I'm that type of player that tend to forget things when I play (as all people do), and try to optimize things once in a while.
So... Do anyone know where to get status and critical hit tokens for Battlefleet Gothic? I mean small tokens that says "Crippled", "Fire", "Bridge smashed" and so on, that I can put on my fleet sheet so I remember it? I got a 3d printer, so I'm all in for printing those things (I just dont know how to design things...)

I still use the original fleet registry sheets, and for example, to remember if my ships are reloaded or not I put on a torpedo marker in the "Notes" section, if they are reloaded... I was thinking doing the same with status tokens.

Check out Litko's web site, (litko.net)
they can make custom markers/tokens

the page is a little hard for me to navigate
other guys I know have no problem

I've used plenty of their stuff,
good product and good value (to me)

my preference in that kind of situation: blank tokens + non permanent pen.

I used to use the cardboard tokens from the 2nd ed 40K and original Necromunda starter sets. Not perfect for BFG, but they did the job.

We wrote down damage on our rosters too, but we put the counters next to the actual ships on the table so that each player could see at a glance which friendly and enemy ships were damaged.

Examples:

Flamed = fire
Broken = critical damage of any sort
Out of Control = critical damage affecting movement
Jam or Recharge = out of torpedoes
Fire flipped to its blank red underside = crippled
Another one with a blank blue underside = shield generator destroyed (the most dreaded of all counters)
Wound counters (numbered 1-3) = lost hull points
Wound counters flipped to the skull side = drifting hulk
Skull counter plus flamed counter = blazing hulk

Also, we used the translucent green plastic skull counters from 5th ed 40K to mark out the gravity wells around planets and moons. Anything else would work just as well, as long as it's small--we just used the skulls because they looked cool, like an overlay on a ship's navigation screen. Stick a few down with blu-tack in a circle around the planet, and it becomes easy to tell when your ships are in high orbit, and to plan out your moves.

Thanks a lot for the answers.
Not sure what to do yet, but sounds like it will end up with a pen and some paper

Unfortunately I dont have any of the old necromunda or 40k markers anymore... but I am sure with time I will find something!

Download 3D Builder. It’s free software. You can use it to make little circles or rectangles and then use the “Emboss” tool to add any text you like and save as a printable STL. It will take you less time than searching the internet for tokens that could be repurposed.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
