that one looks alot better. I cant do miniatures, dont have the money. But that looks good. I would love to give it a try, but i'd not know where to start.

Well all you'd need is a hex map. You could just print one. Then print out some small pictures of the ships you'd like to use. Then get some appropriate dice or use an online dice roller.

Or if you're playing with someone over chat you could set a hex map to the background in powerpoint and just move pictures of starships around it and then use an online dice roller.

that would be good...now to find an unsuspecting pawn....

EDIT - Jesus the rules are so complex dammit!
