I hope you do. It would be super cool if it was illustrated & stuff. The concept of interplanetary colonies is a subject that fascinates me. You know little details like what the ships look like, prefabricated shelters (both temporary & permanent)& waste removal (Its hard for me to imagine the federation using out houses & land fills). Survival gear like hunting phasers, civilian vehicles (tractors, trucks ext.) & other type things a new colony might kneed. As you can see I have though about this way to much.

Um, could I add "Do not under any Circumstances wear a Red Shirt" 'cos well, they really don't work for Star Fleet so I reckon it'd be REALLY bad for a civillian

If you do leave your homeworld without it, how screwed are you gonna be? LOL!

I would but time travel is still highly regulated by the Department of Temporal Investigations. LOL!

One of the things I like about your art is you don't always do the same thing. While modelling and rendering is an important part of what you do, there are times where you'll post something that is a full 180 degrees different.

Very interesting, are you planning a few pages of full content as well?

Actually, this is all part of my Polarisverse/Trek fanon/whatever. My mind is full of such things, I have somewhere titles for books banned by the Federation (and still printed illegally as samizdats), maps of sectors, even planets. If I had the time, energy and money, I'd definitely develop it up to a level that at least an RPG could be made out of it.

I'd have to say Dave that you seem to have enough infos now to create a good add-on environment for one of the existing RPGs, I'd suggest using FASA because of simplicity of rules and the ease of making addons. Why not give it a shot?

Like I said, no money, no energy. I'm currently busy getting a job...
