I made a concerted effort lately to get the last of the various objectives I would need for A Billion Suns finished. It was not a difficult task. A few small ships and other items.
The game, if ever we get to play it, will call for a number of smaller items like communications satellites, and lifeboats. Easy enough to sort when so many small items are available from the various suppliers.
Another couple of light utility ships would also be very useful as lots of the missions feature either a mining or capture/collection aspect. I suspect we won’t always be attacking each other although it will be fun to shoot all my enemies ships out of the sky when I get to the point in a game when I know I cannot win.
Oh, and did I mention we might be needing Space Kraken?
These fine beasts are sold as fishing lures. I do wonder what sized fish would take a fancy to these blighters. These were the smallest versions I could find.
If these are representative of terrestrial squid, then I guess the truly alien creatures of this world do reside in our deeper oceans…
Nice stuff! 🙂 I like the krakens!

Those Krakens are super cool. Did you paint them or are they already coloured when you buy them?

They are silicone fishing lures so come pre coloured in a more realistic way than I could ever achieve…

Those look great- all the extra bits you mention seem great for generating scenarios.

Lots of missions in the book and supposedly lots more to follow in supplements and on the web so here’s hoping they get lots of outings…

Cool extras! How long are those space kraken? Around here there are fish that need to be 48: long to harvest and use a lure 7 1/2 inches long to catch!

Haven’t fished in any British waters for the last 20 years but these are larger than most of the things you could catch in any rivers round here :-). The lures themselves are 90mm so on a par with my larger ships and vast in size next to stands of fighters etc. Well in scale in my opinion.
