I have seen a number of requests for specific ship classes as well as scenarios. We all know Harry is a busy guy..something about a silly space game that seems to take is time away from real war games. Anyway with Harry's approval my suggestion is that a sub formum for new ships be created as well as scenarios. We the members can propose ships we would like to see and specific stats we think it should have in the NT world. Harry could opt to share the method he uses to develop the data with us or simply stop buy and say that looks good. In the future these ships could be included in future supplements/expansions and the work would be done. Same could go for Scenarios. We develop scenarios we would like to see (preferably with a set up map and OoB and post. Harry would then be free to include them in future releases. Through a collaborative effort I think we could definately help to expand the fleet lists until Harry has time to make them official and real pretty in the database format. I bring this up as I have seen it work well in the War at Sea forum for producing ships that are not yet available in the official game. The difference here is we have more direct contact with the game designer to gleen his thoughts and possibly help him produce more product for the game we love. Thoughts?

Huzza! I love the whole concept. It would keep the game fresh with an infusion of new units & scenarios, take the pressure off of any one person to innovate, and tap into the collective expertise of the forum members (I don't have any - I just play the game - but you guys do!). Great idea.

I would be interested. However, we might want to develop a ship list first. Then we could divide them up by nations and each person interested could take one of the navies and come up with the stats. ;D

Basically the way it woeks in the other forum is each ship/class gets its own thread. One person takes a swing and then we discuss until we get concensus(or close to it). SInce we are not dealing with special abilities like the other game it will probably be a bit more straight forward.
This is why I suggested a seperate sub forum for the project if Harry agrees.

I'm in.
I think scenarios are easier to create than ships as there is plenty off information readily available about every naval battle fought throughout WW2 however a ship database for ships not yet covered is an excellent idea.
