Star Trek Catan Interstellar-farers Expansion conversion

Ever wanted to play a seafarers version of Star Trek Catan? This is the page for you :)

Instruction steps and details below.

1. First of all you will need more tiles. I found it convenient to order on eBay another set of tiles and borders. Alternatively you can print a whole bunch of black hex tiles and paste printed photos of the planets. 

2. Print hex tiles in black. Even if you order a second set of tiles from stock Star Trek Catan game you will need to print at least seven more tiles for empty space plus one for the extra asteroids. 

3. Two 3Dprinted hex tiles for two Earth planets (which are the traditional Catan Gold tiles) which can give you resource choice as per Catan Seafarers rules. I had some fun and gave this Earth gold-press latinium rings for flair. A model you can print in gold color is also provided.

4. Print the provide model of two special corner-end pieces, I decorated them with comet graphics. 

5. Edge extensions, I have six pictured which I custom cut for the extra set of border pieces. Alternatively you can 3Dprint the provided single extension edge model. 

6. For the trading stations you can you use my starbase model link here: 

7. I repurposed the Stock ships to function as Deep Space starships traversing empty space. For the equivalent of Catan Roads, the following Planetary Starship model can be used: 

8. You need a pirate for the empty space, you have flexibility here to choose your favorite alien race ship, I decided to use a TOS romulan bird of prey: 

9. Also handy is an optional Card holder, link to one pictured here  Catan Card Tray/Holder Snapable & Stackable by Popsicle_peon - Thingiverse
