Delta > Delta 1700-Series Upgrade! More Coming Soon!
4 months ago – Fri, Dec 22, 2023 at 09:07:37 AM

You have been upgraded!

As a previous backer of our Kickstarters or because you purchased our original Transport Delta from us, we are informing you that we have upgraded the original Transport Delta starship to our new 2023 update.

Delta now has an official layout!

This free update includes a complete rework of the original Transport Delta design that we are calling the 1700-series. This is a of our original 2019 version, with a focus on printability, increased detail, and modernisation. Over 95% of the 132-odd STL files have been improved upon, with brand new documentation and 3Dio support.

It represents weeks of new work and refinements and is absolutely free to everyone that supported us over the years with a Delta purchase.

Changes include:

  • Increased printability of Hull; almost all pieces no longer require supports
  • Redesigned the entire interior of the ship, including all new support-free parts that emulate and improve upon the original layout
  • Reinforced the Cockpit neck, adding two additional clip holes it should now no longer droop
  • 6mm metal support rod channels if you want to reinforce the hull with additional supports
  • Added ventral turret port with airlock hatch as standard
  • Updated side turret models to Standard MK23 Turret
  • Added a new rear ramp based on the Odyssey extendable ramp with a new ramp cowl

If you prefer the older style Delta, we of course are leaving the original version for posterity, but you will find that the 1700-Series is far easier to print, assemble and play on!

Free?

Yes! No catch, no caveats!

If you really want to support us though, keep an eye out! On February 6th, 2024, we are releasing the Transport Delta 2400-Series to MyMiniFactory Frontiers! 

It features a whole new internal layout, including a hyperdrive, brand new engines, a cosier living area and missile launcher as default, along with a bunch of other improvements (we’ll make it worth the while).

The Delta 2400 interior is cosier, has fancier engines, weapons and hyperdrive, and that's just on the inside!

We are going to be offering a deep discount (75%) for original Delta owners in that Frontiers campaign! We hope you’ll join!

Save the date!

Free Delta Update Coming in December!
7 months ago – Tue, Oct 10, 2023 at 06:46:17 AM

Transport Delta is getting a free update! 

This will be coming to your Drivethrurpg account (or MyMiniFactory if you have had them ported over) at the end of the year, courtesy of a collaboration with the Corrix: Lava Moon Kickstarter campaign!

Why?

It has been a long time since we did any major updates on our core ships, but over the years, we have often returned to our earlier work to spruce it up and offer additional variations. Scout Ship Beta got its Beta Centauri pass, and Shuttle Alpha got both the MKIII-B update and the MKIV variant.

But the Delta has not had any love over the years, despite it being a popular design reminiscent of something that might come off the production line on Corellia.

The Delta has been a frustration, mostly because I was worried that if I touched that ship, I would suddenly find myself coming out of a design haze two months later with a virtually brand new ship. While this might not be a bad thing, it does not make business sense, and we know that our fans are itching for some new original content beyond official Traveller products and rehashes of old designs.

But when Kathy Millatt Studios approached me about including the Delta as an Add-On for her Corrix: The Lava Moon sci-fi terrain Kickstarter, I saw an opportunity. 

For those who are not familiar, Kathy has a wonderful YouTube channel focused on tabletop builds and miniatures. I was first introduced to her when she made a diorama using our Type S Scout ship in collaboration with MyMiniFactory.

If you are looking for some awesome OpenLOCK tiles for your Star Wars: Legion game or perhaps a Stargrave board, be sure to check out the campaign!

A reminder that if you already own the Delta, this will be a free update! 

Changes

Kathy wanted to scale the ship up from 28mm to 35mm, and I knew that there would be some printing challenges.

The main changes in this edition are the engines

We worked together to figure out what needed changing at a minimum.

  • Increased Printability - The entire rear of the ship now prints entirely support free
  • Engine support - the new engines are removable and able to support lighting if you are that way inclined
  • Fixes to areas that did not work very well, such as the internal engines

While these were the changes needed to help Kathy print it well, there will be another interior pass to fill some gaps and update the floor tiles to print on their sides instead like most of our latest OpenLOCK work.

Look out for the update coming in December!

Odyssey and Newsletter
about 1 year ago – Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 05:48:39 AM

Greetings captain!

We have just a little over a week left on our Odyssey Frontiers campaign. The Odyssey is an evolution in the modular ship design of the Chimera class. It has been designed with playability in mind, and has a variety of features to inspire compelling narratives within its generous confines.

Click on the image to go to the campaign

Unlike a Kickstarter, the Odyssey is available for download and printing today, along with a large number of the 12 already unlocked milestones (stretch goals), some of which are shown below.

Odyssey printed with the rear of Deck A removed, demonstrating engineering, the laser lens weaponry, airlock and shuttle bay

You also get this awesome and… questionable… Gigeresque xenomorph from Papsikels with any pledge to stalk in any of the nooks, crannies or crawlspaces of the Odyssey.

When you encounter this nightmare creature, run... but in what direction?

The Odyssey is light years ahead of our other starships, so make sure you get at our opening price of $35.00 before the price hike ($49.95), and use the code: Eumaeus for 10% off any pledge!
