[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5958545, member: 52734"] I don't have much advice for SAGA (I much prefer West End D6 version), but I can tell you not to bother with the Starship Battles game - it is utter crap. Back in the early Star Wars d20 time, they did adapt the Silent Death rules for starship combat, and from what I read, it was fairly popular. There is also Star Warriors, which handled extensive starship combat for the D6 game. However, the latter could easily consume an entire session in itself to work out a decent-sized combat. <edit> Isn't there an Old Republic book for Saga? And, while I've only played a handful of SAGA sessions, the books I would recommend would be the core book, Scum and Villainy, Threats to the Galaxy, and if you're planning a lot of space travel/battles, Starships (not the mini game, the book). Also, we found that force powers like telekinetics, lightning and the like were far more powerful than anything you could do with a lightsaber. Especially when hero points and destiny points are factored in. It's a little to use to get the Use Force skill into the range where it's basically an autohit from level one (I seem to recall my Cerean Jedi character had at least +12, I want to say +16 to Use the Force skill checks.
