INSTANT STARSHIP: DIRECTOR'S CUT

Reading through the Director's Cut and it's really mind-blowing work. The efficiency on display here is crazy, making each page compact and stuffed with self-contained data, but somehow still keeping it stylish and evocative? Incredible work. The rules *could* get away with just being functional at this scale, but instead they're stuffed with clever little touches and unexpected bonuses. Consistently clear, consistently delightful, consistently *good*.

INSTANT STARSHIP inspires me to do even more with my own games - and intimidates me, more than a little! It's a damn good sci-fi toolkit, and one I'd love to bring to my group or tackle solo (I'll report back if I do the latter). Thank you for such a cool game!

If I have one wish, it's that I'd love some specific equipment (especially non-weapons) beyond the d6 items and undefined 'tool' you start with. 

Personal highlights: the adorable cycle of play diagram on page 4 with the little rocket ship, the elegance of ship combat damage being distance-based, the list of Services for sale (karaoke room!!), what a surprise the Astro Animals page is (do they also get a Class?), the d6-driven "enemy AI" roll table, fitting a whole space station into one page while making sure it feels like an actual place, the brilliance of the "one hour one-shot" as an idea and its execution here, 3 example Contract Sites, the Dark Passengers, the Achievements page (especially the one that unlocks a cool speakeasy)

Finally picked this up, I can't wait to give it a peek!

I can't get this game out of my head. The system is just too amzg. The one thing that gives me a prbm is the enmy system. 

I feel like not every enmy is going to want to hide, nor should every enmy have the ability to blast you for max damage, for instance.

What if you had a system of "overlays" for types of enmy? Like small swrm enmy types might have one set of six actions while boss types might have another? 

I know the idea is nstn gameplay, and creating a million NPC types just reduces the simplicity. But if you had like 3, 4, or 6 types of enemies that might make things more varied while also adding verisimilitude to the encounters?

I really love the design (both graphic and game)😍 great work!

Great looking system! I do like the oldschool weathered look, but....

Please make sure the weathering does not obscure text! The blue "Commerce & Credit Scores" box, I have no idea if that is a 2 or 3 under costs while traveling. Style is nice but don't let it interfere with the text.

Just noticed a small typo on Page 2 of INSTANT STARSHIP V3.1.pdf. The Pilot Class has "BRAIN" instead of "BRAINS."

looks very cool. Love the design and can't wait to play it!

I'm streaming now on my YouTube channel. Doing a look at the game.

Incredibly excited to tuck into this one!

Love this!

Small typo on page 5 "one a"

This is absolutely great. I want to do a whole video about it. My only thing that I'd like to know about before I do is what would be a reason to choose a new skill as a character advancement? It feels like starting a new skill at 2 would be a lot less useful than just increasing a skill that covers half of all applications by one.

You had me at vice: "painting minis" 

Great work—minimal yet comprehensive and such a sleek presentation!

This is super impressive! A bunch of nifty rule crammed into just a handful of sleek pages–and there's ship combat! What's not to love? 

I am always looking for a small framed rpg that can do Star Wars Outer Rim! This just might be it. The kind of thing numerous supplements could be added to to flesh out. Of course, the sweet design becoming indicative of this designer!
