Topic: Just a piece of terrain...

that I was working on yesterday and today:

Wormholes. Yes, those tunnels in space that are either really useful or really deadly. In Starmada, however, they're a bit more benign.

If a wormhole is on the board, place two wormhole markers on the board. A ship, fighter flight, drones, battlesats etc that travels through the wormhole at one marker exits the other with the same facing it had before. Sometimes you may want to turn the wormhole around so this is not necessarily the case. If the unit has MPs left to use, then it may use them. However, wormhole travel is not as easy as that. Roll a d6. If a 6 is rolled, then the unit takes damage equal to its ORIGINAL hull value, which is rolled normally. Armour or other redundant devices, such as armoured gun batteries, do NOT work against this damage, it is assumed to be caused by the rough exit through the wormhole itself. Fighters and other fighter-like units are simply destroyed.
