  As someone mentioned at the con, just get as many bases you are likely
to have in any one scenario, then get just the connectors (10 for ~
$6.50) for the ships not being used.

Subject: 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! ;)
