A question that I have and so do my buddies who play is what is the number of debris/space junk/asteroids do you place down on the play mats for epic.

as many as the scenario you're playing instructs you to. they are listed in the epic rules reference. the list looks like this:

EPIC BATTLES RULEBOOK
• Epic Escalation (2–8 Players, Free-for-All), p. 17
• Fog of War (2–6 Players, Free-for-All), p. 18
• Aces High (2–8 Players, Free-for-All), p. 19
• Atmospheric Entry (2 Players, Head-to-Head), , p. 20
• Passing Engagement (2 Players, Head-to-Head), p. 21
• Key Cargo Retrieval (3 Players, Head-to-Head), p. 22
• Cover the Evacuation (2–6 Players, Team Battle), p. 23
• Intel Pickup (2–4 Players, Free-for-All or Head-to-Head), p. 24
• Strategic Salvo (2–6 Players, Team Battle), p. 25
• All Wings Report In (3–5 Players, Team Battle), p. 26
• Fortified Position (3 Players, Team Battle), p. 27

as of right now, the epic battles rulebook has not been published, which is why nobody knows. sorry. you'll need to wait.

you can find the epic rules reference here:

For 3' x 3': 6 (as usual)

For 6' x 3': 12

Okay Thanks for the replies as we did go through the rule book that came with the capital ships but must have missed where it said how many debris were to be on the map.

Well huge ships and epic are now separate things. The Epic Battles Multiplayer Expansion is mostly Wings of small ships and scenarios. Huge ships are not required to play epic. In fact, Huge ships are no longer separated out and confined to only epic like they were in 1.0 but are now allowed to be used in any game mode (except Hyperspace).

Double checked the points pdf. They aren't legal for Extended format either (Header of the right most column), though Hyperspace and Extended are the names of the tournament formats, 200v200 is just "standard" play outside of those.

You didnt miss it. As far as i can tell, its not officially stated anywhere that 12 is the max for 6x3. But in the scenarios in the multiplayer expansion, the most they ever state for a 6x3 area is 12, so im guessing that is there @Singulativ is getting those numbers.

Tho it does seem like a fairly sensible number to work with. Realistically, huge ships are not a tournament legal ship and not legal for standard or hyperspace game modes. Which leaves it in the area of Custom (or variant), meaning... pick however many obstacles you want to use and go with it.

Yes, my source were the Epic Scenarios. I guess some of the coming battlefields cards might call for more obstacles but apparently the huge ships do not influence the intended number of 6 for each 3‘ x 3‘ of map
