Hey there. After playing Star Wars Armada and X Wing miniatures, it stoked the fire of an old desire to create my own table top wargame system with spaceships.
Each game I've played in that genre has left me with some issue or another, and I've experienced enough different systems that I've got a good idea of what I want in and what I want left out.
I'll start with the elements from the games I have experienced that ended up being sticking points that have lead to me creating my own system.
I have played Call to Arms: Babylon 5, Call to Arms: Star Fleet, Battlefleet Gothic, Star Wars: Armada, Star Wars: X Wing, and am familiar with Halo: Fleet Battles, Firestorm: Armada, Federation Commander and Star Fleet Battles.
The goals for this game system are as follows:
1. It should play fast.
2. It is Capital Ship Fleet scale
3. Fighter Craft play a role
Ideally, here are some additional preferences:
A. Construction rules will be provided so players can create profiles for their own imagined ships
B. The ruleset should be flexible enough to represent a wide variety of ships.
C. The game should scale up in a reasonable fashion.
With these thoughts in mind, we begin.
