Tom’s Spaceship Games List
Here’s an amazing list of hundreds of spaceship games. Compiled by Tom Granvold, it includes board, miniatures, dice, card and role playing games. If you like such things, check out it out.
Task Force Zeta Starship Rules
Task Force Zeta is a set of free wargames rules for starship combat.
Pundits will tell you that representing space combat in 3 dimensions is a wasted exercise in mathematics, and that two ships fighting can be equally well represented on a 2-dimensional plane. What happens when you have three ships? ten? Did their captains all just conveniently forget about attacking/defending from the z axis?
Task Force Zeta allows you to fight battles against opponents in a representation of real (3-D) space using vector movement – without doing complex math every time you move or fire. Fourteen different ship classes are provided, along with fighters and bases, as well as basic rules for ship construction – design your own factions or convert ships from your favorite movies/TV shows!
The Stars Our Decimation: Voidstriker
The Stars Our Decimation: Voidstriker is a set of fleet oriented starship combat rules. They can be used as a board game, and with miniatures and hexless play.
Earth Expects Space Combat Rules
Earth Expects is a set of free wargames rules for space combat. The authors write:
Earth Expects is a highly detailed set of tactical space combat rules which emphasise skill over firepower. It is well suited to playing battles from duels to squadron actions; because of the high level of detail large fleet battles can be slow to play and therefore optional rules are provided to speed play in these games.
