I agree completely. The second part of that post was very much primarily in response to the other poster.That's fair. The rules modules will stand on their own. Meaning, if you want to play in the Reign of Discordia universe, that's cool. But, if you want starships, starship rules, equipment, playable alien species, and so on you can take the parts you want to use and disregard the rest.
Personally, I don't see a lot of value as a creator and publisher in just producing the rules modules without associated IP, but as I said above, using the IP as presented is optional.
I would rather have to tinker with things to shift the flavor of a thing from one setting to another, than read the dry mathematical reference book from a library text of a game book with no lore.
