So in my first couple of games, one thing I didn't like was the way the ship cards fit in the ship mat. I wish they fit a bit better as we had to move the mats around a bit and they aren't convenient for doing that. Plus, I wanted a template that would allow me to create my own ships - so I've embarked on creating my own ship mats. I'm actually thinking of printing them out and either laminating them for easy dry erase use, or alternatively, putting a thin sheet of magnet behind them and then magnetizing some of the counters so they stick on top of them. Haven't decided yet, but thought I'd at least share my mats in their current state.

Everything is done in layers in Photoshop so I can play with certain design elements, and I'm still tweaking it to get what I consider a final production level product.
