Default Re: OT... Starfire Board game!

Well, it still sounds very interesting. I like the idea of Tech Trees. That would man races would have weaknesses and strenghts in technology and Tactics. I'm also agree that I'm sort of glad that Fighters have been toned down a little. In the 3rd Edition, races would use them as much as Battleships and Superdreadnoughts. I personally think Carriers more as a Support vessel then a Main Fighting ship like you see with some Sience Fiction shows.

Could you explain breifly on how the Strategic System has been "simplified"? Its hard for me to imagine how they could have made that potion of the game simpler. Any examples would help.
