A Bit of the Pavonis Sector in my Basement

I have finally set up a permanent area in the basement for my Star Smuggler game. I fired up the laser and etched a ship diagram to use. The ship is creatively called the Antelope II. 

You can see I paired this with my White Box Set, so I have little dodads to count resources and Meeples for peoples. 

I also have old cardboard-mounted planetary tiles I made a few years back. I GIMP'ed the original files and flipped them so I don't have to mess with upside-down tiles. You can download them on Boardgame Geek. 

Zooming in a bit, you can see this poor man's map in green. Half of the map is for dispersed distances and the second half is for those in contact. The rules are super easy like that. Medics are white, pilots blue, engineers black, and gunners are yellow. The bad guys are red. 

You can see I have already gotten into trouble. 

The orange sheet is for common resource counting. I have fuel units, life support units, repair units, and two different types of robots, GM bots and Utility bots. The third kind of bots are Personal Bots which go on the character's sheets. 

This time through the game, I have a much improved Antelope II which requires changing the rules. A lot of rules. I shall share those tomorrow.
