Not that this is a fault, none at all -- it just wouldn't fit into a classic setting without some storyline tweaking. But thanks for sharing the picture of course!

clikkclikk June 19, 2012 - 5:11am | ... yes, yes, and oh so many others, as well as tech specs: Just have a look at the computer grade/data storage space details ... otherwise it must be a 5D-library they are referring to in the rulebook :) Last game played: Somewhere in the 80th (Vrusk by heart) -- fond of Jugger, a "post-apocalyptic" sport |

w00t (not verified) June 19, 2012 - 8:36am | The tech is bulky and who uses gondolas anyway! explorers might as the gondola will save space and weight. I agree. I actually think it's cool that older tech can be mixed with newer tech. Imagine the headache of having to tote around an entire mechanic's bay just to fix an Air Car. |
rattraveller June 20, 2012 - 7:26am | Think we might be getting into Steampunk territory. When they wrote SF it was with the idea of taking the current technology and expanding it into a future technology. Steampunk tends to take current technology and back it up and use the technology of the time to make it work. Like clockwork robots. Now what current tech could we take and bring back to the 80's and then upgrade to the SF tech level? Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
