w00t, that is very cool. Fill it with a strong poison and you have a great assassin bug.

Quite so, yet it would be quite a different technological evolution branch compared to the basic SF universe (where miniutarization seems to be quite an alien -- no pun intended -- concept). 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,
Are you referring to images like this?


The tech is bulky and who uses gondolas anyway!

... 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 :)

explorers might as the gondola will save space and weight.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

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.

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?
