      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I’m looking for my next ship project and thought that I might work on a ship that would encourage people to get a Battlestations ship on the water. So the question is… which one? There are a couple of key properties I think the ship needs:<br />
1) Relatively easy to transport. This eliminates WWII battleships and the bigger cruisers. Actually, if size isn’t a concern, I have Baltimore and Takao kits in 1/96 already if anyone is interested.<br />
 <br />
2) Relatively inexpensive. This one is harder, but it...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I started a new thread to avoid hijacking the thread on allowed dates.  In short, I offered to modify the Treaty ship for 1/96 scale, speeds (when decided), and eliminate the hypotheticals that Battlestations doesn&#039;t allow.  I realize no ship list can be all inclusive, but I thought a reference of  ~ 700 ships was a good start.  Below is a list of the hypotheticals currently in the list.  Some I know were built, but not finished within the allowable dates, others are there because they were...<br />

The main reason for this is the fact that I prefer the battlestations format over the fast gun format but the only options are to build from scratch or get a lazer cut wood kit. Most guys seem to prefer the ease of contruction of starting with a glass hull. If some were avail I think it would help put more captains to sea. I am getting...<br />

4. Captains wishing to arm torpedoes aboard their ship must arm at least half (rounding up) of their main gun turrets. (i.e. if your ship has 5 primary turrets, you&#039;d need to arm at least 3 of them to get torpedoes).<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;ve come to the conclusion that I don&#039;t understand armor placement at all.  Are you supposed to sheet the whole hull in the correct thickness of balsa &quot;armor&quot;, or are you supposed to put it in historically accurate places?  Also, do you sheet the armor on to 1/32 balsa, or directly on to the hull?<br />
