Ship's crew reporting...
almost 7 years ago
– Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 01:12:41 AM
Satiene is unlocked! Unstable, power mad cyber-ladies for all :)
"I'll take this cabin, you don't mind bunking with the crew do you, Captain?"
.
Next up are the two final crew members who've been lurking at the back all this time.
Beck is the Black Maria's speculator, a born merchant, he buys and sells anything and everything to keep the crews heads above water. He prefers to work in the background but he'll strap on a gun when he needs to and has a vicious and unsporting attitude to fighting.
Beck is partly based on his 90's musical namesake.
.
Tirgarde excels at everything he puts his mind to, he's the Ion Hope's tech, co-pilot and troubleshooter. But he's in it for himself all the way down the line and he doesn't mind telling you to your face.
Tirgarde is partly based on the actor David Tennant when he's playing a villian :)
.
Beck unlocks at £131K and Tirgarde at £135K :)
Cheers :)
Wayne and Colin.

The Mega Deal add-on has gone down well, enough to trip another Stretch Goal just as i'm about to shovel dinner into me gob :)
Cuddly Chit is now yours, lumbering around being all big and surprisingly nimble.
"Party time! Let's get Chit on!"
.
Next up, devious Satiene, up to no goodery i'll warrant! Satiene unlocks at £127K!
"Just leave that severed head there, would you? Run along."
.
We've more stretch goals lined up for your delectation :)
Right, back to my dinner!
Cheers :)
Wayne and Colin.
THE MINIATURE MEGA DEAL!
almost 7 years ago
– Mon, Dec 11, 2017 at 09:07:02 AM
Well, we are into the last 5 days of the campaign and it's all going very well indeed. We're still unlocking cool stretch goals quickly and the pledge value is getting truly mighty :)
Let's see if we can add even more value, this time in the add-ons...
CROSSFIRE AT CALLISTO
The crew of The Yamato are in a small mining town on a pickup. A fire fight breaks out between the local gangers and the Galactic Guard. Also caught in the crossfire are innocent civilians and two local security cops. Protect the civilians and help the local security restore order! Will Ellen be able to control the Beast or will he run rampage?
The Miniature Mega Deal has 12 original miniatures including a brand new trader crew, a new Mission log and 5 NPC specific Event cards all for the piffling sum of £35 :)
(RRP if bought separately would be £48 for the miniatures alone!)
A whole new trading crew and a bunch of guys :)
.
THE CREW OF THE YAMATO
CAPTAIN WEIS
Weis served the military of his homeworld faithfully for thirty years but was retired against his will due to cutbacks. Feeling betrayed and lost Weis struggled to adapt to civilian life. Knowing only how to be a soldier Weis took over the command of the Yamato although the ship itself is owned by a small trading conglomerate.
ALECIA
Wild and reckless Alecia was fast heading for trouble. Running with a gang she realised she wasn't cold or hard enough for that life. Weis took her under his wing and although she would never admit it she sees him as a father figure.
ELLEN
As a mercenary Ellen sold her skills as Beast and Master, controlling the 'beast' via a neural network patched directly to her bracelets. In reality the relationship is far more symbiotic and over the years the Beast has become almost a part of her personality.
THE BEAST
Large and powerful, from a species known as the Merg, the Beast has an intelligence on par with a higher mammal or lower primate. He accepts Ellen's control and without her guidance would succumb to the destructive nature that caused his species to be hunted to near extinction.
The crew of the Yamato are also available as an add-on separate from the Mega Deal. Speaking of add-ons we've also made Zed's Crew available.
I'd avoid a pub with these guys propping up the bar!
.
If you're a core backer you already have them as FREE stretch goals, they're available for those who have a Terrain only pledge or just want more Zed! (I know there's plenty who want to paint Evangeline in two different outfits).
What else have we got coming in the last 5 days...
One thing we've been asked for many times is the ability to be able to create your own characters within the Core Space universe. We've been working on a system that will allow you to do just that. It will provide you with generic physical versions of the Character, Class, Ship, Civilian and NPC Boards. Also some blank equipment tokens so you can even make your own weapons. More on this in another update :)
Purge back up...
So what happens when the Purge are struggling to defeat you, maybe you're fielding some very experienced crew with all the best weapons and teaming up with your fellow player's to fight back the normally unstoppable onslaught...
Classified for future update! :)
.
We have two new Purge NPC's coming soon that will turn the tide of battle again, will you be able to stand your ground when they enter the board? Both will bring new challenges to how you approach a mission and even the most advanced and brave traders will think twice before charging in...
Restricted for civilian viewers! :)
.
Civilian and Ship Boards...
Finally we are working on some ideas with the Civilian and Ship Boards that will allow more flexibility, both in game and between missions. It will open up character and civilian options as well as aid you when hiring new or replacement crew members... More in this over the last few days. :)
So until the next update...
Colin and Wayne.
New miniature reveal - Satiene :)
almost 7 years ago
– Sun, Dec 10, 2017 at 10:44:09 AM
Boom! Stretch Goal 22 is unlocked, taciturn Hunters to all our Core backers :)
"Not another photo op? Just point me at something to shoot!"
.
At this point in the evening I like to take a puff on a liquorice pipe and bask in the glow of a glorious stretch goal banner. So let's just take a look at the MIGHTY ORANGE BANNER OF FREE STUFF! That's 14 FREE miniatures and a tonne of terrain not even counting the 8 bonus minis!
Now that's a mighty orange banner :)
.
SG 23 is Chit, ready and waiting to be unlocked at £124K!
"Hey, guys, just hanging around and Chit."
.
After that we have the fourth crew member of the Cygnus, Satiene Teelac.
A perfect example of how power and privilege can corrupt Satiene is spoiled, devious and manipulative. Her augmentations have thrown the darker elements of her character into sharp relief.
Estranged from her twin brother, (Captain) Oberon Tellac, she is the black sheep of a once proud family. Eventually her actions will see her cast out from the traders and into the arms of a criminal gang.
"I wouldn't say i'm all bad but the day is young."
.
BOARD GAME GEEK!
We made it! We're now in the top 50 :) However, we can't snooze too much as we may get bumped by other games so if you haven't done so feel free to cast a hitchhiker's thumb :)
Captain Sondar - Space Adventurer!
almost 7 years ago
– Sat, Dec 09, 2017 at 10:42:19 AM
Captain Sondar of the good ship Cygnus has now been unlocked at £118K :)
"Now, where's those exciting adventures i've heard all about?"
.
The Orhna are a species that evolved on a gas giant and never developed subcutaneous fat or skin, or at least not how we think of them. Their bones are also extremely elastic, an Orhna out of their exo-suit could squeeze themselves into a large cargo crate and be perfectly happy.
After that we have Hunter unlocking at £121K. a man so serious about his business no one knows if 'Hunter' is his name or his job description. Remember, every concept model will have an exciting action pose when they get to the sculpting stage :)
"My particular set of skills does not include small talk."
.
Then at SG 23 we have Chit, a large likeable alien who makes every ship seem small :)
"Hello, everyone, how's it going?"
.
The Crustaceans, commonly known as the Chit, are a benign species who are perceptive to the point of spookiness. Boot strapped into space by a neighbouring star system they are much sought after as Jacks of all trades. Away from their homeworld every individual is known as 'Chit' which confuses everyone but the Chit themselves.
BOARD GAME GEEK
We're still climbing up that leaderboard! Feel free to give us a nudge if you haven't done so already - and thanks if you have!
