Is it satisfying solo? I buyed it but dont find players....im thinking on sell it. I love solo games, but not every variant is a good variant. What could you say about this one?
I think its a good variant but because of the size of the game, you really have to be committed to want to play it. Its a big time sink and if thats your speed I think it would be worth it. I have the same issue as you but I keep it so that maybe once or twice a year I can get a crew together to play. It does take a LOT of room so if its too hard or your not just in love with the game and willing to make the time for it, I would consider parting to make room and money for other things you can get to the table more often.
I recently purchased this game with the idea of playing it solo with this variant (hard to get friends together to play). I have tried this variant twice, and both times I stopped playing due to how slow is the flow, being difficult to find what to do due to the messy organization of each section in the variant rules. I'm thinking about selling the game, but I want to give it another chance. I'll try to modifiy this variant to make it more easy to read. My idea is to move the different actions and sections to cards, leaving a main sheet with the general steps, and each specific step will be put to a card. In that way I'll only focus in the card and hopefully it will be easier and faster to play. Hope it works.
@@BoardGameRoamer Yeah, it was very frustrating. When I complete the cards and the sheet I'll post a link to download them in this comments section in case you want to give them a try.
azathoz yea definitely want to try these. I’d love to give a 3 player game a whirl on some sort of video platform like hangouts or something like that. I know there are TTS versions but I think it would be cool to try it live with 3 people and use the cardboard.
@@BoardGameRoamer That sounds great. This game has a lot of potential, and I love space themed board games. That's why I resist to sell it yet. I'll let you know when I have the cards ready, and I'll share my experience using them 🙂
@@BoardGameRoamer Hi mate. Sorry for the big delay, but I managed to make the cards. I don't know if you are still interested in them but here are the links to them. There's two links, one to a zip file which contains the 4 sheets with the cards so you can print them both sides and have the cards double sided. The second is a pdf, and is the same, but all the sheets in one single file. drive.google.com/file/d/1ZHOT-Uqtxz9BKFCROt9FHBz4UsZOvMFX/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1SsGjrIwYl949DzuTh6FW3WC0h0ZA43il/view?usp=sharing
All ships except the fighters. Essentially all capital ships would be non-fighter ships. Fighters are still considered units for the purposes of fleet capacity but everything else is non-fighter. If it counts against your fleet pool it’s a non-fighter ship.
Wow. Maybe one day. My issue is really time. When this was out I did not have an area for anything else. I am still referencing the sheets a lot. Hopefully at some point I can leave it on there a while and move a little quicker. Once I have the rules down, I would like to add more bots for sure. Thanks for watching!
What about Han Solo (sorry that's the first thing that came to my mind). Seriously, I own the 3rd ed and never thought of playing a couple of rounds solo with 3 races or more. I'm having a hard time finding players for this game haha
Sorry the stream was so slow at times. I will try a wired connection next time and hope this helps.
Nope, too slow!

azathoz I would be interested if that helps. I agree that I got bogged down as well.

I' m french and i found a translate version, but i don't inderstand what it's a non-fighter ships?

@@BoardGameRoamer ok thanks a lot, i understand now...it will be easier to play now!
we could say that all those with transport capability are non-fighters ships, except space dock. Right?
Only 3 solo. I play with 5 solo. ;)

@@Steinjung I would be interested to see what you think about this variant. I never played 3rd edition.
@@Steinjung men how do you play solo the 3er ed. I own it too. I love the game and I haven't could play it.
