Steampunk Dragonstar

[Bloodstone de Troll]

I have been pondering a Steampunk setting using concepts from the Dragonstar setting. My players would not be inclined to play in the stsndard DS setting due to its "orcs with blasters" feel with not enough technobabble.
I have always loved the steam-boiler technology of a steampunk. and I think that the pseudo-scientific reasoning of Dragonstar, mixed with magic and the like might just be the ticket! What do you all think???

After my current game ends I am thinking about something like this myself.

While I like Dragonstar I don't like everything... part of it is the mood maybe... or the look... not sure. But I would like to maybe have a more Spelljammer technobabble myself... I want starships to look more organic looking, I think I want guns, etc to be powered by magic, and spellware to have a weird steamtech feel. I think that this would draw some of my players into more and would make it "weird" enough.

Of course I am also going to change space travel to more of "enter hyperspace/astral space" where trips will take at least a couple of hours if not days... and there are raiders and monsters there...
