Why did I have to see this? My budget was looking so good.

How did I not even know this existed? Funnily enough, after seeing that Rick Priestly was doing Gates of Antares I wondered whatever happened to Andy Chambers. Looks like I found him.

I hope you climb on board. There's still 4 days on the kickstarter.

Do it. Doooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiit....

[The Other Dave]

Get in on this thing!

(And I'm not just saying that because I want the kickstarter to hit the 500,000 pound mark and get a whole mess of free ships, no sir!)

I do rather feel the PHR calling. If I stick to ramen and Sukiya, I must just be able to do it...

48 hours to go! Get in on this thing! (MiJ, PM me if you want to talk about bolt-ons and such!)

New couple videos up about the Shaltari - as expected, they are all about the shenanigans. Some very powerful stuff, with very significant trade-offs, like one of their cruisers has a weapon that can pretty well take out an enemy cruiser in one shot, at the expense of having a very limited fire arc and lighting it up like a christmas tree for counter-fire from all across the board.

I'm (fortunately?) sort of indifferent to the PHR - their light and medium cruisers look cool, and their frigates are awesome, but their heavy cruisers just look kinda eh to me. Which is good - it means I may be able to stick to one fleet in this game for a change, heh.

So there's about 20 hours left, and as it stands, the minimum pledge of 45 quid will start you off pretty good - you'll get the rulebook and, for a fleet of your choice, a total of 4 cruisers and 8 frigates, plus a cruiser and 4 frigates for the other 3 factions to trade or sell or paint up as you see fit. Judging from how the DzC starter boxes work, 4 cruisers and 8 frigates will probably be a very solid small- to mid-size game and will probably hold you down for a good bit!

Well, might have to run it a little tight until payday but they had me at 'broadside'. Ton of extra wee ships won't hurt either PHR ahoy!

Hoist the light sails!

Nice! I'd be happy to pass along my extra PHR ships on the cheap too - I'd rather have more people in the area playing the game than a half-fleet for myself.

BTW guys, do you know how the bolt on thing works? Did I miss the boat on those or are we given the options later? I could never find instructions on them.
