I've always thought that in Sci Fi RPG's that the buildings should harken back to the culture, instead of the bleak structures often portrayed. I was playing with what buildings would look like for future oriental, future Greek (future Rome would work, too) and future Danish/German/Swiss. Never got too far, but would like to see your take on it

I'll more than likely design ground vehicles/troops, aircraft, and other materiel for this. I love architecture, and if I do any buildings, integrating tradition Roman architecture into the building designs will definitely be a priority.

Extremely interesting concept. I'm on a bit of a kick regarding tabletop scfi games. I'm using the paper minis from Worldworksgames.com (Wormhole and wormhole vs) coupled with rules taken from gamesworkshops free battlefleet gothix rulebook. VERY fun.

alright, finished writing that four page short story, with really horrible text formatting! I'll proofread the story, and then hopefully start testbuilding later tonight.
NOTE: The short stories will contain strong language comparable to that of a PG 13 movie. If you plan to show this series to your kid, I highly recommend you censor some of the language.

alright, base and railgun are built:

For whatever reason the focus on my camera got buggered. Sorry for the poor quality. i'm gonna go hit the hay; so I'll continue this tomorrow.

And done! Just gonna rewrite the short story, and do all that lovely stuff that comes just before uploading.

Okay guys, I swear, I'm gonna get this thing up by the end of the weekend; so sorry for the delays! In the meantime, have some schematics for the ship
