What fleets are we seeing in the next expansion? United States, surely, but who else? French? Maybe some of the Scandinavian powers? And how about more White Russian and Chinese designs?

How about this for a teaser?
"Jane's Fighting Ether-Ships of the Great War"...
Any Janes like supplement would be cool.
So we are hitting the First World War with the next book? I wonder if the ABC powers will want revenge on Great Britain and the Soviets could easily be a huge wild card. Sounds fun.

Well, I've ginned up some Greek, Swedish, Peruvian and Danish stats.
If anyones interested...?
Scandinavian fleets would be cool. Danes, Swiss, Norwegians...maybe even the Finns? Not major powers, any of them, but they might want a piece of the K-F Cluster under the Paris Accords, and that means ether ships. OTOH they might be more likely to buy from powers like Germany or the USA rather than building their own.
I wonder if the Swiss might not be players in the space race as well? Being a landlocked country isn't a disadvantage when you're building etherships, and (historically) they've got the economic strength to invest in a building program if they chose to. Again, the primary motivation would probably be economics, but they might also want to secure their local high orbit position to ensure their security. Might build a nice big "neutral port" station to accomplish both, and sell maintainance/resupply services to other lesser powers on the side, eh?

Hmmm....my argument against the Greek Fleet in the other thread was that they couldn't field the BIG units....

That would make sense to me.
I also like the idea of a large neutral port in high orbit.
O'Neill Habitats by 1950!

Oh, I can't see the Scandinavian powers managing capital ships either, but if some or all of them are active in the K-F mining rush (perhaps as a coalition of some sort?), they'd surely buy some destroyer and light cruiser hulls for convoy escort duties, and later build some homebrew designs once the wasserstahl started rolling in.
*Maybe* a small "purchased" battleship or two, if you think they'd buy into the whole "national prestige" silliness, but that seems more of a South American thing to me.
The more I think about the neutral port thing, the more I like it, though.

Canadian made British etherships?
Sub-ether vessels?
Ether depth charges?
small colonial British and German etherships flying moon colony flags?
Say, how far along the timeline is IS going to go?
Will there be a Spanish Civil War expansion? Please stop before we hit WWII!
I don't have that much cash!
Canadian made British etherships?
Don't forget the Avrocar....
Sub-ether vessels?
Hmmm... I can't quite discount this, I'd like something along those lines.
Ether depth charges?
Sure, if you get Aether Subs!
small colonial British and German etherships flying moon colony flags?
The Spanish already have them...

For as long as I can keep people enthused about it, and willing to do the verb-slinging...
:-)

I don't have that much cash!
Do we have a payment plan...Dan?
In small monthly installments....
:-)
It's all Dan's call.
I think I'll hold off on the Swedes, Danish and Peruvians for now...:D
My designs for them have at least one VL hull in each fleet...:D Maybe because I can't design warships for any of the major powers any more, damnit!
Looking at all three, the Swedes have two battleships, but only three cruisers and a destroyer hull. The Peruvians have one battleship, one heavy cruiser (like the Janos Hunyadi is a heavy cruiser ) and three cruisers as well. The Danish...well, one battleship, one heavy cruiser (one of the most unusual designs yet, I might add) and three cruisers and two heavy destroyers (in size similar to the Az-3 class)
All I'll say on the Spanish Civil War is that the tension is there...though the exact when, where, and how it starts is still being bantered about. :twisted:
There's some good stuff ahead...*heheehee* Start savin now.
