Space Base (Scripted with Expansions)

Description
Description
In Space Base, players assume the roles of Commodores of a small fleet of ships. Ships begin docked at their stations and are then deployed to sectors as new ships are commissioned under your command. Use cargo vessels to engage in trade and commerce; mining vessels to build reoccurring base income; and carriers to spread your influence. Establish new colonies for a new Commodore in a sector to gain even more influence. Gain enough influence and you can be promoted to Admiral!

Space Base is a quick-to-learn, quick-to-play dice game using the core "I roll, everyone gets stuff" mechanism seen in other games. It's also a strategic engine builder using a player board (your space base) and tableaus of ship cards you can buy and add to your board. The cards you buy and the order you buy them in have interesting implications on your engine beyond just the ability on the card you buy, making for a different type of engine construction than seen in similar games. Players can take their engine in a number of directions: long odds and explosive gains, low luck and steady income, big end-game combos to launch from last to first, or a mix-and-match approach. Ultimately, Space Base is a game you can just start playing and teach everyone how to play in the first round or two and has a satisfying blend of dice-chucking luck and challenging strategic choices.

You can purchase the physical board game and the expansions from the Alderac Entertainment store:

Story cards are not included as they contain spoilers. I highly encourage those who want to experience the story to purchase those expansions and play them.

@KazNaka thanks for the catch! The glitch has been corrected.

Nice job with this mod. I think ti's the best one out there currently. One small glitch I found: adding or subtracting to the number 10. It tracks the number correctly in the chat, but it doesn't move the cube to the 10 column (instead it goes to 9).

@Swarleymon Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the game to move cubes from station sectors to the deployed side if there are deployed spots for them.

Hello, thank you for this amazing work! I just learned this game and my friends and I are loving using this! Just to point out one small thing if you're still working on it is that when a ship gets deployed with a charge cube on it, the cube stays in its place and doesn't move up with the card to its new spot. At least this happens when auto-deploy is used. Just a small thing, but seriously thank you for this!

@KaraKiwi Thanks for letting me know! The mod has been updated. Let me know if you still have issues.

There's a crash in loading games without the Terra Proxima expansion, since it assumes there will be the 13th sector cards as well as the fourth deck of sector cards. I fixed it locally for myself (by adding a check in onLoad in both Global and SectorDeck1 that the objects it finds are non-nil before trying to create the deploy/restock buttons) but I figured I'd let you know as well so you can fix it for everyone.
