It’s been a little while since I played, which is a shame, but combat wasn’t the main focus of my plays. The joy of creating new planets and technologies took center stage for me. Granted, I really do need to get back to playing so I can properly explore everything else! Maybe I’m just forgetting about all the combat? Yet I don’t remember that as being the defining characteristic.

Feel free to use my rules listed above, as that’s what really helped me understand how to play! If you have any other questions, I usually answer pretty quickly. Best of luck to you!
