Has anyone actually played a game with the contents of a single pack?
I can’t remember exactly how my first “games” went down back in 2005, but it’s possible that I played out of just one pack because that’s what the Start Here rules suggest. However, my first purchase was 2 packs of SM, so it’s likely I learned with both of them.
I agree that it’s a cool feature of the game/distribution, but if the game was relaunched I would probably want at least 4 ships per pack to have a much better chance of balancing point costs/factions/etc. Or a starter pack/box with either 8 or 10 ships total.
Thanks for starting a new thread topic too. The forum could use more topics started by someone other than me. XD
