 August 8, 2012 - 6:46pm | Maybe I'll have to get me a copy of Halo  . If I only had the time.Ad Astra Per Ardua! My blog - Expanding Frontier Webmaster - The Star Frontiers Network & this site Founding Editor - The Frontier Explorer Magazine Managing Editor - The Star Frontiersman Magazine |

 August 8, 2012 - 8:18pm | That was awesome. Now I need to put 'the flood' in my campaign!!! |
 August 8, 2012 - 11:43pm | This is how I felt when I saw Babylon 5. B5 has the Star Frontiers feel to me. Halo? I don't get my Star Frontiers feel when I play Halo. Halo is a great game, but a different feel to me. -iggy |
 August 11, 2012 - 12:11am | I played HALO with my wifes cousins a few times. I never got hooked. My son loves the game though. I see the ideas the author is suggesting but I have never felt that way about any video game, that is seeming or being like SF. Iggy, B5 was a favorite of mine for a long time. I see it as a different twist on Star Trek, Star Wars type themes. I think that Firefly has more elements of Star Frontiers than other sci-fi shows or games. It has the same frontier feel, and at the same time a "civilized" society. It just doesn't have any of our favorite alien characters in it. |
August 11, 2012 - 6:12am | @Karxan I agree with you that Firefly is even more SF than B5. B5 is SF to me in the way that the alien races are all in an easy peace with each other because of a common enemy. I'm also basing this on the first season where the story was predominately human tech and the alien tech was just out of reach to the humans. I am ignoring the jump gates as a necessary plot device. However, I have long been in discussions with my brother about how we could make SF 1%C jump technology work with some kind of jump gate. We have not yet settled on a jump gate that still feels in place for SF. -iggy |
 August 11, 2012 - 8:47am | I liked the fact that B5 had them travelling in hyper space much like one of the cannon versions of SF- I dont personally go in for instantaneous void transit. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 August 30, 2012 - 3:57pm | Mass Effect has much more of that SF feel to me. Cogito ergo sum; I think therefore I am. Batty [Blade Runner] I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die. |
