you beat me to it. i was planning on doing exactly that.If you guys want more detail and discussion about your roots, the Gf, then that's fine. Also, if everyone agrees to the 'mini game', we can have a forum where we detail the worlds we came from, and the cultures there, in return for points.
tell me if i'm seeing this right, because this is how i thought of it: a big, monolithic government that controls the majority of the galaxy, but that is still finding new races and incorporating them, and in which several races have yet to join. the only war would come from primitive backwater worlds, and would likely draw the attention of the federation if it became at all widespread.There hasn't been war within the GF for hundreds of years, so sure, there have been disputes about territory and all that jazz, you can put whatever you want in your history and that's fine.
black and white pictures have alot of grey in them. basically, even though "black and white morality" fiction is pretty cut and dry, there is still room for complexity in morality. which of course you know, just saying it so that people don't get the wrong idea and devolve their plot ideas.I am very much trying to hit the feel of old black and white pulp sci fi epics. Lensman, if any of you have read it, the original star trek, battlestar galactica, heck, even star wars, to a degree.
i like the mix/match tech much better. and if you have to make one anyway, a builder would be great. but if not, then don't worry about it, as i'm very certain we can muddle through.So yes, on to the big decision. The more I think about it the more I like the idea of setting up a 'better' resource for ship design. i am going to have to do so anyway, merely to be able to create a variety of ships and vessels, such that they would be representative of the tech levels and ideology of the races that you'll encounter.
also, you could use many of the same devices for bio or magi tech, just changing the way they work a little, adding new limits/enhancements, etc. you don't necessarily have to reinvent the wheel. also, though i haven't looked at all the rules, i don't think converting the money to a point buy is really all that necessary. though from what you said before, power drain stats are likely a must.
a whole herd of pudu. other than that, i like it. sounds like a fun character.Here's my background so far. Any recommneded tweeks?
