Just Ship Pawns?

[barnabyjones]

I'm interested in getting the various Starfinder Pawn boxes, but I'm finding more and more often, the Ship Pawns are really what I am actually interested in getting my hands on. Is there any chance that there might be a "Ship Pack" or something similar for space combat coming along eventually? Maybe with asteroids of various sizes, drones, space stations, etc, etc...

Please please please!

With the release of miniatures for Starfinder being a complete disaster / no show, please can we at least have some ship tiles (with facings etc) suitable for hex grid combat?

while we wait for it here's a link for free ship counters

Traveller ship counters

or search drivethrurpg for some

I’m not a fan of the miniatures, but in case your or anyone else is interested, the prepainted versions have actually started shipping. The unpainted ones remain in the same nebulous state.

These are the ships that I use. They are the perfect size for a battle mat, and you get 72 ships for less than $5. There is a large amount of variety, too. I highly recommend them.

Amusingly, what my group uses for miniatures, ship or otherwise? Mostly Legos, supplemented with some plastic dinosaurs. It has worked for us, though it helps that one player has quite a collection of Legos and a willingness to build custom minifigs.

I just received some of these ships. There are 12 for the price $5.18, but the quality is good and they are painted as shown, and about 1.5 to almost 2 inches in size. I also considered the others mentioned by Jasque, but I decided I didn't need a whole lot of them, so I bought the ones I liked better. A friend brings over a mini-projector which is suspended over the table for our maps, so we can scale the hexes to fit the ships.

You too?

I find that Lego figure work great for player tokens - especially when decked out with various weapons and armor pieces. We also have some of the Minecraft mini figures that we have collected over the years. I think our ship is currently a Minecraft spider.

Also, I built a Lego replica of their starship - about the size of a small cantaloupe. Complete with weapons and working loading door and landing gear. It doesn't work as a token on the space hex grid though...

Ha! I have those bookmarked already for when I star running Starfinder again and need minis.

I have those ships as well. They are really nice. My only complaint is that they are a little larger than I wanted.
