Ok.  After watching a few of those videos, I’ve decided to make Void Pirates my very first SF rule set.  I’ve just ordered it from here:

I’m really curious now.

Thanks for all your great suggestions, guys!

He’s got more games using the rule set.

Thank you for finding those links, Dan. I have to admit that watching nicely presented games on Youtube is one of my guilty pleasures, and that guy does a very good job - nice looking table, lots of enthusiasm and he explains the rules well. (I think he's making a few oversights rules-wise, but you'll learn soon what they are.) This has inspired me to crack out VP and give it another whirl. Many thanks again, and keep us posted on what you think!

Glad you like them.  I’m going to have to watch all his videos too!

Daryl, if you go back to playing Void Pirates, I’d love to hear all about it!  Thanks so much for fueling my interest in the rules.

Update

I couldn’t resist the price on Amazon, so I went ahead and also ordered Mutants and Death Ray Guns!

Glad to be of service! One thing to remember is that the system won't handle 10-15 figures a side easily, due to its lack of rules for cannon-fodder types, but there are some ways this might easily be fixed. Once you get the rules and give them a once or twice over, come back and we can compare notes! Best of luck!

If anyone's still thinking about void pirates, Lulu has a 20% discount this weekend on printed books - use code BIGTREAT20

I may take the plunge, although I'm not exactly short of rules to read just now ;D

Thanks for that!

I may have missed out on the discount, but I hope that others take advantage of it.  A 20% discount is always a good thing.

When the game first came out, I wrote up a rules overview:
