Introducing Hyperdrive Fleet

Hey everyone! 

I mentioned it in the Discord once or twice but it's finally happened - I'm making spaceships. 🚀

This week I'm excited to announce we're launching Hyperdrive Fleet! A collaboration between myself and other creators such as Czepeku, Ryan from Token Vault, DC from Scribbles in Space & Remi (a fantastic Map animator).

If you’re interested already you can sign up to be a patron here. We've created two promo tiers at 30% and 40% off for life, but they're limited to 150 patrons each!

We’ll be focusing on vehicles. After all, the coolest stuff in sci-fi is the vehicles. Sleek star racers, fierce imperial battlecruisers, chunky transport mechs, automated research drones, and more!

Hyperdrive Fleet exists to design the perfect ship for your party. Whether that’s a deep space explorer to see what’s out there on the edge of the universe or a dogfighter that you can pilot into the trenches of a giant alien warship.

So whether you’re travelling on world or off world we’re going to have the vessel in our fleet to get you there!

All the files will be packaged neatly, using the same grid sizes and resolutions, there's a simple tier structure with master posts in the same way I have here and soon we’ll have a website and a map ledger so that everything is as easy to find as possible. And most importantly amazing level of quality and tons of variations. :D

Along with the usual variations we make we’ll also be releasing extras that can be used as handouts, such as schematics and monitor logs, so that way when you’re at the stardust garage you can offer your players a real selection of ship blueprints. Or show them what’s bleeping on the radar when the warning klaxons are blaring and lasers are flying by your windows.

Sci-fi is a hugely popular genre in books, films and tv but hasn’t yet reached the same level of popularity in RPGs. Especially when it comes to maps, it's never gotten the love it deserves. With Hyperdrive Fleet we hope that we can help you start a new sci-fi campaign and bridge that gap, whether that’s using Fifth Edition (like Dark Matter) or one of the many other sci-fi RPG systems out there. 

Thanks to Ryan who's on the team Hyperdrive Fleet will be making VTT modules for Foundry and EncounterPlus. We’ll also be using Moulinette to make importing them to Foundry even easier.

And every ship is going to be animated by Remi. Expect burning thrusters, flashing warning lights, flickering consoles, glowing engines, parallaxing stars, spinning space debris, dangerous asteroid fields and more!

Please visit Hyperdrive Fleet! And of course let us know in the comments if you have any specific requests for the types of ships you’d like us to make!
