I have both version of SC. The differences are minor. AH continued
their annoying habit of "fixing" things better left alone (like the
airplane data cards in AIRFORCE, but I digress.) They have changed
the names of the ships (Dreadnaught became DeathStar - yeech!) and
have added command posts. If you don't have unlimited ship range,
you can't be more than 8 hexes from a command post. Each player gets
7 CP to put on planets he has explored. It is still an excellent game.
I am currently involved in a blind gamemastered play by Email game
on Compuserve. It has been really interested. You can't even see the
enemy task force markers.
