Crooked Ships, Crooked Ships Everywhere

By Varulfr, in Star Wars: Armada

So I finally got my Chaemera and Profundity, as I had them all preordered with Legion stuff, and set them all up last night. Lo and Behold, once again I have a crooked Star Destroyer sitting at just the slightest, yet obvious and annoying, tilt on its peg. Likewise my Profundity is crooked, made even more obvious by the command bridge multiplying the tilt and being totally off-center. All this after my first ISD having the same tilt. It's like some kind of joke, I swear there is some guy in a factory somewhere going "haha we'll just tilt this one a bit to drive Varulfr out of his mind...".

So... How do I fix this? I've tried pulling the peg hole out of the older ISD with pliers without much succes, it's pretty well stuck in there. Do I contact FFG support? Am I stuck with an insanity-inducing OCD tilt? Do I just pretend that every ship in my fleet is making a slight turn to the right?

At least your bases aren't obviously wobbly.

That's a nightmare, wobbly bases AND crooked ships? I think Armada is dead.

I had the same issue and put a little superglue on the sides of the connection point, then moved it back and forth until it dried. Now there’s enough friction to keep the model at just about any angle. A cleaner, more elegant solution would be a dab of glue inside the front/back of the socket...

I have more than 40 ships and nothing wrong with them.

Maybe you are just really unlucky. :(

The peg base of one of my ISD just brake when a friend drop it down. I did the same as The Jabbawookie explained and it work well (even with all the weight of a ISD).

But you could just ask Palpatine for a new one ;)

Not sure I understand what you mean... you put it on the inside of the connection point? And the idea is to create a... catch, I guess? To kind of push back so that it mounts at a slight angle, thus correcting the tilt?

For me, the fact that I put some glue (really not much) on the peg, where the connection with the peg and the base is made, it's thick enough to hold the peg there.

You have to force it a little bit but I do this since many games and it hold. Maybe I could just by a new peg but for me it's working. ;)

This^. Exactly what I meant, but explained better.

I have 3 neb-bs (shudders in horror)

1 expansion and 2 cores.

My original neb from the core sits crooked on its base looking to the right. The other 2 sit straight.

Weirdly if i switch the crooked neb bs base with the expansions one, they both sit straight.

Ive had this happen with a couple crooked ships where if you switch the base theyre no longer r crooked nor is the ship that was swapped.
