Re: Random thoughts on campaigning

G'day,

Oops sorry should've been clearer. The hex map was at the system level 
(i.e. star on a hex map represented the star and associated system, and 
there was the basic assumption that there was only one thing in the
system, 
say a planet that was of the most use to you), empty hexes are deep
space. 
Then once in a hex with a system then came the abstract idea of: planet
and 
system edge just to signfy whether you're at the FTL boundary or way
inside 
the system where you can only move at sublight speeds. Is that any
clearer?

Actually I think that's something we changed mid stream as 10-100 was 
proving to be too constrictive so we moved 20 to 200 (as far as I can 
remember).

 >These rules look quite good.

Thanks. Derek wants to run another campaign down here fairly soon
(though 
the guys are talking about playing out the battle for Sol so it may be
some 
ways off) so if anyone has any suggestions or can you see anything you'd

change we'd be glad to here all comments.

Cheers

Beth
