How much time did your 4 player games take to teach and play out? I'm hoping that the game plays fast from how it looks, but you can never be sure.
We had 2 hour sessions set up. I would say rules explanation took maybe 10-15 minutes. Games were generally about an hour, no more than an hour and a half.
Obviously, the first couple turns were slow as you started to see what movement and combat did. And the round got faster after that. The game was generally slower because it was team play so they spent a fair amount of time discussing their moves.
I have play tested this for a year and typical 1 on 1 is usually about half an hour. More ships is more time.
For the 12-player, it took me about half an hour to get through the rules and get all the premade "sets" distributed. Actual play time was probably around 2.5 hours.
