Yeah, RC. That was my original intention. However with the prodding of Sigoroth and others I began to include 'new' ships into the Dark Eldar, Necrons, and even Tau lists. The IN/Chaos don't need new ships, however it is somewhat unfair to not include them. However it works out fine so long as the new ships are contained to their own seperate listing.
It also allows for us to include ships that the HA could otherwise not include, as the HA are limited in that they can only include vessels that can be built with only super glue from GW models.
With this scope, I'm permitting reasonable converted vessels (I.e. someone with little conversion skill... like most players, could build them) Which is the reason that the Vanquisher doesn't have launch bays standard (as I'm still having trouble coming up with a way a person would do it...)
Flawed ships is unnoficial, and like Valhallan said, it doesn't change much to simply include them. Most ships... well actually all are derived from already semi-official sources. It's just a lot easier in the long run to incorporate these things now, rather than later, and besides, then we have the perfect hand of balancing them against each other, and giving everyone something new to play with.
A completely self-contained system, once I get through writing 'rules' and 'campaings/missions'. It will work out fine. However, one thing to note, is that once Horizon writes MMS 2.0 (and I get around to posing my thoughts/convincing bluedagger to play with MMS) then it will likely be included in this document as well.
Essentially we can create a 'mockup' of 2.0 that is widely in demand. With more readability and less confusion.
However a note on 'new ship desings' they must be made from GW components. Using GW trademarks and names to promote non-GW products is the surest way to get sued.
Valhallan, what are your ideas?
