In a few topics I have come across with the work of people making their own pilot cards for ships from shapeways and maybe a few upgrade cards as well. Could someone help me design some of these? Perhaps a tutorial or maybe even a commission job??

No one? :\

Go to A Few Manuevers or Board Game Geek - they both have templates posted. Then you just plug in the values

Nothing for upgrade cards other than template, the generation tool for ship pilots is awesome too bad there is nothing yet for upgrade cards

I played around with it a little bit, but mostly for laughs.

I'm hoping to put a full Top Gun set together (including dials and base tokens) and then get some F-14 minis somewhere.

Trumpeter do a range of 1/350th scale aircraft to supplement their aircraft carrier kits. These are available from most good online model shops.

This is absolutely STELLAR!!! Seriously funny stuff.

I hope for Iceman's topless beach volleyball card. When receiving a stress token, increase body sheen by +1

How will he capture the homoerotic feel of the film though?

My idea for a custom crew member card would be...

Ewok Marines

(Rebel Only)

Action: You may discard this card to remove one enemy crew member of your choice at Range One. Then receive one stress token.

I wanted to make it something fun but at least make it a little balanced. Eventually there would be a neutral or Imperial version. Maybe a bounty hunter crew member.

Fixed.

Upgrade card: If Kenny Loggins' Highway to the Dangerzone or Playing with the Boys is played, all players must embrace .. vigorously.

Thanks for the info, I was having a hard time finding something like that and those should do perfectly.

wow! Great job. You even have the font and everything correct. Do you think you could help me with some cards?? I can provide you the wording and pictures?

I got the template from here, all praise the Gecko. But sure, send me a PM if you don't have Photoshop.

I really like the idea of playing Topgun using X-Wing, I think it could work well. You could get away with not using 3D altitude by having F14's and A4 "Aggressors" flying at low altitude around a playing area dotted with some rocky mesas, trying to get behind each other at short range to get a decent target lock on. Maybe use a very narrow frontal arc to increase difficulty. That Goose card would be very handy!
