Ruckdog, I am referring to the fact that there is a mix of small and medium ships, and looks like only one kind of small ships bundled with the differing choices of mediums.
Ah, I see where you are going with that, I think. Are you saying that if you wanted a medium-heavy force, you'd wind up with too many cruisers, and vice versa? Could be an issue...we will have to see I suppose. There might be some moderating factors, though:
1. It's possible that this might be mitigated somewhat by the list building requirements that end up in the final rules (this was never clearly defined during the Beta); IE, you need to take smalls and mediums in some proportion, and the sprues dovetail with that.
2. The sprues might be inexpensive enough that it's not a major issue to get enough ships for what you are wanting to build. The extras could then be used for all manor of things (trade, sell, bits for terrain, etc).
I also get the point about there being only a single type of frigate on the sprue, but then again we have to remember that in terms of the model range WC is essentially starting back at square 1. I wouldn't be surprised to see other types of small ships from WC (maybe in plastic, but I suspect resin is more likely), but I wouldn't expect it real soon. It took Spartan a solid 7-8 months from the initial launch of DW to roll out additional classes of small ships for the first 4 factions, after all.
