A friend and I tried it as is, but then added some tweaks to suit our needs. Overal the Starmada games it created were different and fun because of that. Plus when you're concerned about your ships showing up in the next battle, you DEFINITELY play more cautiously.
I would hope that when this sees a full release it comes with some kind of fleet tracking excel sheet. There was a lot of overhead even with the slights mods we made.
Not to turn this in a different direction, but it might be nice to have an official ship-construction app, one that's updateable, so you wouldn't have to re-enter everything. (Spreadsheets are nice, but they have their limitations. Whenever we update our home-brew rpg, I have to re-enter everything by hand. Tedious.)
FWIW, here's a half-baked pseudo-campaign idea:
In a battle, score half credit for ships you drive off the map, full credit for ships you destroy. This encourages heavily-damaged ships to flee.
