Thanks Scoundrel - I've just cut the first frigates off their sprues so it might be a while before I get over to you guys. Hope you don't all move onto something else in the meantime :-)

Hi All, so I have my tiny 2x1mm magnets and I've just cut all the frigates off their sprues (and removed the mold lines of course!) and I'm left wondering just how far I should go with magnetisation (which I've never tried before)? It seems to make definite sense for the cruisers so I can easily tailor my fleet but interested in your thoughts on my eight frigates. It feels like the side weapon panels and engine/antenna array sections push on and pull off quite snugly without magnets. Any advice?

Yeah I wouldn't bother magnetising any frigates. It works well for the cruisers though, and they tend to be on the battlefield a lot longer!
