Still, it seems unrealistic to not use robots, or at least "remote hands" here at those TLs. Maybe the characters can play the robots via telepresence? They'd still be making the decisions, but one player might choose the small spider mechanic robot while another player picks the ST 500 Module Assembly model. I suppose you could Star Trek it and say that area of space has a nebula or an anomaly or there's just an extreme amount of radio interference for some reason, so they really need suits. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
