Scratchbuilt ideas

[mrjuice]

Heres a few ideas that I have floating around in my head. Basically things that I think would be cool to make but I'd like some feeback regarding any use of such things in the game. Having never played it some things may or may not fit in the game rule wise, but im sure they can be added as fluff. My ideas

I figure that ships need fuel, what kind I dont know, anyways, some sort of fuel depot. Could be part of an objective based skirmish, defend your fuel supply, attact another fleets fuel supply...etc

Mines...Ive seen the blisters from GW, 3 little mines in a small cluster, Im thinking of something that looks more like a submarine depth charge, one larger mine that would replace the cluster of three. Something that would be a hazardous obstacle placed on the gameboard, not necessarily something that would be deployed by a ship.

Relay station (for lack of a better name) some sort of anntenna relay station used to transfer messages into deep space. Im just thinking of something cool with lots of antennas.

Thoughts comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

well since i seem to be the only person on these forums at this pnt in time(see if u can get more people up here)

well the fuel thing could be good, large round tanks or something

as for the mine thing, it sounds like ur just talking about one large mine instead of 3 small mines

as for the relay sation, that would have to be probably mainly for tau as the imperium doesnt really need them, the tau however would need something like that

For the relay station (for Imperials) how about an astropath outpost or an adeptus mechanicus outpost

Fuel depot's would more likely be inside of stations

There should also be a few sorts of mines, anti-ship mines, asteroid mines, anti-fighter mines, torpedo counter measures for example. There would need to be mine-laying and mine-sweeping ships.

Nice idea, now to declog my brain of religious studies

Imperials Do too use relay stations. Especially around areas like the Eye of terra and the storm of the emperor and other places astropaths could become victim to insanity from being so close to the warp for extended periods of time
