Feedback Guidelines:
• Keep it clean and fun (PG-13)

• No flame wars: heated discussions are great, blasing someone in to oblivion is not needed.

• Must be valuable and insightful
o Good: “The rules on page 23 on movement where hard to follow, you might want to add additional examples.
o Bad: “The rule did not make any sense and hard to read, so fix them”

• Must be constructive criticism.
o Bad: Dude your game sucks.
o Good: “Dude your game flow was a bummer but to fix it I would look at improving turn order by maybe incorporating the following…..

• Provide a suggestion or ideas on how to improve, balance or fix the game.
o Bad: Game play was unbalanced, so improve it.
o Good: “The destroyer class ship was to powerful because the movement did not co-inside with other ships and cause a major unbalance, consider reducing the movement capabilities of this ship.

However the section on replenishing cards shortly after this says to 'draw' instead of 'select' making it sound like your opportunities are randomly drawn from a deck.

And on the next page, it reads "each SHIP you command has a hand of opportunities."

I'm getting some mixed messages there on how opportunities are meant to be played, if they are something that is willfully decided upon, or a luck of the draw type thing.

Also, the beginning of page 32 still mentions being able to play your opportunities until they are all used, but later talks about a phase where you draw new ones.

Is this area of the game still in flux? If so, I think it is nice giving players a choice. I feel letting them choose their opportunities would let them feel closer to the crew, like they had some decisions in the skills they've learned.]]> Page 32 talks about selecting opportunities for your task force, making it sound like you choose a number of opportunities equal you ships +2, "if you have three ships in your taskforce, you have 5 cards in your hand".

After selecting the cards you must assign each module into the ships as you suit. Each card must be assigned to a modular compartment by marking the suite or module name on the ship record sheet. You keep the cards you have selected as a reference point and to stop creative allocators, aka the cheats.

However this is a chance one can use their leadership ability to pull some strings and hope to get better equipment by using diplomacy and tack. The captain can use the Leadership skill to attempt to request a better module for the upcoming battle. To do so the captain must have a least a leadership skill level above a three to attempt acquisition a new module. The can make only one request per module slot.

To call in a favor the captain can make a request for a replace a module they have selected. Modules can be redrawn up to the favors allotted for the leadership skill level and a favor will only replace one module. You cannot call in favor on a module twice. If you call in a favor on a module and the new module select is not a good choice. You cannot call in another favor on that module again, since your favor did not pan out.

To call in a favor place or state the card you drew so all players can see it. Then draw another card secretly, you do not have to show the card. At this point you can keep the existing select module or the new one.]]>

Add +1 to Turn Rating for each increase in velocity by 2 above 16.

The Turn Rating increases at a rate of one for each velocity increase of two above 16. So if a ship is moving along at 21 the Turn Rating for that ship would be a whopping “6”.]]> 1 1-5

Warheads: Eggs in a basket. Don't unload on one target with warheads. They may have a trick up their sleeve waste your shots.

Shearing Weapons: Fires these first, then penetrating weapons dig deeper into the ship.

Mines: Drops mines then use a module to pull the enemy into the field.]]>

Sat down with a mate to play the game and explained the basic game concepts, and went though setup of picking modules, just took the pre-made opportunity selection instead of choosing them for now. Both players had a corvette and a scout of the same type, and we set up on a fairly small battlefield. Here is where captain Ice and captain Tea faced off against captain Beef and captain Cake. When we were drawing modules, I knew we drew extra equal to our leader rating, but I wasn't sure where that was pulled from, so I played the highest leader rating of one of our ships, for this exercise it was 2.

After a fair amount of time with setup, the game kicked off really quickly. The ships moved into tactical positions and started firing and taking damage the second round. I found this an great bonus, not a lot of down time, it got down and dirty fast, seeing blow-through damage the very next round, and the round after that getting to allocate damage to the next outer column.

This damaged the ships but they could still fight, so it was still fun to play with damaged ships. One thing we noticed is that the ships can get going really really fast. The turn rating doesn't seem to get high enough as my friend started his ships with speed 8 and then put all 8 PP into his velocity the very first turn. So the very first turn he was moving at 16 velocity. The turn penalty didn't seem to really phase him, as he could technically keep speeding up and moving in circles to get to a good position. Until I blew out one of his drives.

The size of the ship seemed to be strictly a bonus as the only effect on movement is fewer PP to allocate. This didn't bother me, because I would play larger ships using their PP to use modules, instead of zip around the battle field like steel butterflies, with guns and stuff. But, with no greater turn penalties for the larger ships, again there is not much to hold a speedy opponent back from just dumping all his PP into velocity again.

Tried a few of the other mechanics that all flowed smoothly, like warheads.
The modules had some fuzzy wording and we kinda just guessed at some of it.
The antimatter cloud was one of it, it had a range, and we weren't sure if that was a radius or a distance he could project the could if he wanted to help an ally. Even then, it said it dissipated at the end of movement phase which would be before you get any bonus of the cover. We just played it till the end of NEXT movement phase.

There is a lot of talk in the rulebook about special movement types and scenarios, and I think a lot of this is just confusing and extra stuff not needed to enjoy the game. It may come more naturally as I try progressively more complicated scenarios, but at this point it seems to be not necessarily.

Other than that I think it's a great system, and has tons of potential. My favorite part so far is damage allocation, I love how quick, simple and yet deep it is.

And the module concept is a fantastic way to let players customize their ships with out the side effect of a build-a-ship system, where people can build game breaking ships.

Anyway, keep up the good work, can't wait to try the next playtest round!]]>
