Another problem with the signatures: It makes it impossible to search for threads and post with say HWK290, as you get every thread as hit where someone with HWK in his/Her signature is posting something, most often absolutely unrelated to HWKs.

There is someone who has the whole owned fleet in the signature, but hidden as spoiler. I think that solves that particular problem.

I only count each ship once.

I have my signature so when I post that "if FFG ever releases the TIE Avenger, I'll buy six" the FFG guys that read the forums know I'm serious.

To respond to your original question, each ship is listed once. I used to list which paint versions I had too.

But I realized that was just silly.

I hadn't thought about it in this regard. Making it a spoiler seems prudent now. Anyone want to catch me up on the technique?

And this is why I like to look at people's collections makes me feel better about the spending....even though I would still do it...

I don't know. Looking at other people's list I feel I spend way too much.

As someone who never learned to count, this thread offends me.

I changed my signature because of this thread.

Gecko, can I borrow your Sig?

I can't say I'm a fan of signatures, as they do get in the way of the topic at hand. I do like the fleet bragging (in the right place). There used to be threads like "Show us your fleet" which included great pictures (not everyone has simple stock ships!). Maybe it's time to revive one of those.

When I finally get my two Gozers I'll do that. Unfortunately that purchase has been delayed by purchases of more critical importance (and please understand I consider my x-wing collection important).

I didn't want to do the fleet sig thing as really, who cares what I have?

Suffice to say with the exception of Goz/wave8 I can field 100 points of any single small ship, easy - and some large. I have huge ships for epic, and am one of the rare few with a Nebulon B frigate. I also have a DX-9 transport and a Delta class escort shuttle.

Only if you bring it back.

No promises buddy. Has to be said, frigate + Mad love for the XG-1.

Now, if only someone made a strike cruiser/lancer frigate/DP-20/ other space dong.
