Greetings backers! Thank you once again for supporting us and believing in us! This update is to just say hi, let you know we are getting close to our initial releases.

After a brief sabbatical to recover from several months of intense production, we are back in full swing and gearing up for our initial release on myminifactory.com.

At present, we are hoping to have the Early Adopter version of many of the ships ready to go on April 14th when we go live with the pledge manager.

What is the Early Adopter version? The entire ship, sans full instructions. Building the ships will be possible, however not completely painlessly. We will have some renders and full build plates to make it easier, but step-by-step instructions are several months down the track.

Currently, Valkyria is fully ready for launch. Albin is finishing up Fenrir and the Sleipnir Refit, and next week we hope to have another ship as well. We will probably do the Haena first, as it is a quick job. I think the Nidhogg will be done before Ratatosk, which is the only ship I think currently risks not being ready for the Early Adopter version.

Once the ships are all ready, we will prioritise add-ons and then achievements/stretch goals.

If you did not have a chance to back during the campaign, or want to be kept apprised of when we go live, you can register to be notified of the campaign here.

We will be integrating directly with MyMiniFactory for STL file delivery. We will notify you closer to the 14th about the exact details, but the gist is that we will send out redemption emails, and you will then just follow the links and find the STL files available to download on the date.

The Pledge Manager will have funding and pledge amounts shown in USD. Options for Stripe/PayPal are available if you want to buy add-ons or upgrade your pledge level. Physical models are not available to order on the pledge manager, but if you want them, please feel free to get in touch and we will see what we can do.

If you ordered a physical model of the Valkyria, you will be contacted individually when your production slot is getting closer. Of course, you can reach out at any point, but as mentioned during the campaign, the physical models will be produced in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year.

Congrats guys, awesome work, thank you so much for making the Aesir Fleet possible! We managed to unlock all eight revealled stretch goals, nine exclusive add-ons and a whole new ship!

You guys are who really keep the lights on at 2nd Dynasty, and we are blown away by all the support! You are awesome!

Well, we take a rest, just a few days, then get back to it. In several weeks, the funds should clear and we can get up our pledge manager. After that, we will start releasing the ships in two phases:

The first adopter phase is where the ships with all the STL files, but lacking full assembly instructions are released. Instructions take a very long time to make, requiring the ships to be imported into 3Dio then a pdf to be made. But most people can get by with build plates and some renders for guidance.

Valkyria is very straight forward and Haena not too far behind.

We expect to have a ship per week (at least) available, so when we open the Pledge Manager, there will be content to download and print.

Full Release phase comes next, where we release the full products will include the instructions as well. This will be a matter of months rather than weeks, and will be done on a ship by ship basis, starting with Valkyria, then Fenrir, Sleipnir, Haena, Ratatosk and Nidhogg.

We will be releasing the add-ons and stretch goals in parallel. More to come on exact timelines in the coming weeks.

For now, thank you so much from me and the rest of the team for supporting us!

Greetings! We just unlocked the GridForge Interior Cargo pieces for your cargo holds. We're also just six hours from ending the campaign, and we're having a midnight livestream to celebrate, be sure to join us!

There is a slim chance that we could even hit our final stretch goal, the Alternate Fusion Core! We're actually only around 30K from the goal (3K USD), with six hours left, it is possible!

Thank you so much for making this all possible!

We did it! The Railgun Emplacement has been unlocked! This cool piece of kit is designed to be attached to the side of the Nidhogg, but can also replace any Torpedo Weapons System that mounts on the side of the ship, technically making it compatible with the Ratatosk, Sleipnir Refit, Sleipnir and Fenrir.

Coming up next, we have two stretch goals that we are really close to unlocking:
