We're pretty easy going and will answer even the noobiest questions, so post them here. Most of us have been in your shoes -- used to play the boardgame but it was years ago.

It's not a perfect translation of the boardgame, but differences are spelled out in the "How to play" page. BazJP already mentioned the Newbie Guide. The interface makes it impossible to make an illegal move or anything like that.

Right now two versions are available: Simplified and Basic. Basic includes drifting, grappling and melee to capture enemy ships.

I'd be happy to play a game or two with you (or anyone else who's learning the game). Several others will also (post a reply captains). Just create a challenge game for your opponent or post here.

Bill
