"Battlestations: Second Edition! Tabletop Starship Simulator" Topic

"In games like Space Hulk, you see what's going in inside the ship, but you don't really get a feel for what the ship is doing, itself. In a game like Star Wars Armada, you get a feel of what the ships are doing, but only an abstracted sense of what's going on inside the ship. But if you watch something like Star Trek, you know that what's going on outside and what's going on inside are definitely linked (and you wonder why those chairs don't have seat belts). That's where Battlestations comes in, and they're up on Kickstarter now looking to fund a 2nd edition.

Battlestations is a multi-map game what what goes on outside the ship has a direct effect on what goes on inside the ship. It's also a blending of board game and RPG, as the rules give you lots of flexibility in how you want to overcome the situations that arise during the course of a game. The first edition had bunches of supplements added to it to add new alien races and scenarios for game play. The new version looks to bring that same amount of material to you.

The campaign has already passed its funding goal, so it's working on going through stretch goals now, and will continue to do so until the time runs out in 24."

It looks great and I know a couple of fanatics for the first game. There is a miniatures game a couple of brothers are working on that they have been taking to conventions for a few years now called Silent Fury that is great. The data cards for the ships have a diagram of the ship and you move your crew from part to part. Boarding parties can come aboard and the fun really begins there! You can try Silent Fury for free now. If I wasn't spending every free disposable dime on other projects right now I'd jump on this kickstarter though.
