A good way to start is check out GURPS Space, it gives a lot of options for space travel types that you can build from. For instance, in Traveller, you can't communicate in FTL, but in Niven's Known Space it is allowed. Niven's FTL can only have navigators that have psionics (latent or full)...

Gruffle Gruffle has a puzzled expression on his face when the fat man talks to Kaira & walks right past him & then thinks to himself: "Is he blind? I'm standing right here." As Kaira heads to the bar, Gruffle returns back to the Engineering station to assist with the takeoff.

Leaving a system in STL does take longer, that's in the original Traveller manuals I believe. I've been reading Niven's Known Space series lately & the reason they have to fly to the outskirts of a given star system is because the fusion motors used can fry a planet or other ships. Think...

Gruffle Seeing nothing, Gruffle speaks over the intercom, "If Jarson Wenceslaus doesn't come forward, we will be selling your seat to another passenger. No refunds." (OOC: Will the bluff be called? :uhoh:)

I noticed some heavy OOC conversation on ship speeds & design. Everybody's Traveller can be setup/run in their own way. What are the basics? From what I've read it always takes a week to travel between systems, no matter what. It doesn't get any faster or slower based on cargo, etc. Maybe...

Gruffle Gruffle hears about the missing person on the roster, heads to the passenger boarding section of the ship & calls out over the intercom/speaker system to the people standing around outside, "Is Jarson Wenceslaus here? Does anyone know Jarson Wenceslaus? If so, please step forward."...

Gruffle Gruffle eats his ship food & stares at Kaira as she struts in with an inquisitive, but indifferent look at her appearance. Gruffle says to Kaira, "Aye. I think we can drop off the gems before heading out. We should probably check the slow boat mail drop to see if there is any word...

Gruffle Gruffle puts up his gear & switches back to his jumpsuit. He passes near the Croubek & sniffs. Then says, "Err, uhh. I think I'll have a pass on that croubek meat, Jimmy." He picks up a pack of standard ship rations & heads to the break room (or where everyone else happens to be...

Gruffle Gruffle feels a bit shaken after killing the animals & squats down & forward to catch his breath & get more air into his system, a psychosomatic response to pressure and anxiety. After a few minutes, Gruffle heads back to the cave entrance propping up one arm on the entrance & hollars...

Gruffle Gruffle's ears perk up & he says out loud, "Did I just kill the mother?? I don't know if the game license would approve of that, but I guess we can't shoot those mewlings, aside from the fact that it lacks sport." Gruffle looks to see if the female croubek is still alive. Gruffle...

Gruffle Gruffle looks at the new blasted croubeks & feels relieved that these animals can't shoot back at him like in the old scout days. "Hey Jimmy! Get ready to carve up a few more croubeks over here. It looks like we won't be able to drag them back out, as is." Looking in the direction...

Gruffle Gruffle will blast at any croubeks he can see.

Need to refresh my memory on the mechanics of GURPS. If I don't roll a whole lot in-game, it's because of this. I'll slowly be getting back into it soon. Perhaps write a few perl scripts to simulate some GURPS combat, etc. I put "To Hit" but perhaps it's some other name for it. I'll be...

Gruffle Gruffle fires at the two nearest croubeks as fast as he can with his laser rifle.

Gruffle Gruffle says, "I'll look & see if I can spot an egg, Zoe." Gruffle looks around to see if there are any eggs then takes a shot at each of the remaining crubeks. "It'll be easier to search if we kill the rest of them!", Gruffle shouts as he starts blasting.

Gruffle After looking at the shiney back & the guts of the foul creature, Gruffle re-arms himself with his laser rifle & says, "We need to get into that cave & kill the nest. I think we may have time to get a few more. I'll move closer to the cave & see if I can fire a few shots." Gruffle...

Gruffle Gruffle looks at the shells of the Croubek & asks, "Do think these things are worth any money?" After that, Gruffle shoulders his rifle & says, "Good shooting everybody. Are we going after the others in that cave?" OOC: Sorry I've been away. Got behind on a lot of stuff over the...

Gruffle Gruffle looks at the Croubeks & begins to feel his a shiver go up his spine as his shakes are trying to take their toll. He takes his laser rifle & aims it at the approaching Croubek & will try to fire his weapon at its head. OOC: I'll probably need a roll to see if Gruffle actually...

I'm back! I didn't expect to be gone so long but I got food poisoning last Friday & have been out of it & recovering up until now. It's one of the things I hate about traveling.

Gruffle Gruffle listens alertly at the sound of the engines & mutters to himself, "Won't be long now & then we'll have a little extra cred added to the stack."
