     Okay, I am building a few ships (3D 1-1 scale that can be used as a map) and I have a few questions.
      I know I am over thinking alot of things but I want to use as much real world Science and engineering as possible along with a healthy dose of Science fiction.
       I've been reading the past forums and find a lot of it Enlightening. And that some share my view on some things. So I want to pick your brains on things. 

     How thick should a hull be. From the inner walls to the outer skin.
    Gold is for the mistress-silver for the maid-copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade.But Iron-Cold Iron- is master of them all

    I was looking to add a little spice to generic cargo tables. Not much fun hauling around assorted ores, minerals, and ground cars. What sort of interesting items can you come up with? Let's start with the category of ROBOTICS: ACCESSORIES/ATTACHMENTS 

    Whirby Vacuum attachments for domestic service bots

    Earlier this year in a PBP game I considered having my character get a shot of stim dose to justify his long active hours in game but discarded the idea as I thought the GM would disallow it saying, "Thats not how you use stim dose." It wasn't like it really was going to have an impact on the game as there didn't seem to be a penalty for not sleeping.

    Post in as much detail as possible how you would change the scale of the KH board-game from 10,000 km hexes to another scale. The goal is to allow cinematic fighter combat (fighters zooming around larger ships).

    Or consider keeping the 10,000 km hexes and add special rules for fighters in the same hex as larger ships.

    Best post wins a prize!

    • How important (in your campaigns) is it to keep track of Life Support and Fuel consumption?
    • Do you require Player's to track their ships maint costs and fuel costs?
    • Do you simply abstract these? The information on the Ship Record Sheet is for fun/reference only.
    • Anything else you want to tell us?

    Here it is I was working on some adventure ideas for zine submission and I was stealing basic ideas from some classic Sci-fi movies. It seems if I was going to rip off classics then Forbidden planet should be in the mix.
    Yet I was just stymied as to what to do with its premise.
    So lets see if the community can come up with to flesh out the adventure.

    Forbidden Moon:

    The latest class of rescue scout is dispatched to rescue a stranded scientific expedition on an inhabitable moon.

    I "appropriated" this idea from the SF.org forum. It isn't an active topic over there but it sure is a decent one, so I'm ressurecting it here:


    What is your fondest SF memory?


    We used to have sleep-overs every weekend or two for the sake of RPG-ing until dawn.
    I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out
