Topic: VTT and StarMada

hi all, I'm just learning this game (read have yet to play my 1st game) but I'm in the process of getting a VTT (Virtual Table Top) program called MapTools converted so I can play StarMada via the NET.  If you have any pics of ships, I'd be happy to aquire them from you to be put into a zip file.

So far, I have  a few maps and some ships (all custom, from sources on the Net).  If your intrested in helping or even gaming in MapTools, let me know.

BTW, price for MapTools.... FREE!  (nice eh?)

ok, thanks

Here is the 1st Map.  (I hope I did it right).
The pic is not as good as it is on my PC.

(I removed the pic.... it's rather large).

Very nice.  Our group is planning a sovereign stars campaign sometime soon, and we want to use a web-based map to keep track of everything.  I can see this sort of thing being very handy for that!

I've been using Gametable.  It's a bit lighter weight than MapTools, but also lacks some features.  The private map mode is great for Cloaking, though.  We also extracted the images from the Starmada tokens pdf and have been using them in Gametable (zip attached).

Nomad,

Very nice!  GameTable does do the job though.

When you put them into GameTable, you will need to resize them to fit 1 hex. 

(Face Size: 1 Square).  Then they will fit nicely!
(sorry I use WinRar, instead of WinZip)

Enjoy.
