[QUOTE="Imperialus, post: 2831002, member: 893"] Well in terms of how the society would function I would plan on using Asamov's Foundation Traders as a base. Less focus on them being the biggest badass's around though, I'd keep the fallen empire motif however but have them working more along the lines of intersteller Shadowrunners trying to make a living off the anarchy that consumes the galaxy after the fall. This means that if there is a Foundation it would be distant and semi mythical much like it was percived by the rest of the galaxy in the books. There would be the post apocolyptic aspect of trying to scrounge functioning parts, weapons and fuel but less radioactive. @Ausiegamer: I don't suppose you have a link directly to the rules you came up with? I tried wandering through your site but it was a little too big. @Mustrum_Ridcully: I think you can make space combat more interesting by implementing a few different combat manuvers, like slingshoting around a sun or even use some special weapons to hurl either asteroids or smaller peices of debris at enemy ships. @Michael Silverbane: Those are good ideas. The idea of the ship being the PC about half the time is sorta what I was hoping to accomplish. Creating/modifying some feats/skills that would give bonus' to dogfights and the like is a cool idea. @Stormborn: I've heard good things about BESM. Kinda avoided it because I'm not a big anime fan but it might be worth looking at. [/QUOTE]
