WELL! I actually started out much the same way as you. First I bought Lost
Ships, just to get a basic idea, then I purchased the War Captains Companion.
With the information in those two , I managed a basic "planet-to-planet" hop
around with my party. You don't need heaps of preperation, as IMHO tou just need
to be a good story teller.
Have fun, I hope i've helped,
