Put simply: I want to play in this setting again. I really liked my character and seem to recall that magman and Mike enjoyed their's as well (Tulk and Steg respectively.) So I am encouraging the players in the group to step up and urge Gigermann to work on this game. Advantages: - The setting, while mostly generic, is open enough to incorporate all sorts of awesome sci-fi stuff. We've got our Firefly stuff in here, and Mass Effect, and Traveler, etc.
- There's plenty to do in just this star system - it is the "Gateway" to the rest of the human worlds, and there are criminals to deal with, and pirates, and politicians (although I probably already said that with criminals and pirates), and other stuff.
- I know that Magman stated once that his character wanted to be in charge of a mercantile empire ... this is the game to do it.
- For most of the players, characters already exist, and for the others, there are several characters (NPC or former PCs) that could easily be taken over (and tweaked as necessary.)
Obviously, this will require some actual work and/or feedback from the players, but I can coordinate that since I see Giger every day - as long as we keep him supplied with ideas and direction (which I'll do my part for), we can push this forward. So help me out here, guys and gal. Let's get an awesome space game back and running. Please.

YES! I love Sci-Fi, it is where my real interest lies in the whole RPG thing - not that I dislike other settings, I just love me some sci-fi...
So Giger, doooooo it... just let me know what I need to create a character and it will be done within the week!

Take a look at The crew manifest and figure out what kind of character you'd like to play. Currently, the three players in the group who have firm characters are: - Me. I'm playing AJ Trent, who is the ship captain and pilot.
- Magman. He played Tulk, who is the guy in charge of security and our super business dude.
- Mike. He played Steg, who is essentially the Muscle.
I'm pretty sure that zenwolf had a psionic-based character, but I don't know how attached he is to him. Giger and I discussed this over lunch - mmm, Genghis... - and he mentioned centralizing it in the system we consider Home - Midway - where we can do all sorts of awesome.

Ahhhhh!!! Yes! I want to play! My character shall be named Chesty La Rue, chief computer repeater officer who can pick up on overly expressed emotions!
No, but seriously I would like to play a Doctor/Science Officer if that's okay.

Heh. We currently have an android doctor ... maybe we could get Giger to let you play her.

Oh and Nate has been bugging me to tell Rigil that her is a jerk for letting it be known he went to Ghengis grill again and that we all should go sometime.

So help me out here, guys and gal. Let's get an awesome space game back and running. Please. Yes, I have been wanting to play this game since it was first put forward to me 4+ years ago ;D I'm pretty sure that zenwolf had a psionic-based character, but I don't know how attached he is to him. Yep I really want to play Miles in an actual game. So put me down as a firm yes. However, in the interests of full disclosure, mental "bandwidth" is currently low. I'm working lots of overtime and buying a house. Closing date is March 19th and overtime should end this week. So please don't take lack of replies is the coming weeks as lack of interest, just a full plate.

Just so you know, this ain't gonna be happening next week or anything; no rush.
If everyone really wants to make this happen, I'm going to demand that everyone pitch in a little. I'll try to go easy on you, though. Details as I get them.
As discussed with Rigil: I do have some ideas/plans on how to make this one happen, and I think it's doable.

We will be able to use our old characters unchanged Basically, yes; I presume you'll want to look it over, first, and maybe make some tweaks, though. We'll need to establish what everyone's equipment budget will be, too, since the continuing characters have some extra cash lying about.
