Are you going to do any more modules featuring the Eorna? (not unless the line sells a lot more than it is now. )What are the stats for the K'tsa-Kar system? (oops. Here you go.)Does a rocket pack help you reorient in space combat (no more than any other method of propulsion)Can I make my own computer program if I have the skills? (Like new magic items in D&D, you need GM approval for everything.)How good are Sathar at repairing? (the slightly better option)I want to know the history of the setting! (Buy Zebulon's Guide! :teeth ting<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Does having more spaceship skills let you charge extra? (yes)Can you upgrade a computer program? (Yes, but it usually costs as much as buying a whole new one, just like reality) Why is the frontier map two-dimensional? (Because you couldn't handle the complexity of real space navigation. YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT MAN!!!!)Gamma Mars: Following on from last issue, they give us a whole load of new martian monsters here. As with last issue, the martian creatures are noticeably less gonzo and more focussed in what special powers they have, as there isn't the same degree of radiation to cause random mutations. This is not to say they aren't dangerous, especially when they work together, as some of them have been selectively bred by the native martians to help them exterminate the human invaders. The result is a collection of creatures that are individually weak, but very dangerous collectively, as they enhance each other and provide a whole load of extra tricks to their creators. You're definitely intended to play these in a Tuckers Kobold's style, harrying, tricking and trapping the PC's to wear them down rather than facing them in a fair fight. Better hope they've figured out some inventive ways to use their own mutations in response. This series is turning out pretty well.</blockquote>
