Elite Chess

have one idea

Sidy - pawn
Corvette -rook
FDL - horse
cutter - elefant
Anakonda - queen
T-9 - King

You can make this like bobbleheads

elefant???? Anakonda??? elephant and anaconda perhaps? :D

And if we are talking chess, I believe the proper term is bishop.... never heard of Elephant before, and Knight is what the horse shaped piece is. :D

I wish I still did glass blowing. Because making each ship I don't think would be too hard. I would have to use Solid rods and a ship cast. But I think it would be pretty easy. The Board could be a Mirror engraved with Mirrored as Black and engraved spots part as white.
 
I'm pretty sure he meant to gather a bunch of players in their respective ships and play actual, ship-sized chess.

BY RAMMING EACH OTHER.

Somebody make this happen, NOW.
 
Greetings,

I don't see Elite Dangerous and chess ever working out. ED won't provide a Queen to take out other ships. But PM me if you want a game. I'm pretty rusty playing Texas Hold 'Em the last few years. Still I have a very expensive chess set in my man cave awaiting an opponent.

Regards
 
Sorry, but I just can't agree with that: cutter, that can rush forward but can't turn should be the rook :D
Only knights can turn mid move anyway so it doesn't really matter...
They could do a Feds vs Imps one though...
Pawns = Eagles/iEagles
Rook = Coriolis/Orbis
Knight = F*S/Clipper
Bishop = DBS/iCourier
Queen = Corvette/Cutter
King = Farragut/Majestic

Or some variation thereof
 
Oh, I thought a physical chess table with small models of the ship as pieces. A digital one... well... why not mod any chess game to have them as pieces and problem solved?

Maybe you could make a digital chess skin, not sure if you could use it in chess.com, last time I changed my skin there was just a list of available skins
