ok, we have all seen Gale Force 9's battlefield in a box asteroids and turrets.
this is something I would like to see come directly from FFG with the X-Wing title.
X-wing Battlefield in a box set 1:
Storage containers (each container has a base, RED=0 Green=0 Hull=3, if destroyed flip over a card from the container deck to see what the contents are. some will explode others wont)
Mines (function just like proximity mines but have a 3D miniature)
cardboard cut outs of ISD and Mon Cal cruisers to put in your deployment zones. these ships are of in the distance and can have different effects on the battle, such as:
in the end phase the ship may make a single ion cannon attack against 1 enemy ship using 4 attack dice. the target gets +2 defense dice. if the shot hits, it will suffer 2 ion tokens and all ships at range 1 of the target will take 1 ion hit.
in the end phase the ship may make a turbo laser shot at 1 enemy ship using 4 attack dice. count all hits as critical hits. the target receives +2 defense dice. if hit all ships within range 1 of target ship suffer 1 hit.
alternatively, you can either allow the ship a limited number of shots of each type, or limit them by not allowing them to shoot at any target with a friendly ship within 1 of the target ship.
just some examples.
you could even do the same thing with a planet cutout:
if there is a planet cut out on the battlefield, then all white turns become red turns and all green turns become white turns. banks and straight maneuvers are unaffected.
