Standard Card Ship Control Panel


Here is a Rendered shot of my standard card ship control panel. This panel will hold your Speed Dial, Command Dials, Standard Ship Card, Ship ID #, 4 Defense Tokens and 3 Command Tokens in the vertical slots between the defense tokens. This panel is available in many colors on Shapeways.
*Note: This control panel was not designed with card protectors in mind*

My 1st attempt at creating this sort of panel was simply just to big which meant a big price tag to print. It had a lot of the same features found in this one with exception to the ability to nest up to 4 up-grade cars into the base to help keep them from moving around to much. But it was an $35 plus print so I dropped the design for this more compact lay out.

The 4 Defense Token spots have an opening on the left side to help flip those tokens when used. These tokens will ultimately rest on top of your standard ship card. There is also a small amount of over lap, roughly 1mm, to help keep your card in place.

The Ship ID # Token also features an finger groove at the top to help remove those ID numbers. If this spot is not in use, it should be big enough to hold 1 command token.

Important: For those players that have Alternative art Ship Cards. You still can use this control panel with these cards. Because they are displayed landscape style you will of coarse have to turn this on its side to use. In doing so, the Ship ID # area is going to seem out of place because it would be on its side. If you can't live with this option, I do have an Alternative Card Ship Control Panel already designed. The down side is the Alternative Control Panel is to big to offer it in all the colors so your options are either Black or White.
