My only response here is that they are obviously not as easy to read as you seem to think. Rulesmasters and the ominous FAQ in Arm. are fairly good indications that the rules are fairly diffcult to understand without help.

I was responding to your comment about the difference between fighters and ships. I do think the hyperspace rules are not written as clearly as they could be but I do think generally the rules are pretty easy to understand.

Also the FAQ is really only two pages (with most of the rest being errata) and mostly covers paticular situations and aspects of the rules that should have been included for those situations, not clarifacations for unclear rules.

As for understanding the rules batter because I am involved in the playtesting process, I have only been involved for a short while and was not involved with the rulebook.

I also have to admit that I did make a howling error the first time I played the game, but that is a fairly common occurance with any new game and such mistakes are ususally discovered after re-reading the rules after the first game.
