[QUOTE="rgard, post: 4861628, member: 4157"] Any of the Traveller incarnations should do the trick for you. I haven't played Mongoose's version, but combat is always quite deadly. I know you want to get away from D20, but I like Traveller T20 (disclaimer: my two oldest and I did playtest T20). I prefer the familiarity of the D20 system to speed things along (assumes those you are DMing are familiar with D20). With T20 you have the main time line to play with. Traveller 2320AD is a setting that uses T20, but the main adversary can be the 3rd French Empire. I plan to run this one day with the PCs doing most of what you describe, but giving them the opportunity to be privateers as well. The lite version of the T20 game is free here: [url=http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=28813&it=1&filters=0_0_0_0]Traveller T20 Lite - QuikLink Interactive, Inc. | DriveThruRPG.com[/url] Your players can get by with this pdf as it is the first chapter that covers PCs and combat: [url=http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=23167&it=1]Traveller20 - Book 1 - Characters and Combat - QuikLink Interactive, Inc. | DriveThruRPG.com[/url] The second two pdfs cover equipment and worlds/adventures. In any case, whatever the system you decide on, you can mine the fluff and published adventures from the other versions. Thanks, Rich [/QUOTE]
