{EDIT} WOW IM STUPID, Shiva Option is from Starfire, wow im figured out now! Gotta go read two sets of books haha
Sadly, I've only read "The Shiva Option" but i think it would be really cool, once this is all done to some scnearios, like the start of the bug war (before Shiva) and then some mini scenarios, like the battle for Justin (and put these mini battles in 3 or 4 system galaxies) or the attack on Home Hive 1 and the retreat/ambush. or the battle where they meet the "old enemies" Star Federation?
Also, how are you going to do things like primary packs? i wish you could specify what something targets. What is the grav lance? Is it the little projectile that accelerates to something like 30% of c?
While anyway, i'm terribly confused as to which universe shiva is set in and where all the rest of the books fall in. If someone coudl please set me straight that would be lovely.
And one Last thought... You could make gunboats (jump capable of course, but not able to be held in ships racks
) by requiring only a bridge, or a specific component (cause you really don't need to living comps, you could make one of them into Life +crew quarters, and the other into something else you want to require) adn then set them at a low size with inherent move bonus' and other stuff.
More questions, i just can't stop... how about suicide riders, both SRHAWK and the bug Versions that are LC's(?) and what about interpentration? I guess some of this has to be given up because this just can't be done with the current engine.
ahhhh, of to find more of the books...
