Soon, bought a Dindrenzi and a RSN Patrol fleet. I have never used magnets but the Cruisers are built to use them to switch drop ons.
Uh Where do get them, how do you install them. Hardest yet align them. I have a Dremel tool.
Help!

Depends on the size of the magnet. But the best tools I've found for the job are a drill bit the same size as the magnet, plastic tweezers (hands down the best purchase to have when using magnets), and plenty of patience. Put a dollop of paint where you want the magnet to go and while it's still wet place the second part where it would be glued...voila...the paint will transfer to the other piece giving you a guide as to where you should be drilling both pieces.

***we could probably move this to the hobby section as it really is a good guide for any game***

If you read Ruckdog's Firestorm Armada Battle Report,  you may have wondered where all the terrain templates came from. I designed them myself, and they are all available for download:

The old cut-out Terran, Dindrenzi, and Directorate fleets are still available on the Spartan website (at least for now!). Grab them while you still can!

Ryjak, you need to update the text on your templates, the Maneuver Check is D6 -Turn Limit, all your templates have it as D6 - Movement.

Considering how long I’ve had these up before someone pointed this out, I guess people understood what it meant.  I appreciate the heads up.
