Dropfleet Commander Kickstarter Ending Today
December 3, 2015 by brennon
Hawk Wargames' Dropfleet Commander Kickstarter is ending today having smashed through all manner of stretch goals! Don't forget that we've also been showing off a lot of the mechanics behind the game in our videos like the one above. You can find more of them at our Dropfleet Commander section of the website HERE too...
The main set for Dropfleet Commander will feature the fleets from both the UCM and Scourge which you can see below. Each of the ships will come with those intricate dials underneath them as bases which enable you to keep track of all of the details during your games.
While this might be the very core of the game you can go on over to their Kickstarter and see what else is going to be available with your pledge. For those of you who don't know about Dropfleet Commander it is an orbital space battle game where you control fleets of ships trying to take control of the planet surface below whilst also fighting each other.

- Dropfleet Weekend Part One: Fleet Manoeuvres
- Dropfleet Weekend Part Two: Weapons Free!
- Dropfleet Weekend Part Three: Orbital Assaults
- Dropfleet Commander: Shaltari Mechanics
- Dropfleet Commander: Shaltari Shooting
- Dropfleet Commander: PHR Vs UCM Weapons Demo
Each of the fleets has a different style to them and thankfully we've seen the funding level raise high enough to add another fleet to the tabletop in the Shaltari. The PHR are also around the corner but we don't have a full fleet for them yet!
All manner of different Add-Ons or Bolt-Ons are also available for the game now including additional maps to play across, terrain in the form of modular space stations, and even a big 2-Up version of one of the UCM ships, the Beijing Class Battleship.
If you want to check out what has already been unlocked by the campaign in list form then see below...
...as you can see they have smashed through quite a lot of different upgrades and such for your pledges. Justin and John from our team have joined in on this Kickstarter and should be getting themselves some hefty Starter Fleets and a few optional extras.
Hopefully we'll be able to crack them out on a future Weekender or Unboxing episode.

its crazy how the KS is exploding in the end! I guess I will focus the second half of 2016 only on DFC! space games are one of my favourite since I played the first wing commander and BFG.
im liking the depth of this game, its looking good and will be interesting to see the finished results.
Man, I wish I could make my mind up about this game. The mechanics look fun, but just as there is only one force in DZC that I like aesthetically (PHR), I only like one faction in DFC (UCM). I was really hoping I’d like the PHR but the whole phallic space fish thing isn’t doing it for me lol.
Maybe I’ll just pledge for a single starter. Hm..
A second kickstarter campaign exclusive 2-up model in the way of a PHR Ajax Class Cruiser now available as a bolton 🙂
BoW, don´t forget to do a Bootcamp of this game… ^^
Looking good I wonder will @johnlyons be going in for the 2up of the PHR Ajax?
Strike Carriers Warren, Strike Carriers xD They are not as impressive as the Cruisers (as they should be!) but is an amazing sculp nevertheless. Can I just have one, pretty please?
Man, I’m so into Droplet that I almost watched again the firs video of the serie xD
As always, Kudos to the amazing Beast of War crew, and specially to Warren and of course to Simon, for showing us those unbelievable miniatures and the beta rules for the game 😀
I love the PHR ships. Paint gloss black with some acid green highlights. I’m thinking Aliens themed here.
really thrilled about this kickstarter
Great Great CANT WAIT till they come to the door and say
there all yours…
Nice to see Hawk trying to run a proper Kickstarter instead of a preorder shop!
I can’t wait to get my filthy mitts on my pledge, Oh and BOW @Warzan there’d better be a bootcamp for this game ( I would prefer april may next year)
