 May 10, 2011 - 9:19am | First there were linguists- bright individuals with years of training, highly paid and in high demand in the emerging Frontier. But Greed is king and in an effort to grease the wheels of commerce the emerging Pan-Gal corporation paid a dralasite linguists to develop the common trade language Pan Gal. This greatly facilitated both commerce and communication. At about that time new computer programs were developed that allowed even novice linguist to be almost as effective as the masters of their craft but with computer support. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Oh humans!!  We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |

May 2, 2011 - 2:40pm | The questions a game developer should answer, are just as valid for the players. 1.What is Star Frontiers about? Identifying what Star Frontiers is to you, could help answer when Star Frontiers is no longer Star Frontiers to you. Oh humans!!

Why the artist chose to depict the Mechanons like walking pinball machines I don't know, but whatever. My version of a Mech can be found here http://ragnarr.webs.com/rimcoalitionraces.htm#734177384 So what's YOUR Mechanon look like? My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
April 27, 2011 - 7:09pm | Star Trek was famous for these: giant space omeba's, energy clouds, and mechanical dooms day cones Farscape sort of had this with the living space ships. Empire Strikes Back had mynock and asteroid space worms variations of this theme would be minefields and probes that do things to the PC's ship (all done by Star Trek one time or another) Whats your favorite space monster? What space monster's might work for Star Frontiers? elements of the Bugs in the System module could qualify for this, sort of.

April 27, 2011 - 4:22pm | .....is a truly iconic station. Oh sure it has plenty of space stations and even a few have name but there is nothing in the Frontier that invokes the imagination the way names like Babylon 5 or Deep Space 9, or even Moss Eisley or Sector General from the James White novels (though that was a Galactic General Hospital) There was an effort to do something of the sort for Star Frontiers with Star Base Hellhound http://thehound.tripod.com/index2.html Also I think Shadow shack did something along these lines with his Mercenary Star base set in Zebulon I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

April 20, 2011 - 3:15pm | Was at the library today and wondering what I could donate to wipe out about $20 worth of fines when it occured to me that I had the complete collection of the Planet of the Apes movies in VHS. While watching the most recent movie that I check out of the library an adventure idea occured to me: Planet of the Yazirians, though my idea is sort of Planet of the Apes meets Shogun Basic premise is a space craft from earth reaches the home planet of the yazirians at a point prior to them attaining space flight, maybe way before they discover space flight.

April 19, 2011 - 5:43pm | Was going thru my piant studio and discovered 2 blister packs of tholian ships for Star Fleet battles and thought they'd make good vrusk ships pictured are 2 hvy cruisers, a war cruiser and a corvette  also ripped off the top of a pez dispenser of a death star and mounted it on a base  I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
