[QUOTE="MummyKitty, post: 2808941, member: 36179"] Traveller is the best hard sci-fi game that I've played. The background covers thousands of years of history and can encompass any kind of campain you can imagine from war, exploration, political intrigue, starship battles, etc. Tech levels can vary from caveman to far future. I'm partial to the "classic" timeline myself, which is either in the old books. The GURPS materials are an alternate version of the timeline where the emperor didn't get assassinated. If you play the GURPS version, you can layer on even more complexity with their Space rules. I like their plantary generation system even though it is fairly complicated. Traveller's is good for quick and easy generation though. As was mentioned, I haven't ever played Mechwarrior but the background material that I've read does seem pretty detailed and has a good hard sci-fi feel. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
