Correct. We were playing something more akin to the campaign game where
you start with a cutter and move up. In addition to the potential for
interesting play, this also had the advantage of giving the players a
less complicated ship to deal with initially. With the battle game, one
would distribute a bunch of ships, and unless there were enough big
ships for everyone, some people would be running several smaller ships.
Had we played the battle game, I think turns would have taken MUCH
longer, and the whole game would have needed to be more coordinated
(with the campaign game, people were able to move pretty independantly).
