I highly doubt it would or will be made into a rpg game, but if it ever was I would be one of the first people to buy it.
I think its possible to make it, especially if you have the Confederation Handbook along with the novels and take it step by step, and use the various starship creation books out there (Neo's Starship Creator book is the best I have seen for science fiction) and use that for the various types of starships.
I think its also daunting because of just how vast the universe he created is and the detail he has put into it. I don't know of any other series written by a person that has that much detail about so many different things, its simply amazing. That said, I don't think Peter F. Hamilton would be against it being used as a d20 game (heck, it might shock the hell out of him if it ever was).

His Mindstar Rising series was also an excellent read and would make a fine setting for gaming with a Cyberpunk-like distopia, global warming, megacorperate conflict, street level rebelion, and a dash of psionics 
. Perhaps one less daunting than his opus, Night's Dawn.

yeah I like that trilogy also. Heck, d20 Modern could possibly be used for that one, but the psionics would have to be definately changed.

*Chuckle* Spycraft/Shadowforce Archer all the way. Some of the psionics in there are based on it

I never thought about that but you are absolutely correct. Spycraft/SA would be perfect for a Mindstar Rising trilogy, but not with the Nights Dawn Trilogy. I think a modified Traveler t20 might work, but I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to do that. T20 is cool but cumbersome to read through.
So, what would work for Nights Dawn?
