Hi all, been thinking about what could be updated for the next mod.
The first thing i want to fix is putting numbers on the fighters counters.

I was also thinking of having an accessible properites on critical counters, so u could log the Turn it occurred. I know that not everybody uses the crit counters prefering to use the ship properties sheet to log the details. But it will be useful for people that do.
I would like to include a 18" measurement ruler counter, to aid in the movement of fighters. Just put the ruler counter on the board when moving fighters to help judge the distance.
I'd like to include a new second arc template, to aid in judging turning. The current arc template for explosions is 12x12. And takes a few seconds to appear on some peoples computers. I want to make a 4x4 template too, it should appear instantly on all computers, it would be this shape *. So all the main turning arcs covered. Again i know not everybody will use it, but it would definitely speed up my turning as i have to continually zoom right in on each ship counter when turning to be accurate ( my eyes aren't great).
Inclusion of some fun stellar debris such as comets, pulsars etc is possible.
I'd also like to double the size of all space stations counters.
As u can see its mostly all cosmetic changes, which u don't have to use if u don't want to.
Any other bright ideas out there for the mod? :D

We still need a Starfury and Thunderbolt picture!! Have u a scanner and the counters?
And an Orange Jump point counter!
It would only take 1 minute to scan the counters!

couple of things i have picked up so far is theres no picture for the lakara, and the chronos didnt have AF on its particle beams. i have already edited my version so far. as soon as we can get some thunderbolts/starfurie pictures then i will add them and we may release the next version. but for now will leave as 7.1 so people can play with the new toys and find other faults.
 
ye pwas going to
is why i havent put v7.2 up yet. have already corrected faults i found, but will leave it a month for people to report anymore. so get playing guys and report faults to either myself or jay.
 
Any comments on increasing the size of all space stations counters x2?

PS: If you have a scanner and the official counters, i'd be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes to scan the Starfury and Thunderbolt counters and then email me them. Please go on!! :D
PSS: We need the Orange jump point counter too!
