Starmada: Fleet Ops is a really good product, with solid everything. There are only a few gripes I have with it, and they're minor.
Probably the biggest gripe is that where they had a list of all the components of the ship, they didn't put the letters and numbers up that corresponded with the text description, which caused some angst when trying to figure out what stuff meant.
The second gripe is that there's a lot of math to be done to do some of the stuff. But that's my typical gripe with wargame-y stuff.
However, I really liked the art and the writing, and everything felt good except for that one little omission I mentioned first. Ultimately, it's worth a gander, especially if you're into that sort of thing, but be forewarned that you will run through ink and paper like there's no tomorrow if you print the stuff. There are also rules for conversion from Starmada proper, if you played it and now want to use ships from it in Fleet Operations.
