    Here are two more modules, a hallway modeled after the "Life Support" module in Battlestations:

    I never thought of multi-level bases, but once it was suggested I knew I would need some way to get from one level to the next. I am currently re-doing the basic frame for the modular bases to incorporate a couple of stairwells (for roof and "undercarriage" access if there is only one level).

    I've made a breakthrough with the big guns (thanks for the idea Hoel). I'm working on putting together a Turbolaser module and a Golan laser cannon module. Both guns are pretty big and will take up almost half their respective modules. With a gun that big, you'll need a power supply, so I'm also going to put together a Power Generator module. I'll post those when I have them. I'm glad that someone besides my group is interested in these. As always, I am open to questions, criticisms, comments, or bad jokes.

    Nice job!
    I'm really getting some motivation to get my stormtrooper campaign up and running now

    I've been busy recently and haven't had much time to work on modules. Here's a vehicle bay for the modular base.

    Obviously this module needs an outside wall for the vehicles to enter/exit by. I have provided a ramp for the smaller doorways, so here is one for the vehicle doorway.

    Yeah, the whole thing looks great.

    I've been busy GMing a SWRPG campaign (in which I've been able to use several of the maps I've posted on this site). The modular base has fallen by the wayside (the group left that location and probably won't go back there). However, I like these modules because they are easy to drop into place and make a quick setting. Here are two new modules - a laser cannon platform and a starfighter bay.

    The Laser Cannon module:

    I'm not sure which version I like better. The first seems to be missing a certain "the gun is on top of the module" effect. However, the second uses a lot of the modules space with the "outside hull" showing.

    This one was a bit of fun to do. I wanted to have the weapon mounted on top of the module so that the module would not have to be open to the elements. Instead of putting all the support equipment in the module, I just showed the weapon on top. The bottom right corner is supposed to be a holoprojector with three stormtroopers on it - they can either be stormtroopers attacking the module's occupants or on the same team.

    By the way - if anyone has a good top-down image of a turbolaser battery, please let me know. I would like to redo this module with a turbolaser battery from Star Wars.

    The Starfighter Bay module:

    I don't know which one will come more in handy (I guess it depends on which starfighter the players get), so I made one with an X-Wing and one with a TIE fighter.

    Just in case someone out there would like to insert their own starfighter into this module:

    I apologize for not updating this thread regularly. It is my intention to produce a couple of modules each month and post them. [I need the modules for gameplay, and the feedback is always helpful.] As usual, any comments or criticisms are welcome.
