-[[/genres/scifi|Yags SciFi]] is a genre specifically designed to allow for space combat, in a way that is interesting for players and suitable for games modelled on science fiction TV, books and films. It is probably slightly //harder// than the sort of space combat often portrayed by Hollywood, but would be suitable for series such as //Babylon 5// or the re-imagined //Battlestar Galactica//.
