A new website is being developed for Phoenix and will soon replace this one.
Please also register with the Nexus site if you have not already done so. Use the recruitment code phoenix_player. Once registered your game data will be uploaded on a daily basis.

Next familiarise yourself with the game either by looking at the basic ship rules online or by downloading the rules along with the editor.

While you can use the online order editor (you will be transferred directly to this after signing up), you also have the chance to use an off-line version of the order editor.

You can download a self-extracting zip file. This will default unzip into the following directory:
C:\Program Files\skeletal\Phoenix

• Order Editor executable plus graphics and parser update v1.3 (4th October 2004)- Self extracting zip file

Do not change this as updates are designed to overwrite files using this directory structure.
Important - this zip does not include the rulebooks, or any desktop links. You are advised at this stage to download at least the ship rulebooks, which are in the rulebook section. (see editor link)
