Evening, everyone -
While I am on a quest to locate players here in Calgary, I am trying to build up the material needed to play the game.
Can anyone point me to downloadable hex maps (kind of like the semi colored map you can get from this site) as well as things like asteroids, planets, black holes, that sort of thing that I can print out and use for the game?
Even generic ships to use as counters?
Thanks in advance if you can help in this matter.
Chris
Howdy, everyone -
I just recently purchased the game and I'm curious. I'm still reading the rules and I do have a quick question about design.
When trying to come up with a rough hull size based on say modern day naval ships, how would you go about doing it?
For example, if you wanted to create a frigate (from what I understand, they are typically up to 7200 tons in real life. Would you choose a size 7 hull to create one?
But then you get into the bizarre sizes, such as a battlecruiser which can range in size up to 45,000 tons.
Is there an 'average' hull size chart or general rule of thumb?
If this has been asked, forgive me.

I'm quite surprised that no one mentioned the exceptionally well written series The Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell (AKA John G. Hemry).
The Lost Fleet comprised 6 novels which was essentially a massive fleet from the Alliance (good guys) was suckered into a huge ambush in the Syndicate (bad guys) home world system.
Bring in John 'Black Jack' Geary, a hero thought dead a century before who leads the fleet out of the jaws of defeat into a long and deadly trek back to Alliance space, all the while fighting attempts at mutiny, sabotage, and threats on a system wide scale.
Really worth checking out, believe me.

Hey there...
Just picked up the game, and I'm reading over the rules. I might be interested in giving it a try but I'll warn you right now... I'm an extremely busy man.
