Eh? Not sure where you got that from. They just decided against it for some reason.

I was being snarky. DSC crams in some less sensible references, whereas this one might have made a bit of sense (though not from the mushroom kingdom point of view. Stamets is a plumber!) and been cool.
Unfortunately, with Eaglemoss, there really isn't anything "typical" - sometimes their customer service is great, other times it's terrible. That said, them taking a week or so to ship isn't uncommon, I'd give it until the end of the week.
Aww, why the hell didn't they do that?! Thats awesome!
Btw, which designing ships book was it?
In the UK I've found you hear absolutely nothing between ordering and it arriving at your door. They didn't seem to have any order tracking.
Doesn't DPD have tracking?
Just guessing here, but since the Discovery version of the Designing Starships books hasn‘t come out yet it‘s more likely @Tuskin38 actually read that in the Art of John Eaves book, where the design history of the Charon is discussed and the planet killer backstory is recounted.
The last time I ordered something (one of the books) I believe it just came Royal Mail.
Ah ok. Must just be for international delivery then.
That would have been nice.
I like that as the Kobyashi Maru.
I also like the idea of more than one set of nacelle supports.
My idea of a secondary hull would be something like a Mon Calimari ship with a huge dish antenna farm, with structures sprouting nacelle supports that rise to joins two huge nacelles that terminate in spire antenna trailing off at different lengths.
Ah that's it. My bad.
The upcoming STO line troubles me. With the myriad combinations of components a player can use to customize a ship, there could be upwards of several thousand models. Not sure if they have given any specifics on their plans for this, but I really hope it’s highly restricted to the baseline class designs, rather than every little sub-variant of a greater class. And even some of the baseline ships are a bit fugly (IMO), so I hope they’re not taking the kitchen sink route with this one. Being thorough for on-screen ships was good enough. They started getting a little silly with some of the obscure concept designs, but tons of STO’s? Mmmm.. don’t know about that one.
I think it's obvious it will just be the base template for each class, like the Ent-F was.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the stuff released in the last 5 years or so.
I don't foresee a huge problem - a lot of the customisation options in STO are fucking ugly. I suspect they'll look at the ones that are the most popular.
Exeter-Class FTW by the way.
the other ship of note (looking slightly less notable in high resolution) from that hero collector news:
Why does it have a USB port?
