By traditional thinking, two larges is a very poor choice. You also get a ship, which is highly recommended to be large. > Players can only move ships to star systems that do > not share a piece size as the system a ship is leaving.

The interface is not the slickest, but the competition (when it happens) is fierce but friendly. I'm on as dsheldon and am always willing to play (and teach). In the link JB posted, remember that those rules are for "standard" Homeworlds, which assumes four players. The difference is you will only need three of each size/color (instead of five) and you can ignore the rules regarding good and evil.
