[QUOTE="Capn Charlie, post: 7160637, member: 16046"] I kept Psionics out intentionally as it did not fit my "hard(er) scifi aesthetic. It is really easy to give rayguns to wizards and call it sci-fi, and I wanted a different experience. That being said, I have had some weird fourth dimensional aliens with funky powers, and some 3.5 (half ascended) ones with similar powers.... so rule of cool. If you want some wannabe jedi running around, go for it. I wouldn't, however, for my table. and yes, Synthetics are fine in hyperspace as long as there are some biological crew around, like any shipboard equipment. I do play up the existential dread of it, though. One player running a synthetic at my table developed a fear of hyperspace and would pester the biological characters constantly during jumps, even wanting to sleep in bed with one so they would remember he existed. Yes indeed. The Hegemony has its own official currency, though solar credits are accepted on many worlds and trade stations in the border areas. Nope, no unescorted synthetics. This is one of the core conceits of FTL travel that ties the setting together. Otherwise unmanned and drone spaceships would make way more sense than tramp freighters and adventuring parties. I apologize for letting this many posts accrue, just been super busy lately. I plan on PMing Digigirl as well. [/QUOTE]
