[QUOTE="Sepulchrave II, post: 5139090, member: 4303"] I'd also recommend [I]Traveller[/I] and simply multiply the length of time needed for superluminal travel by x10: at this rate it will take you around 4 months to reach Alpha Centauri (sound OK?). You can put people in hypersleep ('low berths') for the journey. [I]Traveller[/I] has many incarnations. If you want rules-lite, go with the original 1977 edition ("Classic [I]Traveller[/I]"). Reprints are available. I think it's best. [I]T20[/I] is pretty good. [I]Megatraveller [/I]and [I]Traveller: The New Era[/I] are more rules-heavy and gearhead-oriented, and with substantial errata. Avoid [I]T4[/I] like the plague, as it has lousy editing and even more errata. [I]Traveller 2300AD[/I] is very quirky: colonial powers have regions in space (e.g. "The French Arm"). [I]Mongoose Traveller[/I] is the edition currently supported: I don't like it, but YMMV.
