Two: Anyone have a pic for what the Fed BC looked like BEFORE the Excelsior class was shown on screen?
Finally three: ok this isnt a model question, but does ADB still make the core rules for SFB? Or am I going to be resigned to searching evil places like eBay? (Thier latest commercial...:gag: I hated that song BEFORE they butchered it)

Desty_Nova is doing an entire SFB/TOS fleet. Some of the Feds are done, but aren't posted yet. Here's a link to some pics. The 3rd row down/2 middle pics are of the f-bch.

...and a link to where you can get some of the completed models. (No Feds yet, though
) http://www.nightsoftware.com/starforce/SFC/
Some of the models that are up aren't finished yet. (brk.mods and HPs) If you like SFB/TOS ships though, check them out. Also, check the modeling forum regularly (constantly
) there's a lot of TOS going on right now.If you're talking about the rulebook, originally published by TFG, that had Basic, Advanced Missions, C1, and C2, I don't believe that's still being printed. All the rulebooks, modules, etc. are available. You can look here to see what is in print and order as well, if you'd like.

2. Jeez, youd almost think that Paramount stole the Excelsior from ADB and "modernized it". No Im really not into to TOS, i just felt that the F-CA, F-CC, F-CAR, F-CAD, F-CADR, F-DD, F-FF, F-DN, and maybe the F-DN+ deserved to have the TOS models attached to them instead of the newer TMP models.
Looking at the Pic for The USS Kongo NCC-1710 gives me a thought though. Would it be possible to (for sfc4) use an intelligent model that say if the ship name was 1710 Kongo, the hull would say NCC-1710 and the ship information would maybe just say USS Kongo. Then say the next ship you take on is the 1703 Lexington, so the hull now says NCC-1703 and the ship information says USS Lexington. Granted that code is really only useful for fighting the Feds, or flying the feds. But maybe something similar can be done with the Klingons, they do have hull markings on their ships, we just cant read them cause either they a) are never shown, or b) we cant read Klingonese. Detail was never really gotten into when it came to Romulan ships even in the Dominion war it was just the same stock model over and over again.
