First up, some service news; it’s holiday time, so turnaround time on orders may be a little longer for the next couple of weeks. We won’t be stopping completely, but it may take a few extra days to get your order out of the door.<\/p>\n

Onto the good stuff now – we have a few more new spaceships today. The headline act is the new British Valkyrie multi-role fighter, scaled down from the Squadron Commander<\/a> version. As with most of our other fighters, these come in packs of 12.<\/p>\n

Our Indonesian fleet gets some long-overdue reinforcements too, in the shape of three new escort vessels – the Brantas class Destroyer, Ngurah class Frigate and Diponegoro class Corvette.<\/p>\n

We’ve updated our A Billion Suns ship chart<\/a> to include these new ships – this makes it easy for ABS players who are new to our range to select the right vessels for their fleet.<\/p>\n
