The project is moving along. Not a ton of work done yesterday, but I did work out some conceptual issues.

Wow! You are dedicating a lot of space to this cool project. Are you planning to mount another board on top so the table can be used for other games as well?

I am lucky enough to have a full basement to myself, mostly. The washer and dryer take some space, but I have a lot of room.

The board is in 4 sections, about 2 feet by 3 feet each. I will cram it in some place.

Looks like it splits into quarters. The tape is holding the seams together. I was just thinking of a few ways to add a clip mechanism to foam so you can slot them together.

Will ships be able to move onto the ridges or are they confined to the inner part?

At first I was thinking no, reason being, the Crater is kept free of floating debris by Repulsors. And flying above it will be VERY hazardous.

Now I am thinking of allowing a "popup" to avoid collisions but at the chance of taking damage. IE, they pop up quick to avoid the wall, and dive right back down. Will have to play test it.

looking good, I also think it will be a good table for ground combat.
