Besides the usual topical headings in the magazine do you have any ideas for other types of content? In addition to ideas you will have to come up with or ask for the content. :-)

Here are a few of my thoughts;
Comic - I have one sketched out, only enough for two issues. I didn't want to put it in then miss an Issue. If someone wants to commit time to helping out with ideas I'll do the sketching. 

Classifieds - Always love these and I have a few for 16 but keep an eye out. We need to see the return of Tordia and Groko, send in your ideas. These characters have made it into FrontierSpace, you'll have to search for them yourself. :-)

Melee Weapons of the Races - I'd like to see someone come up with melee weapons specific to each race. One of our artist can whip up a sketch if the description is intuitive. 

Reviews - Gaming aids, source books that inspire imagination.

Interviews - Anything in the sci-fi community. It supports our magazine and gets the word out, after all that is one thing we all desire, a revival of the game we love. 

Tech - How could another type of tech be used in the Star Frontiers setting? Stargates, teleportation, bio-computers, bio-ware, etc. 

Someone mentioned a Traveller magazine - does it have stuff we don't cover?

Here are the headings I have for #16, so far;
  • Adversaries
  • Character Races
  • Creative Refereeing
  • Creatures of the Frontier
  • Equipment
  • Frontier Classifieds
  • Frontier Fiction
  • Frontier History
  • Game Accessories
  • Game Report
  • Gaming Resources
  • Optional Rules
  • Spaceships
  • System Brief
  • Vehicles

RE: 15 web trolls excellent article on the humma proposed a tail mace for them that item could use some stats and in one of the SFman issued there was a laser hammer weapon that basically had an SEU clip and SEU setting but when you hit with it it discharged the laser upon contact. this same tech could be used in a tail mace

Perhaps we should start a new thread dedicated specifically to racial weapons? or just start racial weapon threads in the Core Four and Zebs expanded Projects?

Posting in the forums allows from more exposure, but I really like stuff in projects. Self contained.

self contained and organized and projects are a good place to work on developing something. Plus the racial weapon for race X might not occur to anyone for months and years and it would be preferable to not resurrect a dormant thread but rather start a new one.
