I would like to make an edit. I think the game would be much more interesting if production could only be spent on the home-world. This will provide a natural...
Well, in that case you'd need to include some new ship types and system bases: Cargo ships, as Missile boats might not be able to travel all the way back the...

I guess you're all too busy trying out Warp Chess (grin) I was thinking - is there a simple way to add a cloaking feature to the pencil & paper version that...
... My initial thought would be that cloak would modify the speed settings for combat in some form or fashion. Just to throw some numbers out there, say 3...
