The ship tokens where also hexagonal to fit the maps - this is significant, since ships had six shield arcs, one for each counter side. For convenience, the game, like Khan, tended to ignore the Z-axis. The PCs generally had one ship and three where three A3 panels for the crew stations (panels/roles could be subdivided if more players). Square counters on sliding bars were used to record and adjust power distribution to ship's systems - shields, weapons, engines, life support etc. Whilst the nominated captain was in overall command, there was plenty for each player to do. Each PC crew member could make a skill roll (D100) try and do things like coax more power from the engines. Weapon firing arcs, range and facing were significant tactical considerations.</blockquote>
