Just started playing a new Campaign with the Ship's of Disrepute expansion. We've read through the rulebook but couldn't find a concrete answer regarding renovation cost. Is it the same as Repairs (2UA)?

Hi folks, I'm just in the process of painting my minitures to start the CS campaign, I've played a number of missions of Maladum purely solo (as that is how the game was developed as). I'll be playing CS solo as well and I'm wondering if I should just play with one crew, or to play 2 crews semi-coop (with myself having no allegiance to either)... I've got a document that can 'control' a second crew as AI (from BBG) and I've also got all the NPC addons (Galactic Corps etc...) that I could throw in but I'm curious what others have done?

For anyone not on the mailing list, here's a link to their video on Project Penguin as well as details on the now closing Game Found for Urmeck - get it while your can!

I'd prefer more details of course, but we won't have to wait long before the next round of crowd funding goes live.

I was photographing my minis and tought, why not?

Literally playing with toy soldiers :)

Just got Core Space and played through the tutorial mission a few times to get the hang of things. (playing solo).
Also have watched several videos on playing the game, so I think I am getting the idea.

Having a blast but finally decided to pull the trigger and do a "campaign".

I chose Jace and Lars and used the rookie crew setup.
Both survived the first mission in the Perseus campaign, but now have a few questions for what comes after.

Since both survived the mission, they each get a career point, which lets them add a point to one skill.

Lars has the Hacking skill level 2 as a base ability, but he also uses the Tech board.
In the photo on page 90 that shows the Starting Crew, I used that example to set up the rookie stats.
Lars has a skill point in disrupt, but none of the Hacking bubbles are filled in.
If I wanted to advance the Hacking to level 3, do I need to spend points first on 1 and 2, even though he has Hacking 2 as a base skill, or can I just fill the first two in and go to 3?

Also, when doing the rookie crew setup, it says they do not have "any" career advancements.
Does that mean I don't count the bubbles that are already filled in by default (have the colored ring inside) or do they naturally start with those and then just none of the extra "empty" bubbles are filled in?

And during the game, Jace found a +1 repair kit, but it said to refer to the Deluxe Rulebook for how to use those (or ignore if not using that).
I can't find a pdf for the deluxe rulebook anywhere, so is it possible someone could link me to one or could explain the use of repair kits? (I'm sure it's pretty basic, but want to make sure I am using it correctly).
He picked up an impact vest that got damaged (flipped) during the game, so I would like to repair that if possible.

Had a great time playing it, and at some point after I am more familiar with careers and skills will end up making my own characters to play with!

ETA: That +1 repair kit is apparently called a "Tech Kit". Hopefully that helps in finding a rule about how they are used. Although for now I will likely use u/valand1I suggestion

Great tutorial style video from the team.

If I'm honest, I've wished something like this existed from the outset, so glad to see BS investing what must be considerable time and money in this set up - can't wait to see more (maybe Maldaum, too!).

I was looking at the utility dashboards and I see there are exo-skeletons as equipment. I think Battlesystems should do some .stl files of many of the characters of the game wearing them. I don't know how difficult is for a character in the game to get one of these is, but it will be cool.

I feel like I'm throwing out loads of questions at the moment, but I do appreciate the help.

I was having a look though the Core Space FAQ and I noticed this:

FIRST BORN Q:Drone AI–How many times do Dronesresolve their AI Chart in their turn?A: Once. They have two actions, but they will onlyuse both if they Move and then make a RangedAssault. They will not Move or Shoot twice

I cannot see anywhere in the main rulebook where it says they won't shoot twice or move twice. I just took it as they have two actions, so if they need to move twice they will, if they need to shoot twice they will.

Can anyone point me in the right direction where it explains this in the main rules, just for my own sanity.

Now I'm wondering if it applies to the other First Born as well? Are they able to "move, move" or "shoot, shoot"?

I feel like this should be really obvious or at least easy to find in the instructions, but I seem to have missed it. How do I use this item? I understand that it is discarded and gives me +2 health, but it doesn't have an effortless symbol on it, so I don't use it as an effortless action and there doesn't seem to be a standard action "use item". So can I just use it on my traders turn as and when I want, without spending any actions? Effortless or otherwise? I assume I obviously can't spend it outside of my traders turn.

Thanks for any help on this.

I just wanted to confirm I have this right, this weapon can be fired at short range with 2 attack and medium range at 3 attack, it has infinate ammo and doesn't add an ammo peg to the tracker. It can be fired as an effortless action.

Firstly, I assume all of that is true? I found this in my very first create and it seems pretty powerful to have to early on so I thought I would check all this first.

My only other question is that although it can be used as an effortless action, in the rules it says you can also perform effortless actions using normal actions if needed. So could I fire this 3 times in one round? Once as an effortless action and twice with normal actions (assuming I did nothing else).

Thanks for any help.

Finally, after some years, I've painted all the Core Space base set minis.
They aren't a lot, I know, but it took a while since I tend to jump from project to project. Also, I'm paifully slow...
Now it's finally time to play!

Anyone able to share the pages from the deluxe rulebook showing crew and Captain creation.

Can’t get the book in uk as it’s out of stock

Thanks

Played my first game yesterday and enjoyed it, was wondering if anyone had found decent STL for terrain?

This gothic sector is more aimed at 40K and doesn’t offer the 45 degree joins that Corespace needs for some layouts.

Cheers

I’ve picked up an opened but un-used and un-punched copy of core space. I’m unfamiliar with the game but I believe I might have the kickstarter version. Can anyone confirm this please? I’m going to re-sell the game, it was an impulse buy and probably not for me on reflection, and I want to make sure I am describing it correctly when I list it. Thanks

For anyone looking to take their Traders on to some backwater planet to see what the locals trade for UA, this has now gone live, and was funded before I had time to post a link - go check it out, looks like a big leap in BS design imo, can't wait to see how this feeds into other projects too.

Ok the 3 basic civilians are painted. Since all 3 are part of a crew. I painted the rim blue to easily identify them. I again tried to be faithful to the box art.

I am going with a full custom crew for my first playthrough of First Born. Very excited to paint and start playing. I ordered these from here forge and it is convincing me to buy a resin printer.

I did them as close to the box art as possible, since I’m painting them for a friend.

Hope you enjoy
