleet on is finally up at http://www.hawkwargames.com/. There's also going to be a limited run direct only model for Dropfleet, the UCM Saratoga class Light Cruiser (alternative sculpt for the New Cairo). Looks pretty cool from the teaser image, will probably pick one up as a leader for my New Cairo squadron. Plus, should be news on wave 2 of KS rewards 'soon'...

Ugleb posted:Either they are calculating by a different metric or Hawk didn't realise how much they still had outstanding. Both seem plausible. Given that I just received a second set of ground tokens (only pledged for one- first set arrived last august-ish) I suspect hawk weren't entirely sure what was going on with shipping!
