Hello Johannes, when I think about a TL16 setting, Iain Banks' Culture setting always comes to my mind. Often his characters are almost-pawns who go where the gigaton GSVs would smash too much porcelain. > That would most likely be a post scarity ecconomy, > what removes a lot of reasons for conflicts. Nah, people will always find reason to quarrel. Anthony replied to Johannes: > Simon R Green is a master of purple prose.

Hello Anthony, I've decided to give the scoutship series non-ai, non-robotic computers, so the ships will do as they're told but don't try to overshadow the human (humanoid) player characters. Each TL up gives the ship another neat feature to make it more comfortable, and performance goes up a bit, too. Unlike the big TL16 exploration cruiser, which was more to establish a baseline, the TL16 scout singleship might make a ship for PCs -- it is called a singleship, but two or three would fit in without trouble. I'm thinking about little freighters next, with a nominal crew of two and room for four. The pricetag would be even more critical than for the scouts.
