I need some feedback on the rules, so any comment is more than welcome.

It looks interesting. One question I have is that you say to use the "1-2-1 rule", but then the example shows 1,2, and 2. Which is it?

Thanks for the reply. I must have missed it.
Diagonal move: 1–2–1 rule. First diagonal move costs 1 sq, the second 2 sq, and the third 1 sq. So a ship that moves 2 diagonal squares costs 3 sq.

Not really fond of using any kind of grid, or hex-system for anything in an RPG.

This reminds me that there was once mention of some sort of tactical starship combat game promised from Decipher? Did anyone ever see anything about that? Perhaps Mr. Burke or somebody who did playtesting saw something?

I would have been called 'Red Alert' if I remember corectly.
As for play testing, I never heard any reports ont that part.

I thought it was slated to be called Engage but I can't find any facts to support my claim. Does that jog anyone's memory?

Yes, per the Narrator's Guidge on page 110, where they suggest we try a more strategic treatment of starship combat by using Decipher's Engage!

Star Trek: Red Alert! was the customizable disk game from Last Unicorn Games. Lots of fun, would've been cool if they'd tied it to ICON because then we could tweak it for use with CODA. Nicely abstract in terms of movement and whatnot.
