Liked the depiction of the auto doc working on a person, interesting to see and not leave to the imagination. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 22, 2016 - 4:10pm | Besides the autodoc, you clearly had mega corporations rigging the system to keep people poor and beholden to them. Chris Pratt had valuable skills so he got a reduced ticket to new colony 120 years (flight time) from Earth in exchange for high credit prices for services used on ship and 20% of whatever he earned for rest of his life going to the corporation. It's like the company towns around a mine where the company store ensures that the miners can never get a head. Perhaps this is a theme that could be explored with SF. Capellan Free merchant attempts to land and trade with workers on a mega corp planet. Company is not amused. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
