Pity for those who loved the line. Harsh decision as well. They could sell it again.....

I have been following this fairly closely.

Cold Navy was sold to Damage Control, who have been sitting on it. They have recently announced that they will not be releasing the line, and instead have their own starships which are starting to emerge... and which are terrible! (See pic!)

This has been met with... appropriate distain ( ??? ) by the community. As such, there is a good chance that the rights will again be sold on. A number of people have declared an interest in the line. The issue is that the 'masters' are CAD designs (as far as I am aware) rather than the traditional greens, which limits the selection of potential buyers with the technology to run the line.

Hi guys - do we know what happened to Cold Navy in the end?
I certainly havent seen their minis pop at at Brigade anyway...

There was a thread on this over at TMP recently but to summarize Damage Control Games bought the Cold navy IP and said they would be rereleasing the models once they got their shop up and running.

Now DCG has said that the CN stuff doesn't fit they're background and have decided to sit on the line.  They previewed their new DCG stuff recently as well and the overall reaction I saw from most people, including myself, was that their ships are crap.

It seems they pissed quite a few people off by promising CN and never delivering.  So in summary, no CN for awhile unless they sell the line to someone else or enough people complain.  The good news is the Jeff Valiant studios has the molds so it's not like the line can be sold again.

Sorry I can't find the link for all this right now, it was either a TMP news announcement or on a thread over there.

There was both a news announcement and a couple discussion threads.  I'm very irate about this as I had bought two Mauridian frigates and really liked them.  Unfortunately they announced that they were selling the line before I could buy more and everyone was sold out.  I was really hoping I'd be able to pick more.  DCG has not made any friends with thier actions.

I actually pre-ordered the Mauridian ships, they really were great models.  When wave 1.5 came out as they switched casters Mike, the former owner, actually offered a 40% discount on the recasts for all those who had ordered wave 1.  His means of doing business were phenomenally better than DCG's thus far.

As to the current circumstances, I can't really see their line selling very well after they alienated a part of the starship gaming community like they did with their decision.  They kind of shot themselves in the foot... twice.

Here's to hoping they sell it, I remember a couple of the wave 2 CAD models that were planned.  As much as I liked the first wave the second had some awesome ships in it.  If those see the light of day I'm sure many people will be happy.

Dissappointing indeed. ?If anyone wants to dump their old CN minis as a conseqeence...you know where you can find me!

Heres hoping some sense will prevail in the end.

Thanks for the news and updates guys
