Oh come on it's all Fantasy. It has got nothing to do with space except for the fact that it takes place in that setting. ;) Bring it on!

The mines chained to the asteroids is actually BFG "canon"... It's exactly what the minefield image shows on pg 143 of the digital rulebook. IIRC the premise is that they "detach" when an enemy ship is detected and the mines drift off to attack it.

Still silly? Of course.

Still awesome? Yes.

Ah. I am sadly not that into the BFG-part of it all. But I agree - silly and awesome ;D

It does look good but it also looks like a straight port of the tabletop version which is a shame. By that I mean short weapon ranges and, maybe more surprisingly, it looks like the ships operate at the same altitude?

That said, I will definitely be checking it out!
