Figured I'd give a heads up on how much "stuff" there'll be in StarStrike, as far as unit types and whatnot. Since the aim is to replicate as much of the feel of games like Rogue Trader and Laserburn, being able to build your own is pretty important right? So there will be: 11 basic troop types (from gang member to elite assassin)
9 basic armour types
20 character traits that can be applied to a unit or individual.
5 character traits specific to leaders.
5 character traits specific to psionics
23 infantry weapons
8 close combat weapons
14 heavy weapons
6 grenade types
5 types of anti-tank charges (though they mostly differ in strength)
9 items of equipment
21 vehicle profiles split across 6 types (wheel, track, walker, strider, grav, floater)
8 vehicle upgrades
5 unique human troop types
14 alien races
8 psionic powers
5 monster profiles
4 hostile plant types
5 animal types and probably a bunch more junk :) |

That's it?!?! Just kidding, of course. This sounds really cool. I'm certainly interested in it. |

The phenomenal Alex posted another AAR from the testing, with vehicles and all link He's got three older ones too on there. Love his 6mm toys too. |

All the aliens except one are done. Unit builder and the scenario section are the only big sections left to do.
Exciting stuff. |

Unit builder is painfully and slowly done. Scenarios and fluff (most of the latter is already written) left. 130 pages and that's before any editing, any art and anything else.
Think this may end up being the biggest game I've done so far. |

Can giant (~3-4x human size) robots drop their rifles to punch things, or use ridiculous melee weapons? It's not like I won't buy it anyway even if you don't have such silly things, you always do good work, I just built a new gunpla and feel like giving some space marines a good kicking. |

Walkers and striders (think long-legged robots) can make melee attacks but you have to pick it as an option when you design the vehicle :-) They won't be destroying entire armies on their own but they can certainly Mike Tyson a few space marines ;) And appreciate the vote of confidence! |
