- A new contest to decide the race of a
new fleet of miniatures from GZG:
Recently we previewed
a NEW fleet of Full Thrust Starships which
as yet has no name, nation or race
attached to them! Basically, I had the
idea for the ship designs and wanted to do
a couple, but had not decided who they
should "belong" to in the
GZG-verse.
So,
as I still haven't made up my mind on it,
I thought we'd run a little impromptu
contest for it!
What we'd like you to
do is to send us your ideas for the name
and background of the new fleet (pictured
to the right); while it needs to fit
somewhere into the GZG-verse background
(as used in FT, DS and SG), it doesn't
have to be a nation or power that we've
already mentioned in canon; you can do any
of the following:
1) A nation that
exists in the GZG-verse canon which
doesn't already have it's own fleet,
examples being (but not limited to) the
Dutch, the Indonesians, the PAU, the LLAR
etc..... If you're going this route, what
we would be looking for is some background
fluff on ship and fleet design philosophy
that fits both the style of the minis and
the position of the nation/power in the
'verse.
2) A NEW human nation
or power of your own devising, set within
the GZG-verse but not already mentioned in
canon - for example, a breakaway group of
outer colonies - in this case, we'd like
some background as to how and why they
turn up with a fleet of rather
high-tech-looking ships....
3) A new ALIEN race
that fits the look and feel of the ships -
if you go this way, some background
material on their fleet design and
technology would be helpful, though you
don't have to go into a full set of
separate rules for them at this stage
unless you want to of course!
So, it's a pretty open
brief - feel free to send us anything from
a couple of hastily scribbled paragraphs
to a whole sourcebook!
If we feel that an
idea is right for the new fleet, then
you'll get the credit for coming up with
it, PLUS a FREE fleet of the ships as they
are released (this may come in several
batches as we produce the various
classes).
We reserve the right
to make use of any and all entries in
whole or part as we see fit, and to edit,
alter or amend any chosen winning entry as
necessary; if we end up using partial
ideas from several entries we'll try to
ensure that all those contributing to the
finished product will get a selection of
free minis in some sort of proportion to
the stuff we use.
All entries should be
submitted directly to me by email, to jon@gzg.com,
preferably as attached Word files or PDFs.
Please put "GZG Mystery Fleet
Contest" in the subject heading of
your email. There is no set closing date -
we'll keep it open until either we get an
entry that we really like, or we come up
with something ourselves!
So get thinking....
Best,
Jon (GZG)

- SSDs for the Full Thrust
miniatures released since Fleet Book 2
plus links to the beta-test fleets and

Thrust Fleet Resource page.

- A couple new announcements from GZG:
FULL THRUST LIGHT!
We are pleased to
announce that, in between doing new
starships and stuff, we've at last managed
to get put together something that we've
been intending to do for ages - an
all-new, all "OFFICIAL"
self-contained intro to the FULL THRUST
rules, which we're giving away FREE in
both pdf and printed versions! FULL THRUST
LIGHT is just two A4 pages of rules, plus
2 ready-prepared record sheets of
(different) generic ship designs ideal for
use with our FT INTRO PACK 2-fleet
deals.
FT LIGHT is basically
the simplest core rules of the game
brought up to the current standard (what
we've been calling "FT2.5");
there are a couple of little tweaks that
veteran players will spot, but no major
changes. It has been written as an ideal
introduction to the system for new
players, and we hope it will be especially
useful for getting younger players into
the game. The pdf version is already up on
the "downloads" page of the
store site (www.gzg.com),
and is completely free of charge, so rush
over there now and get a copy! We're also
having a load of sets printed up as
hardcopies, to give away at shows and with
mailorders for FT ships - we'll have them
at Salute this weekend (April 19th), free
for the asking to anyone who buys any FT
ships from us.
---------------
New FULL THRUST
STARSHIP range releases for SALUTE this
weekend.....
A mixed bag of FT
starship new releases for the show on the
19th - three new PHALON ships and three
new MERCHANTS!
For the Phalon fleet,
we have a new ATTACK CRUISER - a
Battlecruiser-sized strike ship - and two
Transports or Fleet Auxiliaries, all
sculpted by Dave Garnham (who did the
original Phalon vessels for us many years
ago). The transports can be used as
tankers, supply ships or even assault
carriers - the spheroids
"budding" off the hulls could
easily be ablative-shielded drop
pods, Hu'Man intelligence is not quite
sure yet.....
FT815
Gruuss Class Attack Cruiser £4.00
FT816
Viiyaan Class Medium Podship
(transport/auxiliary) £4.00
FT817 Tuuyaan Class
Small Podship (transport/auxiliary) £3.00

Then
we have three new Merchants/Civilian
ships; the two smaller ones will be
familiar to those of you who attended the
GZG-ECC, as we provided a supply of them
as freebies for the attendees - now they
are on general sale so you can all add
them to your Merchant Convoys, Refugee
Fleets or whatever!
The big all-new
release, just moulded this week, is a huge
REFINERY SHIP - even bigger than most of
the FT Superdreadnoughts! A
simple-to-assemble 10-piece all metal kit,
this impressive beast just calls out to be
the centrepiece of many scenarios!

