TT Combat have their Ether Drake project up on Kickstarter. Looks pretty good!

That's pretty!

A bit pricey if you need multiples, but pretty indeed.

I was immediately thinking of Billion Stars, which has 'space whales'. But in the game I played, there were three of them (and that's not the game's max for them either). So getting five or so of them would just be too expensive.

But nice they are...

Are you familiar with Stellaris? The Ether Drake is an epic single monster... but there are other large space creatures, which I hope to see in the future Stellaris Kickstarter from TT Combat.

Billion Stars!
Is that the new Osprey?
When is it coming out?

The automated dreadnaught has been unlocked, with the 2 up version not far off. The aesthetic does go with Dropfleet UCM....

Yes it is. And I would not know; I only played one test game with one of the play testers. I found it very fun and fast to play and it has some interesting mechanics, so I will be on the lookout for it too...

And not a little too

Very nice though...

Thanks Daeothar. Sounds like my kind of game.

Well that KS went further than I expected. Pledged for the 2 up Ether Drake, added more for the 2 up Automated Dreadnaught. May be able to convince my wife on the Dimensional Horror, 2 up of course, when the pledge manager gets up but she does not like the Voidspawn.

I am thinking these will work great in my current Full Thrust project where I am trying to convert Dropfleet ships into Full Thrust stats for a setting my wife and I are working on.

Anyone else decide to back this? Any keen Stellaris players looking forward to what TT Combat comes up with? I am betting on them trying to create some sort of Twilight Imperium style game.
