So far we've been playing the campaign game variant where folks start
with a cutter. I've been doing some thinking about how to start with
larger ships or get them into play faster. I like the additional role
playing of the campaign game, but it just runs too long to get much
chance to upgrade ships. Perhaps next year we'll do a combat game and
then we can give each player 4-7 classes of ship. Of course if we got
all the ships available out, I think we'd need a larger play area.
I'll have to think about ways to still involve some of the scenario
islands.

Perhaps you could scout out some locations?
