In Steve Jackson terms:
Class 8 (wide, 4 midsections): 0
Class 7 (wide, 3 midsections): 3
Class 6 (wide, 2 midsections): 4
Class 5 (narrow, 3 midsections): 0
Class 4 (wide, 1 midsections): 1
Class 4 (narrow, 2 midsections): 2
Class 3 (narrow, 1 midsection): 8
Class 2 (narrow, 0 midsection): 6
Class 2 (Brig, 10 wide custom): 3
Class 1 (Cutter 6 wide custom): 9
36 ships, 108 class sizes. Oh, and a Miata to transport them in...on the
left coast, no less. :-)
About the only ship I'll add at this point is a SES, which is the only major
pirate set I don't have (just added the El Dorado Fortress). Maybe another
BSB. I suppose I could make a Class 8 - I have a couple of wide midsections
to spare. I should make a Class 5 one of these days, also, but I'm not sure
of what extra middies I have in narrow.
90 blue coats. 70 red coats. I'll eventually get them both to 100. Other
than the slowly expanding soldiers, the fleet has been pretty stable for a
long time. If I want to make elaborate and large custom ships for display
rather than play, I have plenty of raw material.
