Why it feels good
What you get out of a session
Not every hour feels the same. Sometimes you want a hard win, sometimes a quiet colony rhythm, sometimes a surprise on the map - or a story that needs other commanders.
One session can give you a tight logistics win and a curious scan in the same hour. These pages describe the payoffs X-Wars is built to deliver.
If a mechanic does not give you at least one of these feelings, it is not ready - that is how I judge what ships.
