Building Your Colony Deck
To get to evacuation play, you must already have at least one starter pack. Instructions for buying a starter pack are located here.
Currently, your starter pack is irrelevant to evacuation as you will get the standard Military Crew (even if you pick differently on the setup screen). After you log in, there is an ««< EVAC link in the upper right-hand corner. Clicking on it gives a menu with Launch a new Evacuation as the first choice.
When you launch a new evacuation, you are first presented with the launch screen above that allows you to select your origin card, ship, equipment, officers and crew (counter-intuitively, you want to go from right to left). In the future, you will also be able to attach escort ships. When you are done choosing, click on the »> Launch link. You will find yourself flying through space. Click on Begin your Adventure on the right side of the screen to do exactly that.
