Some examples from a sci-fi game I ran:The team wanted to infiltrate a military space dock and steal a ship; this involved getting through the outer perimeter, sneaking through the complex, tricking their way onto a ship and then hot wiring it.Later on in that arc they had to break their way out of a military space station which entailed out thinking and out manoeuvring the space station defences.And at another point in the campaign the team were undercover as asteroid miners and during a mining mission one of the other mining teams had their pod crash - the team decided to rescue them, jury-rigging a way of reaching them, getting in the pod, rescuing the injured miners and getting back to their own pod in time to be collected by their command ship.Each scene was really fun to play out, the action was driven by the player’s decisions and the characters abilities.</blockquote>
