A new game I've been Brewing for a while.

So far I've purchased a whole lot of plastic Spaceships:

And I'm almost done with my hex-table:

(I plan on using it for Battletech also, so that's why it's green).

Aren´t those three ships top left from the old Buck Rogers game?

Jaeger · « **Reply #2 on:** May 09, 2013, 09:15:44 PM »

They might be. I just bought a few bags I liked from ebay.

Looking very nice, do you have a link to where you got the ships from? If you want more have a look at EM4.

Search "plastic Space ship" on ebay.com and you get a few to choose from.

I even think there's a EM4 seller too.

Have you had a look at silent death for a possible rule set?

Jaeger · « **Reply #7 on:** May 10, 2013, 05:25:52 PM »

Nope. I really want to make this from scratch.

Unless Silent Death has a ship generation system?

dijit · « **Reply #8 on:** May 10, 2013, 09:13:17 PM »

It does and it seems to be getting a bit of a rehaul at the moment.

Jaeger · « **Reply #9 on:** May 10, 2013, 11:07:59 PM »

Ah ok. I like the idea of using different dice.

I'm currently looking into a re-write of a free ruleset called Sky Full Of Ships.

Rtght-o. Fighter, battler, transport.

The others (edit: in the top row) were for 'gumball machine' toy dispensers (edit part deux: an eBay seller claims they are cereal box prizes). The designs include things from Message From Space, a Vic Morrow live-action-attempts-anime movie that I can't decide if I love or hate.

I've a metric b***load of each, but I admire someone who'll actually get them used!

A quick question, what size are your hexes? So I can work out how big the star fighters are?

HerbyF · « **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2013, 07:10:26 AM »

I have the one third from the right top row in my collection of ship some where. It is a silver hard plastic and it came out of a gum ball machine. Mine is at least 30 years old.

Elbows · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2013, 07:23:22 AM »

Is the table remaining green? I do recognize the Buck Rogers ship. Also, they're perhaps 1"-1.5" in diameter - quite small really.

dijit · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2013, 08:45:27 AM »

I'm just wondering how they scale with EM4's starfighters.
