Hey everyone!

We're currently working on more series/collections of ships! What kind of ships would be most useful for your games?

Larger ships would be nice. Crews of 20-50.

In general, larger maps or with smaller maps with multiple layers are the most helpful, regardless of setting. In ships, this might appear as multiple decks, and on land, as an area with buildings with interiors. Encounter maps are useful to some extent, and your art is lovely, but if they are small without additional decks or explorable interiors, they feel somewhat flat, and require a lot of buildup to get the party to that location, without a commensurately large payoff. In a large, space-faring universe, it seems strange that so many vessels are essentially studio apartments, rather than larger colony ships, government battleships, corporate mega-yachts, colossal space stations, etc. (I'm aware you have a space station map, and it's lovely. These are just example tropes.) For instance, you make wonderful boss fight maps, but how did the party get to that one room? What else is happening in that base, or ancient temple, or battleship? Where do those doors lead? Just some thoughts. Sorry about the long block of text - my return key is not working.
