Doc's gaming miniatures (back in the day) were made of lead..

There's a lot of Space Table Top games out there... Firestorm Armada, Starwars are probably the priemier two. Star Trek has a "Clix" style game which is models with bases that turn (with a click!) to mark damage and abilities.

I would welcome this, if only to gain cheap and easy to acquire EVE ship models.

Ahhh, the many hours I spent putting and gluing together tabletop models, just to find nobody I can play with....

I saw those models that my father assembled when he was young, they were awesome. Then I aquired model of a plane and thought it would be relaxing and easy to asseble it. When I started gluing it together, I was sooooo horribly frustrated. Damn I was sooooo frustrated, cursing whole time until I finally made it. Then I painted it.

It is the ugliest, most sloppily assembled model I have ever seen in my whole life. And it looks like ****.

But I keep it as a reminder not to assemble models again. And because I made it, finally.Pirate

Actually just thinking about owning miniatures, gluing them and painting, makes me cringe.

I'd buy it for sure. They could practically copy Gothic's rulebook, maybe a few tweaks here and there, some detailed models and we're good to go.

Seeing how space battles are in 3 d and table is flat, i dont know how they would handle the rules, without resorting to some simplification, making it a flatland kingdom. How many EVE players play strategic games online? I was for example a player of Beta CoH Online while it lasted, and that was so damn good game I would play it every day to this day, as I have been until they closed the beta and made the next CoH in line.

I would like to see strategic EVE game. but with ground combat, on PC. Commander would be a clone mercenary of one of 4 origins like in Dust, It would be your character, your Hero that participates in the battle, you would have many units that are ground based and are usual empire militias and pirate factions mercenaries, and the battles would take place on planets, and battles would affect the eve universe, and it would be awesome. I am crazy...

ummh ... EVE is sorta flat. You can go up and down "levels" of sorts a bit like a submarine but both the solar systems layout and combat in generally is sort of played in two and half dimensions. No looping the loop in EVE.

EDIT: To clarify EVE is not 3D in the sense you see here.

You know there was a Star Trek paper stretegic game.
This flat variant of EVE would look very similar on the table, I think.

Else maybe modified 3D chess with eve ships miniatures as the figures?

But I really want to see strategic PC game with battles on planets. Hnnng!

One more idea why people could play tabletop spaceship game, rather than video game about spaceships. He does have a point to some extend, I imagine he would not like gankers very much, same as every broken mechanic.
