Topic: Age of Sail Starmada?

I've been toying with this idea since I first got Starmada.

A sailing ship game. The weapons would be a snap to design. Movement would be based on the attitude of the wind in comparison to your ship and to the size of your ship.

Starmada would make it easy to play one-on-one or huge battles like the Nile.

Sounds doable.  Reworking the movement rules would be the only really hard part, I think (I'd go with engines rating multiplied by a constant depending on direction relative to the wind, but that's just me).  Go for it and post it in the Basin!

We use Fire As She Bears! by Phil Fry for our Age of Sail games.  It is very easy to learn and use.

If you do decide to go with Starmada for this period, you need to remember that there are major differences in command and control compared to normal Starmada settings.
