Ok.... you can move to any type of star system you wish (as long aas it
has different star(s) from the one your ship is currently in. Your
ships ALWAYS point away from you (that is how you know they are yours.
go take a look at this game that just got started...
http://superdupergames.org/main.html?page=play_homeworlds&num=1981
I am Kermit. I have moves a ship from my homeworld (the one with my
username) to the namor system. I did this by 'discovering' a new star
system with a green ship i used the yellow star in my homeworld to do
this. you will notice the namor system also has a yellow star meaning i
could move that ship again. Since the ship in the namor system is green
i could build another ship and then move that instead. Also read the
comments in that game as my opponents are mostly newbies and I am
dispensing free advice.

Ok. So you're homeworlds space is the area immediatly around the
homeworld icehouse pieces.
So, how do you travel away from your homeworld, and discover new
"planets" or systems or whatever when you can only move to the same
type of star system?

Try Andy's description of a game at

Although it's for Binary Homeworlds, it should be helpful in figuring
out
the n-player version as well.

No boundaries. Player's "territory" is simply whatever stars s/he
controls
by having ships in that system. Since there is no requirement that only
one
player have ships in a system, "territories" can overlap.
