Re: [GZG] Ninja Magic Magnetic Mounts and Connectors

The Ninja Magic bases do prevent spin, but as stated, they're waaaaay
too expensive.	They retail at around $1.25 each.  My primary fleet has
about 90 ships in it.  I'm not shelling out over $100 for clasps.  I
have two more fleets and a third being planned.  I'd rather spend the
majority of the money I have to allocate on ships.  Shame that they're
so pricey.  They're really nice.  

I've been using magnetic clasps from the craft store.  I have minor
problems with spin, but it's easy enough to re-align the ship with the
base after movement.

My biggest complaint with the ones I've been using is that I have to
make individual bases for individual ships - some sets of clasps have
opposite polarity!  I don't like my DDs spontaneously jumping off of
their bases in the middle of battle! ;)
