Most interesting to me is the existence of map packs, 12 GBP for 4 full-sized double-sided maps. The maps in the DZC box sets, while pretty, are smaller than 4x4 and thus not great for full-sized games, and the 1x1 card tiles from the scenery packs they put out, while also pretty, tend to slide around a lot in play, so this seems a nice, affordable idea. Also the fact that, in addition to the starter boxes with a mix of cruisers and frigates, they'll have boxes of just cruisers and just frigates for more-targeted fleet expansion is nice.
I've also, sadly for me, recalled a paint scheme which may just force me to collect PHR, heh.
(That's a Taiidan ship from the excellent game Homeworld, for those who don't know it. A simple but striking scheme in the vein of Chris Foss, with different patterns of stripes on different ships.)
Yellow I've learned how to do from my Epic Eldar, and I can probably manage red stripes without driving myself
completely insane. So, yeah.
), and sending everything by courier so no more then 3 to 7 days for RoW delivery from ship date. They're promising more updates as packing and shipping progresses.
