Yeah it's a computer game, but I wouldn't really say you're controlling a warship. The story is you're a messenger vessel and you have to try to get to the end of the map before the Rebels find and kill you. You don't directly control where the ship goes, but you do control the inner workings and weapons. Every new star system you visit has a random encounter that kind of plays out like a board game in a sense. When you die you have to go back to the beginning as a new ship trying to deliver the message.
It's a pretty good little game and a shining example of the booming indie game market, as well as the success of Kickstarter for financing cool little games like this.
