Hawk Tell Us What’s Inside The Dropfleet Starter Box
October 20, 2015 by brennon
Hawk Wargames have given us a little of their thinking behind the contents of their Dropfleet Commander Starter Box which will be available through the Kickstarter. Here's what they're saying could well be the contents of the UCM and Scourge based Two Player Starter Set...
Contents
- The Full Dropfleet Commander Rulebook, and Fast Play Sheets,
- UCM and Scourge Frigate and Cruiser Sprues, (with construction guides),
- Innovative Dropfleet Commander flight stands,
- Double sided fold out map,
- City markers,
- Token sheet,
- Tapemeasure and Dice
There will also be single fleet choices for both the Scourge and UCM alongside the new Rulebook for the game. The Shaltari are also primed to be an upcoming stretch goal in the campaign and they hope to bring us a plastic fleet to match up against the UCM and Scourge.
Rules-wise the Shaltari will have lower signatures than other ships, making them harder to hit, and when they are struck at they will have the ability to 'Raise Shields' but this makes them a rather bright target on the tabletop for other ships.
What do you think?

……..NEED TO WORK OVERTIME!* calls work*
“Boss, I need to buy more toys…And their for me!”
“You’re fired.” 🙂
If that’s your boss, then you need a new job! There’s no room for that kind of negativity in the workplace!
A smarter boss would see the opportunity for proper workplace motivation of their staff… ‘I know you have already worked a full shift and three hours overtime today rollsk1, and you are fully entitled to go home now if you want… but I do have this urgent order I need to get out pronto, and I really do with some more overtime from you…’ ‘On a completely unrelated note, have you seen these awesome new Dropfleet models that are coming out soon? I bet you would love some of those, but how are you going to afford it…?’ ‘What’s that?… Read more »
That looks amazing.
Last kickstarter for the year, I swear!
I guess I need another tape measure.
This is the Space fleet battle game I have been looking for 🙂
Shiny new toys, after listening to Hawk Dave talk about it for an hour or two -l am 200% sold on it
I think these are the nicest looking ships I’ve seen…just wish they did a 28mm scale game.
Just seen that 30mm scale walker on their site…wow!
It’s a fantastic kit as well. I really ought to get some paint on mine.
yes certainly be buying into this
WOW! Those UCM ships are AWESOME!
This is so tempting. First the cool Star Wars trailer, and now these badass ships!
I’m so happy I need a sedative…
the ships look brilliant.
Those are the prettiest spaceship models I have ever seen. I would say I will try to resist, but I need them – it’s that simple.
Sorry wallet old buddy, but sometimes a war gamer’s gotta do what a war gamer’s gotta do…
Certainly would like to know how many ships and at what price in the starters though.
Yeah already have end date of DEC 2nd scheduled to make sure there is enough money in my account before it gets charged
Amazing stuff and the rules we’ve been told about so far sound awesome. I’m a Shaltari player but own all five armies.
Now I’m going to own all five fleets …
SO EXCITED!! WANT MINE MINE MINE!!!
I just want to paint some of those ships to have on a shelf, they are awesome!!
