A redditor says that you can see ship rules in the marketing image of the dms screen. I dunno. What do you think?

No, for sure, thst is actually legible unlike previous images.

Looks a lot like the Ghosts of Saltmarsh tables, but with more Githyanki, Giff, and Neogi.

I mean, its readable, but I'm too old to bother trying to figure out if the small print is lol.

Well, I enlarged the image. The Crashing section (roughly middle of image) starts out as "When a spelljammer ship....". So it does contain some material to relevant to Spelljammer. And seeing as how Spelljammer is considered (by some) to basically be D&D pirates but in space themed, some of the naval information from Saltmarsh could be tweaked to match and also included on the screen.

Edit: Most of the smaller text, I found to be mostly incomprehensible due to blurriness. I also didn't look too hard, The Crashing section just happened to be what I looked at first.

I'm sure some tech geek can zoom and enhance, and I'm sure some kid can read it... but I too am too old to try

In this case the resolution on the image is high enough that "zoom and enhance" is just "use the scroll wheel on your mouse to make the image bigger".

But the print is faded so a kid with good ideas is a a good idea...

So basically not unique to spelljammer at all with the exception of the first table…

More and more convinced that this incarnation will be little more than a reskinned pirate campaign.

Did you at least repeatedly say "enhance the image" at the computer screen, alternatively while waving your fingers in front of a futuristic CGI one with holoprojections?
