	The rules from the 1992 rulebook + the two fleet books are considered the canonical rules, called "2.5 edition." Edition 3.0 has been promised for a long time. The "Light" rules published in UK and Germany are supposed to be a teaser.		The rules from the 1992 rulebook + the two fleet books are considered the canonical rules, called "2.5 edition."

	Too simple for the hardcore grognards. Some feel it's too much like sail ships on water, some pooh-pooh the movement rules in space (either overlooking the vector movement rules, or wanting true 3D movement). The mathfags will point out that the point-buy system can be abused horribly by min-maxing your fleet into something monstrous.		Too simple for the hardcore grognards.

	... but everyone agrees that set-up and play is fast, and still has that essential sci-fi feel. What it may sacrifice in realism it gains in dropping the need for a spreadsheet for each ship. Sure, you can abuse the ship design rules but if you do that you're a dick and ~~your~~ not playing the game properly - its a game of toy spaceships, not Kasparov vs. Deeper Blue! You get continuous and pulse beam weapons, missiles, fighters, power management, and you can field dozens of ships to a side without more than an index card for each craft.		... but everyone agrees that set-up and play is fast, and still has that essential sci-fi feel.

	* Kra'Vak — (translates as "People of the Sorrow Killer"). Bipedal lizard-bugs, use a language that humans can't really speak or understand, so humans tend to fail Diplomacy checks. What makes it worse is Kra'Vak have multiple stages of puberty during their life where they flip genders and ~~behaviours~~ -- the placid matronly woman you dealt with last month is now an aggressive teenager bent on conquest before the next life-stage will have him settling down to bear children. Kra'vak technology is about the same level as humans, but they have more trust for mass-throwing ship weapons such as railguns and missiles, and they also lack shield technology.		* Kra'Vak — (translates as "People of the Sorrow Killer").

	* Sa'Vasku — Very long-lived jellyfish, they've seen younger races rise and fall. Their galactic politics are very conservative, and they seem to fear change. They make for bizarre allies, willing to take whichever side of a battle will result in the weakest victor. The proliferation of humans scares the ~~bejezus~~ out of them, but at least they seem to treat each human faction as a ~~seperate~~ entity rather than trying to undermine humanity as a whole. Sa'Vasku technology is biosynthetic: their spaceships are living creatures they inhabit just like the tapeworm in your colon. The ships have beam-organs and ~~missle~~-spore ejectors.		* Sa'Vasku — Very long-lived jellyfish, they've seen younger races rise and fall.

	* Phalon — oxy-breathers, bilateral symmetry, but too many joints in their limbs, bone-plates in their skin and flat triangle heads with a three-part eye. Most of their military are the sterile third gender. Phalon technology is also bio-synthetic, but rather than breeding vehicles, they construct ships out of metal and fleshy bits -- their spaceships look like big snails. Phalons can speak human language, and their psychology is similar enough to translate abstract concepts, but Phalons have nothing that resembles human morality.		* Phalon — oxy-breathers, bilateral symmetry, but too many joints in their limbs, bone-plates in their skin and flat triangle heads with a three-part eye.
