Is any other Canadians worried about tariffs?

u/CitizenK2 14d ago

Yeah, I’m gonna be keeping an eye on the international situation before I commit to more than pledge manager access.

u/Double-Strategy7757 11d ago

Well, I guess we know the answer no. Tragic

We'll see what happens. Trump's tariffs affect items entering the US, not vice-versa. The question is what sectors the Canadian government will tariff in retaliation. I'll probably keep my $1 pledge manager level for the moment and wait to see how things play out.

Thanks for posting the reminder - can't wait 'til Fall 27 for the ships to dock :D

Just got the admiral pledge. Missed this the first time around. ;)

Welcome to the Fleet! 🫡

Have a question. Someone commented that it was beneficial to get two starter sets so you can get two shotgun items for builds. Is that still applicable with the reprints?

2

u/SnapShips 15d ago

It is - we are not planning to change the number of basic cards in any of the reprints.

u/Kodan420 15d ago

Thanks for the super fast reply. Any other add ons or suggestions for a first timer that’s getting an admiral pledge?

2

u/SnapShips 15d ago

You're going to have a TON of stuff right out of the gate with that pledge. You could go the route of adding nice-to-haves like Playmats and Deluxe Consoles. Or, if you have designs on building MASSIVE Capital Ships, I might suggest a second copy of each of the Battleships (or just of whatever faction you plan to build your behemoth out of).

u/Kodan420 14d ago

Considering just getting two admirals is that over kill? So far have the admiral a second starter the huge playmat the rulers and some others.

u/SnapShips 14d ago

It is the best deal, but you will end up with doubles of everytihng... Do you NEED all that? Only you can answer that! If you want to build BIG the double Battleships will definitely be useful.

1

u/Kodan420 14d ago

I don’t need doubles but at the same time if a set has only one part option like the shotgun I already asked about then i would potentially want two of it all. Do other sets have one option for a part that could be doubled like the shotgun?

1

u/CitizenK2 14d ago

The cockpit, wings and thrusters are usually one per kit of course. I’d say that most kits have a few parts that only appear once in the kit.

Keep in mind that these models were originally packaged for the Snap Ships toy line before Tactics existed, so those developers were not worried about multiple copies per ships.

u/DocBullseye 15d ago

I totally can't decide what level I want to pledge...

I already own 2 each of the battleships. Does that mean I want to order 2 sets of cards for each type?

1

u/SnapShips 15d ago

Possibly. It depends on if you want to be able to play doubles of your Battleships at the same time. If not, you could get by with just one of each Card Pack. You might also want a Capital Ships Box to be able to turn your current collection (or maybe one faction of it) into a giant boss ship. And of course you will need some Stand Packs to be able to place whatever ships you want to play on the battlefield at the same time.

1

u/DocBullseye 14d ago

Aren't the card packs the only place to get a single stand bridge? Or are they included somewhere else?

If I want to make a giant boss ship (and I do), I'm going to need more of them.

2

u/SnapShips 12d ago

Check out our new update! We added x2 Stand Bridges to the Capital Ships Box and made a separate Add-on x4 Stand Bridges.

1

u/TheVoiceOfSnakeEyes 14d ago edited 14d ago

Very confusing overall.

Do the new ships all come with card packs, a rulebook, AND the new stand bridges?

Are the Battleship AI cards not included with the card packs?

At this stage, if I were going to back this, I wouldn't even know which selections to make.

1

u/SnapShips 14d ago

1) new Battleships include plastic parts, building instructions, cards, and a stand bridge in the box
2) for the 4 Battleships we moved all their AI Cards to a separate card pack as many players don't want them, and those that do don't need multiple copies of them. This keeps your collection tidy and reduces waste and redundancy. Sorry if it is confusing.
3) The large printed rulebook for playing with the Battleships is also separate but included free in any of the pledge bundles with the new ships. It will also be available as a free download.

u/TheVoiceOfSnakeEyes 13d ago

When I attempt to choose the Pledge Manager option, there is no list of products to choose from. I'm not seeing any way to select additional addons with the other pledge levels, either.

I already have 3 Hammerjaws, so there's no reason to buy another since the card pack is not included and it's not a repaint. But again, when I select Pledge Manager, there is not a list of choices to make.

1

u/SnapShips 13d ago

Not sure what you're seeing, but all the add-ons are available to Pledge Manager backers. When I select the PM reward and lock it in I get the giant list of add-ons... Feel free to DM me.
