Would they be just warships or a combination of warships and assault dropships?

I would definitely buy an aerospace warship/dropship/fighter introductory box set. But I assume that's not what  we're taking about. Still I've wanted to do some small aerospace skirmishes (fleet scale) but have been too intimidated.

I have few minis at this point, so anything with the name 'pack' on it gets a yes from me.  Much easier to bulk up forces that way.

I am undecided about adding dropships and fighters. If I do it will just be a few of them. I will make the adjustments to the packs I have in line to add a few.

I'm IN!  I need some more Aegis to complete my Falcon fleet.  I'm also building a Taurian fleet, too. I'm ready to purchase a pack for every faction as they come out.

I'll admit, I'm impatient. I'm finding myself checking the IWM site daily(if not more often) to see if they've arrived. :-[

I'm surprised no one has said it yet, but how about telling us exactly what you've got in mind, rather than teasing the ones that like warships?  :D  Can you be specific about the first one or two "Fleet Packs" that you've got lined up?   ???

Sorry about the delay, but I have been tied up with moving several of the websites that I host to the new server by the end of this month. Your normal schedule programing will be back this week....

Cool. The SLDF squadron would probably be better renamed 'cruiser squadron', but aside from that, it's pretty nice*. I'm definitely in for any pack that gives me more Pintos and Vigilants.

*Fully a third of those ships are completely unsuited for orbital fire support.

1.  Any idea how much these packs will run in price ?

2.  Wow, that is a lot of warships,  I was thinking it would be 4 ship squadrons.

3.  Holy concidence, warships aside I was just about to place an order for every bit of the DS & Microfighters in that Firesupport group.  Might have to skip those & instead go w/ the WSpack.

The warship squadron packs are bases on the squadron types listed in liberation of terra. The ships in the above sldf pack were mentioned in the write up for that squadron

A squadron is listed having at least six warships, so I did that as a min. As for price it is total of all minis in pack at 20% off total.

The warship packs are up for Liberation of Terra. Just a general note, I made use of the Lola I/II in some of the packs since the Lola III miniature is of the 3057 version.
