Even if we assume Enterprise is the least popular of the Star Trek series, still a relatively high proportion of trekkies have seen it, and are thus familiar with the Romulan drone, or any other even more obscure design from the series. Readers of the books are a much smaller faction, and smaller still are those who read Titan or Aventine books. To those of us familiar with prose ships it might seem so obvious to have these ships, but really we are a tiny insignificant fraction of the market Eaglemoss are tapping into. If a ship has been on-screen it's infinitely more recognisable to most trekkies than any books-only design.<br /><br />And that is relevant to what Fox and Brandon are talking about. Those us who want these ships are a minority, why would they bother all their "normal" customers polling to see if they want a ship (several ships indeed) most of them have never heard of? I'm sure once we can demonstrate the number Ben wants they will indeed offer it out to their existing subscriber base, and probably get a good deal more than 5000 orders once they do. But they're not going to provoke those customers, who mostly couldn't care less about non-canon ships, without due cause, and that cause is 5000 ravenous Titan fans!8of5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702128515118267859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-78611941056067162112015-03-25T20:25:55.371+00:002015-03-25T20:25:55.371+00:00Why are so many signatures needed?

I bet you could count on one hand the number of people who were excited and the prospect of the Romulan Drone and they did that.A Time Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598101405043991187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-16429803532970738672014-11-14T22:12:43.774+00:002014-11-14T22:12:43.774+00:00They're not doing it because they' don'...They're not doing it because they' don't really care either way. If they really cared, they'd simply send an email to every subscriber asking them if they'd like the ship, then they'd get the replies and know instantly if there was sufficient demand to justify the cost.<br /><br />It would certainly give them a more reliable idea than a random Internet poll.Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756314199036780238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-74007649256808563592014-11-14T16:15:31.938+00:002014-11-14T16:15:31.938+00:00I really don't understand why they don't j...I really don't understand why they don't just make this a special order..
