I'm trying to design some small solar sail-powered starships for use in space combat games. A couple of sample designs attached, about 3.5cm long. Design on left : Light Transport Design on right : Prow Laser Cannon Frigate Comments and suggestions welcome.

Darn it sir, you know that I'm interested in these. They will go nicely with a set of rules that I wrote. I'll discuss the rules the next time we meet up, but I'd be looking for more of a sail, (can be barbed) as my game boats are moved by wind & only held up by poor quality AG units. A portion of my game revolves around boardings as well so I envisage the craft to be outfitted to accommodate/defend against boarding actions. We'll talk. Oh, and they are long enough in my books. |

Yes, I think they look fantastic. Perhaps a sprue with multiple barbs and spikes to customize these space faring ships. Maybe a rudder? I don't know but it might look cool. Not that you need a rudder in space, but who says science fiction has to be practical? |

Interesting. I don't like the sails. How about something similar to a Junk? |

I think I could do that, I could cast some addon bits attached to the base stem, without having to use extra mould space. Maybe some guns too, so people can make an armed freighter without need for an extra model. Quote: Maybe a rudder? I don't know but it might look cool. Not that you need a rudder in space, but who says science fiction has to be practical? Already has a rudder, as per attached picture. :-) (base removed so that the underside can be seen properly)

Very interesting, i don't suppose they would accomodate 6mm people would they? |

Yeah, I guess they could have a few up on there if you wanted to use them in micro-armour scale wargaming. |

Nice work  They look like they could be converted or put together (I'm not sure if it's a separate piece or not) with the spokes on the sail going backwards should people so desire. |

The sails are a separate component, yah. |

Excellent start. And it looks as though there is already plenty of interest, myself included. |

Very nice indeed. In my mind the sails seem to be back to front, but it's nice work! |
