So I have a 3'x4' black tabletop vinyl map with 1" numbered hexs. This will be the battle map.

Ships are broken down into 10+1 hull sizes.

HS Size HP Classification Crew
0 5m 5 escape pod 1-2
1 10m 10 inteceptor, shuttle 1-2
2 20m 15 heavy fighter, medium shuttle 2-3
3 40m 25 bomber, large shuttle 5-7
4 80m 40 gunship 10-15
5 150m 60 frigate, escort 20-50
6 300m 85 destroyer 40-100
7 600m 120 light cruiser, missle cruiser 100-250
8 1000m 150 heavy cruiser, light carrier 500-1000
9 1500m 200 battleship, medium carrier 1000-2000
10 2000m 300 dreadnaught, heavy carrier 2500-5000

Unlike reality, I will have a max speed based on the engine type. Ideally one should be able to accelerate to infinity, but due to hull integrity there will be a max speed. Turning ratio will also have parameters based on the hull size.

Any HS ship 2 or below will be allowed to turn twice within a one hex movement due to their agility, but this will also use up 2 movement points as well. All other units will be able to turn once per hex movement. Each hex is considered 100km across, so there is alot of room for dogfighting in a small area. Any number of ships can occupy a single hex.

I've included some units I've completed so far.

This is Part I of many.

So I added a lot more units for the first faction. I have now only carriers and specialty units left to do.

Frigate, Light Cruiser, Missile Cruiser, Heavy Cruiser, Battleship and the infamous Dreadnought. I hope you like them.