Ravager raiding fleets; most of these have
hangar space and rudimentary support

the pirates' makeshift fighters and
assault skiffs, most commonly used for
taking on poorly-armed merchant shipping
or attacking undefended colonial
settlements."

from Jon (GZG)....
Just master-moulded
today, we'll be making production moulds
straight after this Bank Holiday weekend,
so it'll be available for sale after
Tuesday 29th, price 12.00 GBP.
The pics in white are
of the original master sculpt prior to
casting, showing the 5 parts that the mini
is made up from; the grey-primered one is
a first off metal casting from the master
mould with a quick spray coat!
If anyone is placing an
order with us this weekend (remember that
the 3 introductory pack deals on NSL ships
end on Thursday 31st, see our news post
from last week) and wants to add one (or
several!) of the new FSE SDN as a
pre-order, just ask for them in the
"comments" field at the online
checkout and we'll add them to the order.
Watch for the rest of
the new-style FSE fleet over the coming
weeks.
Happy Thrusting (oo-er...)
and don't forget the painting contest
we're running for the new-style NSL ships!
5/22/2007

packs will be removed from the webstore at

of all these at the show, plenty of the

number of the new 15mm vehicles, so if
you're coming along then come and see us
as early as you can!

teaser pictures of the new NSL miniatures
in the works, the new SDN, CH, CE,
Corvette and Scoutship. Click on the
thumbnails for larger versions.
These are the first
castings out of the master mould, quickly
assembled and primer coated. Production
moulds will be done over the next few
days, then they'll be available!
For scale/size
reference, the cutting mat on which the
pics were taken is a centimetre grid.

- From GZG:
After fifteen years
continuously in print, our last stock of
printed Full Thrust rulebooks is finally
exhausted. As the book (along with the
Fleet Book supplements) has already been
available as a FREE pdf download for some
while now we won't be printing any more
copies of the 2nd Edition. So, as well as
deleting the hardcopy book itself from our
store, we've also had to remove the old FT
Pak 1 starter deal, which included a copy
of the rules along with two small starter
fleets. To replace this, we're now
offering a NEW basic FT intro pack deal,
to get you started with a couple of small
forces - plenty for some quick games to
get the feel of the rules. Simply order
your intro pack, download the FREE rules
and get blasting your opponent!

miniature ships:
ADD SOME SPACE PIRATES
TO YOUR COLLECTION - PERFECT FOR FULL
THRUST OR ANY OTHER GOOD STARSHIP COMBAT
GAME!
In addition to our
major November release of new NAC ships,
we're very pleased to announce yet MORE
new FT starships - this time of a rather
different force.....
The Ravagers - Rim
Pirates!
Savage bands of
marauding outcasts operating from
barely-habitable planets outside even
far-flung limited settlements of the
Outrim Worlds. Run by a confusing and
ever-fighting selection of feudal
warlords, they exhibit no kind of
government structure beyond who has the
biggest gun at the time. With barely-spaceworthy
ships cobbled together from old hulls
refitted with scavenged weapons and
drives, the Ravagers are the scourge of
small outrim settlements and unescorted
merchant shipping...
Pirate Cruiser: the
size of a typical naval Heavy Cruiser, the
Pirate Cruiser is usually the command ship
of a raiding force. The Cruiser class
generally has a moderate armament suite,
plus considerable spare cargo space for
loot and captives, and is equipped with
powerful (if not terribly reliable) drives
in order to catch targets and evade
defenders.
Pirate Raider:
typically the size of a small Destroyer,
the Raider class of Pirate ship is most
frequently used on solo missions to pick
off isolated civilian shipping or attack
small planetary settlements, but is also
encountered in groups (often accompanied
by a Cruiser or two) for dealing with
larger and better-defended targets.
Pirate Attacker:
a small, fast attack ship the size of a
military strikeboat, normally used to
"swarm" a target and disable it,
or to take on escorting ships. Attackers
almost always work in conjunction with
Raiders and Cruisers, as the tiny Attacker
boats don't have much spare space for
hauling away their ill-gotten gains.

Rim
Pirate forces don't plan on taking on
naval units except small convoy escort
craft if they can help it, so they
generally don't have particularly heavy
armament suites, but they do carry specialized
weaponry designed to
incapacitate ships and/or their crews
without actually destroying them. Needle
Beams (to pick off individual systems on a
target ship) and EMP weapons (to cause
system failures without damaging the hull
or cargo) are both common on Pirate
vessels, along with a selection of more
conventional beam and missile weapons for
when a stand-up fight is inevitable.
It is not known for
certain where the Rim Pirate Warlords
acquire their ships from, but the fact
that many of the ships encountered bear
strong resemblance to each other (albeit
with many minor differences in fitting-out
and details) tends to suggest that there
is at least one shipyard facility still
operating somewhere on the Rim which is
producing basic hulls to simple, outdated
designs and selling them to the warlords,
who then fit them out with whatever they
have available in the way of scavenged and
captured weapons, drives and systems. Many
of these systems, especially drives and
power cores, often appear to be
dangerously unstable - but as drive room
crews are mostly slaves and pressganged
captives, this seems of little concern to
the Warlords - and there is always another
ship and crew to replace those that blow
up!

Out of interest, I
think these are probably the fastest
concept-to-production minis we've ever
done - I decided I wanted to do them on
Sunday morning, sculpted them during the
day, made the master mould first thing
Monday morning, took the piccies from the
first-off master castings, then made the
production mould that afternoon and had
saleable castings half an hour later...
less than 36 hours from idea to
production!
