The Abyssal Maw - Start

I presume none of you have seen starblazers?

Anyway the ship isn't official but done in the style, from what i can tell theres either an air bubble or the elevators act as a airlock.

I wasn't complaining about the lack of air pressure. Fighter carriers probably would store their ships externally, because an internal landing bay would require more mass. My complaint was that the lack of gravity would make aircraft carrier decks and runways totally unnecessary. I actually like most of the Star Blazers ship and fighter designs.

I'd say Olo is right on this one: It's a fantasy game, so if you want a flight deck, go ahead. Hell, if you want a giant muffin shaped flagship, I have no quarrel with it, it's just a little impracticle.

When I hear Starblazer I immediately think of these comics...

not a bad lego version. I like the mass of AA batteries.

I should be able to hand you guys rules for fleet construction by tomorrow evening.

Great! Thanks a lot.

Not too much of a problem. My pleasure.

I'm thinking an inch will be equal to about 3 pixels, in terms of weapon ranges (which were just recently added to the v1.5 rules).

The Fleet Building rules are up! Any questions can be asked in the BrikSpace v1.5 thread in Bonus Materials.

Now, keep in mind that the entire ruleset is not done being made over, so some things may be incomplete. If you see anything like this, please notify me in the same thread I mentioned above.

Other than that, go build fleets, and get me fleet stats. You have two options: post them here, or PM me. It's entirely up to you whether your ships stats should be secret or not.

You all have 46 FP to spend on your fleets.

Get to buildin'!

How fast are standard fighters?

6" move.

Oh, sorry, I hadn't read far enough.

I apologize, I fell a little bit behind. All I've gotten done so far is a bit of fleshing out of Nevindar's Flagship; it looked off somehow, and I solved the issue.

(once again, you can click for a clearer picture)

EDIT: Nevermind, redid it again.
