[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 7221885, member: 26698"] Well... just binged both seasons of "The Expanse" on Netflix (and Green Ronin pulling out an RPG soon? Awesome). Think there's a couple of ideas we could borrow... ...y'know, think we could add "Ludricous Speed" to this thing. Some kind of FTL "afterburner"? It is absurdly fast, but there is a problem with it: when you hit it, no matter how super-duper-advanced the FTL tech is, reality kind of ensues. As in the G-Force overrides whatever kind of "inertial compensator" the ship is supposed to have, flattens you against your seat, and if you stay in it for too long your blood vessels explode. So ships that have an Epstein Drive and ones that have Ludricrous Speed boosters have a similar control design scheme, with the control sticks on the seat rests, vocal controls for you to yell (well, mumble) "stop!" if you need to, and maybe even drug dispensers to keep G-LOC from knocking you out. As for Mars... well, heck, there's a lot of crazy stuff there. Think fellas would like more stuff from "John Carter Of Mars"-style and "War Of The Worlds"-style, but I like "The Martian"... dunno... maybe some pockets of "real" atmosphere, as it was before The Vanishing terraformed the place, still exist? Belters... well... think there's three or four sci-fi settings out there where the Asteroid Belt's been colonized, and all of them seem to have this "Wild West IN SPAAAAAACCCCEEEE!" feeling to that part of the setting, so they may be somewhat easy to mesh together...
