Did you ever get around to playing it with your kids? I love starship combat games or is it more of an rpg! Never actually heard of this one but I didn't get too much into different rpgs when this came out, 97 was a different time I was lucky the book shop I went too hard two rpgs AD&D and GURPs as a teen.
I started my oldest playing when he was about eight. My youngest started at about four. Throwing dice in a game is a great way to teach young kids math. We're playing again this week.
This game has a rather painful loop-hole in the system, the disrupter. This weapon either ignores or strips away armor, I forget which. While most of my group was interested in running a balanced squadron, one player was only interested in winning. She ran nothing but a swarm of small disrupter armed fighters.
Hope your health recovers fully soon! Great to see another video and always a fan of your Silent Death videos, you really helped me get back into the game!
