[QUOTE="Yora, post: 8661343, member: 6670763"] If the premise is adventures in space rather than science fiction, there's always the option of low-tech space travel. There were huge amounts of futuristic space stories in the mid 20th century that aimed at being fun for the common masses and they generally didn't bother with considering major revolutions in technology. Retro-future is always an option. Though admittedly that's usually a style choice rather than as a solution to narrative obstacles the writers are running into. I think even with 2020s technology, it's not that intrusive if your campaign is about adventures on the frontiers of known space rather than in major population centers with populations in the billions. There is no need for a galaxy wide subspace holonet that gives instant access to all the galaxy's recorded information even on some small rock hundreds of lightyears from the next major city. Every advanced security circumvention device can be countered with advanced security measures. There are no I Win buttons just because the game is set in space. [/QUOTE]
