Just wondering if the game is able to be drafted along the same format as MTG drafts? If not, anybody got any suggestions for modifications to make it work?

i don't believe there are enough cards to make a draft
i'd prefer to wait for some expansions before the drafts :)

Well basically, you get 8 people, and sit them around a table.
Each person get's 3 boosters (packs of 15). You open the first booster, choose a card, and pass the rest to the person on your left. The next pack you get from your right has 14 cards, and the process continues (pick one, pass the rest) until all the boosters are done.
Once all 3 boosters are done, everyone should have 45 cards. Then you have to construct 40 card deck from those 45 you chose and basic land. People play each other with the decks etc. and a winner is crowned ;)

You can draft and play sealed deck quite easily with the core set. We had limited play (draft and sealed) in mind when we decided on the rarities of the cards... Most of the common cards are frigates and locations, and these cards make up the infrastructure of most decks.
How many boosters you use is really up to you, but i recommend using at least 4 boosters for drafting. You don't get lands to fill up your deck like in magic, so if you only have 3 boosters you're gonna have to play with almost all the cards you drafted.
Rules for limited play and tournaments and such will be up on the ccg website when we get closer to the official launch og the game.

I kinda wish you guys hadn't made foil regions. 3 of the 13 foils I got from packs were regions.
Guess I must buy more packs if I want to get a BS.

Being and avid magicdrafter i think it's very much possible :); i'd supply to players the desired starbase and maybe even the 3 desired regions (to limit the chance factor).
I would definitely use at least 4 (if not 5) boosters as you need to fill 52 slots vs 24/25.
I'm still too new to the game to decide wether a 40 (or at least <52) cards market can be used in limted formats to avoid being forced to fill it with junk (or to use too many boosters which will make a draft too expensive)
