It works in a few ways - the initial scenarios are purely solo, graduating up to a federation cruiser vs a klingon ship, with "robot" rules directing the klingon. From then on the scenarios are 2 player, and I mostly play 2 handed - but the robot pilot can be made to work with some of the other vessels as well. Later on there is a purely solo scenario, of your ship versus a planet eating monster... There is a huge range, and of course it expands even more for the full game - but 2 handed or solo vs robot are both enjoyable and workable
Looks like a cool package. Do the solo rules have a decent AI or is it more playing both sides the best you can?
