The submitted manuscript was 118 pages in 10pt Times New Roman font.

If the section on the Dominator Star Fortresses is removed (my suggestion should it need to be trimmed in length), then it becomes 109 pages.

Come publication, I would hope that Fleets is a 112 page sourcebook... same as the other Phase World Sourcebook...but we shall have to see.

My suggestion was that if it were cut out, that it could easily go into a Rifter, or be a download from the Palladium website.

I hope that section can be put out as you wrote it Braden!

"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."

Amen, and speed its release to the general readership....

The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Just a question. Are there gonna be reprints of all the old spacecraft too? I hope so. Looking in all the books just to find the right one is kind of annoying. I mean i guess if you have played in Three Galaxies forever then you have no problems doing it but i only now started to use the setting more actively than just letting the players visit Phase World from time to time.

Also some of them need some reprints and edits.

Yeah thats a good point too. Though PBs standard page count is something like 160 pages isn't it? So they could just put that in there too so it can be used as a reference book too. Like the GMG for example which is invaluable to me even though i have every possible book there is.

I believe all the material for PW spacecraft is new. I hear from a previous post there is upwards of 25-30 new spacecraft in the manuscript.

Petrified wood just because we could.

I was referring to the Dominator Fortress! :D It sounds pretty cool that there will be 25 to 30 new starcraft!

In my PW game, I run alot of internal ship battles, so I hope the book has some deckplans so I can show the PC's where they are on the ship where they are fighting =)

these aren't PW ships, but you might convert a few...

I took mine down for now. The new sight format and the size of the images don't line up nicely. I have to take some new and smaller shots of the ship. Or maybe I can put them as is in the gallery. Hmm, have to try that. :eek:
