My wife and I have played the learn to play rules a couple of times and and my new ships just came in the mail so now I can play up to 300 points.

It's time to go crazy and play everything as it was meant to be played.

What's our favorite objective to play? We want to start with a good objective and nothing too weird to start with.

One of the Red Objectives is probably best to start out with.

"Advanced Gunnery" and "Most Wanted" are fun as they make one of each players' ships an objective ship, doubling how much it's worth to your opponent if it's destroyed.

For Yellow, I'd start out with "Hyperspace Assault" as it's also quite straightforward. Steer clear of the Blues until you have a little more practice maneuvering on the full 3x6 play area.

Those 3 should be good to start with and build from there. I have yet to play a few of the objectives, but from what I've seen, they're all pretty balanced and fun

Hyperspace Assault is probably my most favorite, both as the attacker and the defender. How often do you get to deploy ships in the middle of an existing engagement?

For new players though, I'll echo "Most Wanted" and "Advanced Gunnery", especially the latter because what it tells you your objective ship can do helps remind you of what your non-objective ships can't do. Also for new players, "Superior Positions" encourages you to get better at maneuvering and taking pot shots on your opponent's flank, a good set of skills to learn.
