Hi Joe,
I've always wanted to try a Lego mircoship game. But my group is a little too
BrikWar oriented to break away (frankly, I love to try something like
Battlestations in Lego; where there's a miniature ship-to-ship combat part and
then a full-interior ship part).
For a strict ship-to-ship game, I suggest adapting the rules for Full Thrust.
They have a generic, open background, and scalability for bigger ships. Movement
doesn't have to be based on hexes, it can be in inches, centimeters, or
whatever, so you aren't restricted.
The rules can be simplified--especially if you just use Cinematic Movement--and
are pretty much a d6 affair.
And, best of all, they're currently free as PDF downloads!
Here's the wikipedia entry for Full Thrust:

And where you can actually download the rules from Ground Zero Games:

If you do end up playing (using whatever rules) be sure to take pics and post
the details. I can't wait for my kid to be old enough.
Good luck!
