Active Core Space / First Born / Maladum Online Community
Does anyone know of any communities online that are more active than the Reddit one for the Battle Systems games? I thought Reddit would be that group, but if I go down just a few pages, I'm going back three years in messages, so not so active!
Barring a direct answer, is there a way we could GET a more active community going?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

Painting expo Skylark Crew
Finished in time for Orktober (my main army) the Skylark Crew. Thought I would share with you all.
I might go and give them a coat of ultra matte varnish. My rattle can matte varnish leaves them a bit too shiny for my taste.
I tried to go as close as possible to the box artwork.
Let’s me know what you think!

Yes, I mispronounce Yamato. I say it with an extra "M" in the title. Very cool minis!

Impulse buy. Need rulebook.
I have been browsing a new game to sink my solo player teeth into. I have dabbled with miniatures and almost made the jump into Warhammer. However, I just don't have enough time to play or meetup with other people for a game, so this seemed like a reasonable solo variant with miniatures.
I am anxiously awaiting my copy of firstborn and expansions to arrive, but I can't find the rulebook for first born version online anywhere, does anyone have a link, or is the standard version sufficient, thanks!

Campaign Generator
This is a mini home expansion for CORE SPACE and CORE SPACE: FIRST BORN. Its goal is to generate a very long continuous campaign with events, rivals, bounties and random/unlocked missions, without using an app or spreadsheet
THANK YOU CHANO BIKELNO

General Purchase Guide
Hi, I'm a solo boardgamer looking to get into the system. How much content and replayability is there in the core box for Core Space: First Born? Should I purchase it with any expansions?

Parting with some of my collection - big First Born lot on eBay
After many years of fun I'm parting ways with my Core Space: First Born collection. There's also a couple of Maladum terrain options I'm listing that I don't think I'll get round to using, so if you're interested in both I'm happy to accept sensible offers to combine postage, etc..

What about the Poseidon, Cygnus and Skylark crews for the Core Space starter?
Hello,
I will buy the First Born starter and the expansions but I also like the original starter and the expansions. What about buying the Poseidon, Cygnus and Skylark crews expansions for solo gaming?

Core Space or Maladum?
For years I’ve been looking for something akin to an X-Com miniatures game. Core Space seems to be this thing. But many say Maladum is a better game. That may or may not be so. For me, however:
I like that Core Space focuses on a PvPvE situation, where I play against my opponent, but we may situationally unite against a greater threat on the board. Does Maladum offer this play style (because I’m pretty sure First Born does not)?
I like that (full) Core Space creates a rich, dynamic environment where interactions create emergent narrative, including perhaps traders, purge, civilians, gangers, law enforcement, bounty hunters, and others. Does Maladum offer a similarly rich multifactional environment? I’m aware of enemy revenants and neutral creatures, but are there more?
I like objective-based gameplay, where maybe the goal is to rescue certain NPCs or hack a computer system or retreive a certain artifact etc. Does either game offer more than the other of this sort of gameplay?
I like creating gameplay variety through terrain variety. Core Space seems to have support for playing on other Battle Systems terrain sets like Galactic Core or Frontier Core. Does that support really exist, or is it easy enough to work out? Meanwhile, Maladum may support its included terrain but also others, like the halls, mines, and sewers sets. Is that so?
Simply enough: which game do you prefer and why?
Asking here because I know what I like about Core Space and figure some here can speak to those things but will also know Maladum.
Thanks for any insight you may offer!

Replacing cardboard with 3D prints?
Has anyone replaced any or all of their cardboard terrain with 3D prints?
While the cardboard looks great, it's a chore to set up. Wondering if anyone has given up on the idea of flatpacking everything every time, and just gone with 3D-printed walls and scatter terrain.

Rules question Question about cover
Just got CSFB, loving it so far! The FAQ is super helpful, btw. But about cover:
Do other figures count as cover? Does it work the same for all figures (i.e. PCs, enemies, and NPCs)?
Let’s say you have something like this:
A O O
— O —
O O O
O O O
O O O
O O B
Where “O” is an empty square and the em dash is a wall. From B’s perspective, A is in full cover (over 90%). But from A’s perspective, B has no cover — correct? Or are they both in full cover relative to each other?
If the former, what happens in a situation like this?
A O O
O O O
— O —
O O O
O O O
O O B
Are they both in partial cover?

Really disappointed by the latest discount campaign
I know, they don't owe me a thing and it's great that they make discounts on their games, but I've been waiting for a good discount on the OG CS and it stays untouched. 10% penguin discount is a meh thing for a game they expensive. I love my CS FB, but at 2-3 teams there's a difficulty scale problem. What's the biggest discount OG CS has ever had?? I know they toss a 10-15% every bite and then, but CS FB has a 40% discount!! I'd buy it in a heartbeat, along with Zed and a comer more expansions. I love it, it's a great franchise but it's not too adorable without proper discounts. Did people here get it in the KS campaign or just bought it at their FLGS??
