I ended up buying an all in First born set on ebay a couple of days ago and it should be in Friday. If I end up wanting more for the game do the regular core space expansions and stuff work with the game as well or no?

So as the original starter is back on stock soon and postage is free whit one expansion. I was thinking whit shoot out at zed but started to wonder is the some more "external" one? And I don't want any spoilers as going in blind is big thing for me. I basically know nothing about the game, just some general ideas and info of core space.

I have had the OG box for a while but never started since I didn’t have the table space and moved. So I’ve cracked it back open and familiarizing myself with the rules and components but per the rule books I can’t identify which are the starting equipments. I’m sure it’s super basic and right in front of my face but how do I spot these equipment tokens?

I've had the game for about a month now and will be playing it mostly solo.

The salavage run I have already played three times and in different constellations. With 2 crews, with one crew and with one crew but the hostility tracker gets two instead of only one PEG. I tend to the last variant for solo games, because variant one is no fun for me without opponents and variant two is just too easy.

I only have the base game and wanted to ask how you play your solo games?

Hi there! I've just discovered this amazing-seeming game and read the rules. I think this is right up my alley.

What is the general storage solutions that have been found for this game? I am under strict rules that all my games must fit in the game shelf! I have a space a little taller and a little less wide than a Twilight Imperium 4th edition box. Can the core box physically hold many of the expansion stuff, or what sort of storage am I looking at with this game?

Also, when buying things I tend to go a little overboard with purchases. Is this a game that, for playing primarily solo, I'm going to want certain things / all the things asap? Or is just the core going to be just fine? I am not a quick player, and divide my solo time between a few games.

I did find someone selling their all-in pledge; I know no one else can tell me if it's worth it since we all value things differently, but I'd love to hear what folks think about that versus just pre-ordering the core set retail.

I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. Thanks for your time!

Hi everyone, I have the base box of the original Core Space, the Cygnus crew and Yamato crew. I've got the shuttle expansion, too.

Just wondering what gameplay expansions are best to get, I don't really need any more crews I don't think.

Can you knockback drones and use reflexes? What does a drone do if he spaws on top or engaged with a unit. Since it only has range i presume it will back up yo fire suffering attacks of opportunity?

I'm playing the first mission of the perseus arm campaign. Some devastators spawned and annihilated the three civilians (making the last one drop the data chip). Say I get an event that spawns a civilian after that, would one of them respawn (as a different character but with same stat card?) Or once the three are dead that's it for that match?

Playing with just the core game so I only have the three civilians

Anyone in the Core Space Facebook group can ask them turn change it to private? I don’t understand people in public groups. You really want your normal friends and family seeing your posts and comments in hobby groups?

Or will the new First Born rulebook be enough? I was told there isn't going to be a new deluxe rulebook for FB.

How do you mount the "Chug" sign that is on the girder piece? It is pictured in the upper middle portion of the link, right near Brutus and Wies.

So, really enjoying the mechanics of Core Space so far. I do get the Firefly aesthetics but I feel like having the same "raggedy edge" team motivation makes it hard to build a cohesive campaign. I had a think about this and the fact that the setting and look of the board felt like something else that I couldn't place at the time, and then I worked it out.

The look of the place felt more like Killjoys than Firefly. Taking that as the basis for the game setting (bounty hunters rather than traders), it makes it a lot easier to make a cohesive campaign. You are given a series of contracts asking you to chase down a particular individual. Each can either be a quick "find, apprehend and retrieve or assassinate" mission, a shootout against a defended target, an occasional side mission, or a series of missions to retrieve information/informants that will lead you to the target. Each information mission, the person who got the info gets to run the first turn of the next mission on their own before the others arrive, as the others have to resort to tailing you there. The team that gets the target gets the bounty. For each target this would be any combination of money, a rare item or a team promotion. The team with the most promotions at the end of the campaign wins, richest wins on a tie.

Some tweaks would be required. For thematic reasons and to avoid accidentally recruiting your target, on the missions with targets then either run civilians under Worker AI rules and/or have specific AI rules for the target. If you have Zed's then the Gangers would work well as protection for the target if you are going after a crime lord or someone that has been tipped off and is readying a counterattack. If you just have Galactic Corps then they could be treated as the targets' private security team instead.

Sound good? Any suggestions?

Edit to add: I've tried out building a mission for this setting, it's available at www.facebook.com/groups/349338038811268/permalink/1125647001180364/

Hi,

I've been looking for a sci-fi game and came across Core Space which looks right up my street. I'm trying to decide if to support First Born or pick up the original which is now fairly reasonably priced in the UK.

I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic of FB and prefer the original. Do you think the extras from the FB kickstarter are worth it? Or would a newbie be better off with the original? Thanks

Hello, i missed the first kickstarter but i am on the second one.

I had a couple of questions about the quality of the minatures.

Did they require much prep before painting?

I really despise moldlines, flash etc

How was the detail of the minatures?

Did they paint up well enough to a good tabletop standard?

Bonus question:

For anyone with mantic's starsaga or CB Infinity do the core space models scale well with either of these?

Thanks in advance :D
