I can't wait for this game to get here! The first thing that I am going to do use to design a Halo campaign. I love the game. The novels, while they aren't excellent, provide a lot of ideas and insight into the world.

The game would have:
cyborgs
aliens
AI
large space craft
small space craft
ancient cultures
should be fun.

StarFlight II meets Wing Commander "Privateer", with Star Trek, and Star Wars races tossed in for good measure.
 


If my AU campaign ends sometimes (be it because I lack ideas or interest), I might try a mixture of Earth:Final Conflict (the series based on Gene Roddenberry) and the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun storyline.

Basically, at the end of the 21st century or the beginning of the 22nd, several major events happen:
o Psionic abilities are proved to exist and can be trained. (Possibly a result of some kind of spontaneous evolution, but maybe not)
o Genetic Engineering produces advanced humanoids (a touch of Genetech)
o The first faster-than-light engine is developed, called Warp Drive (based on theories about spacetime alterations)
o A planet possibly inhabitable by humans is discovered, and first FTL probes are send.
o An alien race, the Taelons, contact Earth. They offer a peaceful relationship, though nobody knows their exact plans.
o Tiberium is discovered
o Terrorist organizations rebell against the Taelons, distrusting their intentions.
o At some time, Earth is invaded and humans have to flee, finding a new home or a way to get Earth back.

I am going to reduce the space still available on my rpg shelf. :p

Also, if I can find players interested in it, I could well decide to go for a Amethyst campaign. However, I am tired of DMing, and would like to be player in that one. It's very unlikely I will ever find some DM interested in running it for me... :(

I'd really like to convert a bunch of stuff from the old Ringworld RPG and do a Known Space campaign, or a vaguely hard SF game in the Aliens/Traveller vein.

Unfortunately, the one group of mine that might consider playing d20F will probably want to some sort of SW/Flash-Gordon-with-the-serial-numbers-filed-off thing. In any case, neither campaign will get run and we'll stick to D&D. :)
 


Star*Drive or something similar, with references to dozens of science fiction books I've read tossed in.

Most likely I'll cut back on the tech level a lot, and put the aliens on an equal footing with humans (sort of like the way the Minbari, Centauri, humans and Narn were mostly balanced with each other in Babylon 5).
