Hey all, had a bit of a random thought occur to me today that I wanted to toss up for discussion. Would there be any interest in developing a Wing Commander table top game? Sort of like X-wing the Miniatures game, but for Wing Commander. There are a plethora of 3D modelers here who have made tons of models. Just a casual search on Shape ways found:
F-107 Lance "Dragon" Fighter
Shrike Bomber
Longbow Bomber
Strakha Cloaking Fighter
Devastator Heavy Bomber
F-66 Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter
Pakhtan Bomber
Voktoth
Now to be clear I am not suggesting making something to produced and sold, even attempting to undertake something like that is beyond my skill set, but at the same time I'm not ruling the idea out either. With Mini-games growing the way they have been there might actually be a market for a Wing Commander specific table top game.
But the point of my random thought was about something along the lines of taking X-wing, or Warhammer aeronautica imperialis, or some other game and putting together A- an alt-world set of rules and B- a catalog of locations and options for getting the fighter craft.
So... thoughts? Interest? Feed back? Like I said, this is just a random idea I had so pretty sure it needs some development and there will be other questions to discuss.
