The generic fleet-scale sci-fi combat rules A Sky Full of Ships are now available as a download from RPGNow.
This 40-page PDF document sells for $7.50 USD, and contains all that is required for play - ship design, basic movement and combat rules, optional rules such as electronic warfare, special weapons and technological levels, as well as scenarios, sample fleets and more.
Using simple, fast-moving game mechanics, ASFoS attempts to portray the important aspects of huge fleet engagements without becoming too bogged down in time-consuming detail. They're for those players willing to sacrifice some complexity to achieve a fast-moving, playable, and most importantly, fun game.
