A fair point indeed!

Sorry if I was unclear, I meant a detailed sourcebook and scenario pack to pit the Tsar's Space Fleet against the Meiji Emperor's new orbital squadrons!  Especially in the area near the Tsushima asteroid field  big_smile

All those nice new Japanese starship renders on the MJ12 FB page got my imagination going:
What about a module for the Russo Japanese War in space?

Such a thing might be just the thing to rekindle the IS excitement, and given that the Russian models already exist, it would require a minimal amount of new ships.  It could even be the springboard for the fabled new edition...

Should such a thing be feasible, I'd be happy to offer my services to assist developing such an expansion

Despite my long time passion for VSF gaming and good intentions, I somehow never got around to getting the current edition.

A new edition, which would generate some new player support and other excitement, would be something I could really get onboard with so my fingers are crossed! big_smile

Theoretically, would a new edition generate some new minis even if it was just for one or two nations?

Could somebody please point me in the right direction?

Glad to hear that is the case.  You may have seen the reply I got to this same threat at Brigade Models regarding the minaitures line.

So what are the 'sleeping projects' - which areas are targeted for eventual expansion once some focus returns to IS?

And yes, I quite understand the needs of real life etc-  they curb my time to spend on interests as well - damn it!  :roll:

I've been really tempted by this game for some time, and have been again recently, but I have to ask - is this game stagnant?

I see from some other threads that sales werent really going well, and thus the line of minis dried up.  I also see that there are plans for other IS supplements, but that other things are a greater priority. Quite understandable from a buisness perspective.

But also quite understandble from a consumer perspective is a reluctance to buy into a 'dead' game system.  I know that will seem a harsh judgement, especially if youve been deeply involved with this game system, but from an outsider's perspective thats how it looks.

So gimme some good news here guys!

thanks
Tas

Introducing the new HMS TERIBUS, lead vessel of a new class of single aether-screw low orbit bombardment monitor. Another brilliant Vanvlak creation!
