The last ship I had from the first batch of purchases for A Billion Suns was a fleet carrier that I doubt will get fielded in many games.
Why will it get so little table time? It is a hugely expensive ship that can act as a mobile Jump Point (deployment point) for the various smaller ships you can field. As you can field a static Jump Point for free and with table sizes being so small I can’t see it being high on the usefulness list…
It also looks quite similar to all the other larger classes of ship so needed a little something to make it stand out slightly. In this case the little something was a small Recon ship emerging from one of its launch bays. As I had ordered a pack of 7 recon fighters and planned the Recon Wings as 2 sets of 3 craft I had one spare, so… Why not?
Two Recon Wings and a Carrier pick their way through an Asteroid field on their way to their first mission.

I have picked this game up… but so far I have not had an opportunity to play. I suppose I need to build a fleet or 2 for the game – but so far I have had my attention elsewhere. Someday – for now I live vicariously through blogs I follow.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Nice looking set-up there with the ships and asteroids against the starfield background! 🙂

Who would have thought a few tin toys and polystyrene balls sat on a table cloth could look so good…

Very cool! I really like the fighter in launch to help it stick out. I have drooled over the GZG ships and fleets for years, and still have yet to buy any. Keep posting cool pics and that might change…

Well it looks flippin’ awesome. Definitely worth crafting a custom scenario so you can get it on the table.

Might be the only way it gets to be played with so might just give that a go…
