Date: 2022-03-20 02:05 pm (UTC)Similarly to how Scouts very nearly made me major in astrophysics, and the 3D star map in 2300CE certainly felt like a good idea in the moment.
(Much later in life I played Elite: Dangerous, which has a 3D star grid with ~.1 ly granularity, and a pretty good engine for working with same. It is not one whit more fun than a 2D hex grid at 1 pc granularity and a lot more of a pain to work with.)

And no cybernetic implants.
(Do not get me started on how much I hate cyberpunk.)

(That said, I like how Mongoose files down some of the sprues on CT, and would probably be happy running it. I'd just lean hard on the minus DM to Medic rolls that implants can cause, and completely cross out the virtual mining software in High Guard. (Seriously, Mongoose, why would you ever give characters passive income?))
