The ship cards are two sheets of A3 that need cutting into seven parts (the cut marks should be self-explanatory. One page is the ship cards for the Imperium, the other for the Insurrection, other than colour differences they are the same. You can download them here. You also need a D10 and a D6 (with fairly rounded corners).
A couple of ships and their fully-loaded cards
The laser cut file is for a piece of material that is 25x20cm. I use 5mm thick perspex but, as long as it's not too thin, MDF or wood would probably work fine. You need to cut a couple of sheets so you've got pieces for both sides, but to be honest you could just cut it once and play asymmetric scenarios using one set of ships (which obviously means you need half as many cubes and discs and only one sheet of A3 ship cards). I've done it as an SVG file, but if you need it in a different format I can probably convert it - just let me know the specs.
So you are the perfect person, you have a laser cutter, some perspex lying around, an A3 printer and bot loads of wooden discs and cubes. You've got nothing better to do than make a prototype for me (those PIPs are like crack aren't they?), so what is it I want you to test?
Number one: Is it fun? Does it have potential? Did you enjoy playing? What changes would you recommend?
My intent is that the game can be played in free play where players can build a fleet of their choosing up to a given points total or scenarios, where the players have potentially differing fleets, differing points and differing goals.
I currently have no points values for the ships and no scenarios. So any ideas on those fronts would be much appreciated.
For information, here's the current ship roster:
| PIPS | Rank | Name |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | Very Petty Officer | Not A Cyborg Zircher |
| 6 | Very Petty Officer | Games Book |
| 2 | Ensign (Expendable) 3rd Class | 7isprime |
| 1 | Red Shirt | Eric Francis |
