Hopefully this map will help!  This is something that has been discussed in the community various times over the years, and I just recently stumbled into making one.

Feel free to add your location with your username (real name if you want, probably shouldn’t be an exact address of course).  I think you should also be able to add a description w…[Read more]

Once per turn when this ship hits an enemy ship, also eliminate one crew from that ship.

The ability shown above is  3 Points

But it’s not.  It’s 2 points.

1: Is there a comprehensive (or moderately so) guide to the creation of custom ships/crew/etc. point wise?

No.  The first tab of the Customs Database has a bit of what I often price certain abilities at.

2: Is the custom thread a good place to post new ship type ides for review by experienced players?

Definitely.  The best place!  😀

 I’d love this one to be more active

Same here!

… though it’s hard to provide feedback when the information given out is incorrect.  Check the cannons.  I like both ships a lot but I like the Soleil Royal better.

Near-complete set of MI.  Just not seeing the LE’s and the actual MiaB pack.

I have started a new Category called Miniature Trading Forum Threads where my plan right now is to post one old thread per day from what I have saved.  Each actual post (that is the first one) will be full width with no sidebar, so it will make the text as large as possible and almost look like you’re scrolling through MT.

I know I’ve already s…[Read more]

Holofernes and Woelf both said they have not seen this before… which means to me that it’s a true mystery.  Anyone know what it’s from?  Maybe that “Terror Trials” was a tournament at a con?

I know at least @Ben kinda hates MI but I love it.

Just like with the factions, I “like” all the sets at this point.  Feelings of frustration have severely dimmed over time.  🙂   MI to me has drab artwork in a lot of cases (at least for the ships), mediocre ships, and not a ton to get excited about.

The early sets appear to be based off rea…

Not to be bothersome, but are there additional “keywords” some people use for longer abilities that aren’t on the list.

I agree with that in general, but not with your specific examples.  I can explain.  🙂

HI Raiders could probably just have the keyword “Raider”, for example.

This makes me think of any ability that steals gold.  I know that Fi…[Read more]

I Don’t know how much this ability is but I’d say that it’s about 10 points;
Once per turn, One ship within S of this ship cannot use it’s abilities this turn.
This ship gains that ship’s abilities for this turn.

That sounds quite powerful.  Are the opposing ship’s abilities cancelled for the user’s turn only, or for the whole round that would…[Read more]

How the heck are you supposed to make use of the Fear keyword?

Moved your post here since it’s appropriate.

It’s not a good ability, but it can be better while submerged.  In that case it could be combined with other abilities that work while submerged, such as cancelling or Marines.  Other than that, make sure to always remember to roll for it w…[Read more]

@Ochobrazo2298: I’m not a big fan of the Limit keyword (especially as a way to “curb” customs when it’s not that much of a restriction), and I’m trying to limit my use of it as much as possible. 🙂

Some fixes to consider:
Make it function more like a normal tow-capture, just slightly more efficient. Make it so the opposing ship has to be derelict…

It was a straight up fight to the death, I think Woelf’s fleet won the challenge.

Woelf and I were co-winners; I hosted the challenge afterwards because Woelf had hosted the RtSS challenge before lord_denton’s challenge.  I think “canon” is the word you’re looking for.

I based a lot of my continued lore on fleet challenges or miniature reviews th…

Given the age of this game, I’d like to think that at least purposeful cheating at it is a non-issue at this point. Maybe not?

Definitely not!  XD

I was asking for CG4.  I double checked a couple of the new 10 master setups to make sure they’re fine, but I might just reveal at least one of them in the next battle report anyway, partly for kic…[Read more]

If the UT is one that must be revealed when loaded, it would be flipped back up as soon as it was placed on the new ship.

In that case it wouldn’t take up cargo space once it was face up… so technically you can use Barrel o’ Monkeys to your advantage where the transferred coin does not ever take up cargo space, correct?  (Ex: If a ship had a…[Read more]
