Nice one 🙂 like it
Very helpful. I feel, unlike other well know games, this isn’t a attempt simply to rehash and make a buck by flogging a dead horse
great summary of the changes.
I hadn’t considered using a generic NPC fleet for the initial game design, but in hindsight it makes so much sense!
Watching this on YouTube at the moment 😀
new edition looks great!
Interesting take, but definitly think they went about it the right way. You are not too beholden to what came before!
As someone who’s never played the game before, I’m curious about how needed the new rules and changes were?
great overview of the work thats gone into this edition
Hopefully changes for the better
