I'm in the throes of designing a LEGO space battle game. I'm borrowing some ideas from Full Thrust, at Wayne's suggestion, but I'm probably going to monkey with the combat substantially. For example, I really like giving the defender a defense roll, (...) (16 years ago, 19-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) I have been playing Full Thrust for years, it is the only Starship combat game I play. I use the old Micro Machine Star Trek ships. I have over 500 of them. I also have a fleet each of the NAC and ESU. I hav'nt thought of using micro scale (...) (16 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming)

Hi Wayne, (...) That does sound like fun, though it'd be quite a lot of work to set up. (Fun work, of course, but still...) (...) Thanks, I hadn't seen that one before, and it does look good. I've only taken a quick perusal so far, but I like the (...) (16 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming)

Hi Joe, I've always wanted to try a Lego mircoship game. But my group is a little too BrikWar oriented to break away (frankly, I love to try something like Battlestations in Lego; where there's a miniature ship-to-ship combat part and then a (...) (16 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I should add that I've heard of Renegade Bricks (from Mike Rayhawk's page), but the link thereon is dead, and my google-fu has failed to turn up any substantial information on it. Best, - Joe (16 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming)

This looks like a really neat system. The "description sheet" is very similar to a system I've used (though regrettably never got around to publishing) in a tactical dungeon game. One refinement you might consider would be to put the minifigs onto (...) (16 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

My son is finally old enough to get into LEGO wargaming, so I asked him today whether he was interested in giant robots, knights & dragons, spacemen... and he says he's most interested in space ships. We talked about it a bit, and agreed that we (...) (16 years ago, 17-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I don't think anyone has done a detailed write-up yet, but I might be able to answer questions if you have any. I had the dubious honor of taking on the Egregious in battle with the (URL).

(...) Wow! that's an impressive army. I've never seen so many pith helmets in one place. ...and thanks for bringing Space: 1889 to my attention. I love anything like that - Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Flash Gordon, etc. (17 years ago, 2-Jul-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
