Sorry to have dropped off the world for so long. Had some net difficulties. Things appear to be working better now. I will return if you will have me. But if it has been too long and you wish to replace me I understand.
If anyone is curious, except for a slight mess up that was actually in favor of the pirates the sim-battle in my post was played out by the rules to give me some familiarity with the way star ship battles work.
Dave are there going to be a lot of space battles?
That's certainly the intention, though I'm not quite sure how to handle fleet actions yet. Hundreds of capital ships and thousands of fighters is far, far beyond the scale standard SWSE space combat is designed to handle.
