This looks very much like something I've been trying to write for a long time. Glad I looked at it! Thanks!

Heya. Thanks for the interest.

I realized I haven't posted a latest version in a while!

You can check out Version 0.81 here. Any comments, questions or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Great, thanks! Wilco! :)

Looking to play on Monday, just in case you have a new version coming up... ;)

Awesome, good luck! Sadly, it'll be a while before 0.82 is in any shape yo be published; as you can see from the other threads, going through some pretty significant changes (no more Crew moves in careers, Crew are now a type of equipment, changing the source of player starting rooms for the ship, changing the names and refining the descriptions of the stats, etc).

Looking forward to hearing how it went.

New version up, and it's a doosy. I really thought that things would be pretty stable from 0.81, but I'll be damned, all you playtesters really hammered this thing into shape. v0.82 is the result of that. Still lots to do, but I'm very happy with the overall stability, balance and new options.

Version 0.82

It's late, been working on this non-stop for the past 4 days, I'll post a detailed changelist later tomorrow.

Also: happy Canada Day, folks :)

NOTE! The old version of 0.82 is no good, you need to grab Version 0.82 FIXED

Yay! Version 0.83 is up!

Quick start rules seem like a very good idea. Especially if they are balanced against fully customized characters, so that they can be mixed in a group (I often play with some RPG newbies and some veterans).

How come you decided to take out the Artificial origin? It's so cool! :)

The Quick start characters will indeed be pre-generated full characters. I'm still looking into how to lay out the character sheet and such.

As for the Artificial origin, I'll quote myself from the Q&A thread :)

So you may have noticed in the latest rules, I removed the Artificial Origin and the Cybernetic career. To me, there are certain classes and origins that absolutely need to bend or circumvent the rules in interesting, splashy ways in order to do justice to the archetype/expectations. Robots, Cyborgs, Clones, Aliens (enlightened, warlike), Mutants, Psykers (empaths, kinetics) all fall under that category. So I've put all of those aside until I've got the basic rules solidly down and released, before I start breaking the rules in a supplement. Also, I want to make it clear that all of them are optional, their existence in the universe is to approved of by the table.

Right, good call.
