It was the premiere generic ruleset?  I bought the first version that
came
out as three little booklets.  Then I bought the second version, The one
that came in the nice box.  At that point I grew tired of their "WW2
Navies
in Space"  attitude.  If you examine Task Force Games produces, you will
find that most of them have strong flavors of WW2, with just the names
changed.  By then I was bummed out.  I once tried to strip all of the
"ocean
navy" things from the game.  What I had was so odd, that it actually
felt
good.  But my friend and I were fed up with starfire, and stopped doing
anything with it.
