They were quite hard to come by until recently. A small press, can't seem to find the name in my memory banks, republished them as a six volume set. The original space opera for all intensive purposes.

Right you are. This is the granddaddy of them all. One of the all time classic scifi series and one to which all games in this genre owe a large debt. I vote for a Lensman mod.

Republished in the mid-90's as:
History of Civilization Series
Trade Paperbacks, Old Earth Books

The series:

Triplanetary
First Lensman
Gray Lensman
Second Stage Lensman
Children of the Lens
Birth of a Lensman
Galactic Patrol
The Secret of the Lens
Masters of the Vortex
Z-Lensman

Anyone seen Narn or Centauri sets yet? I don't know which one I want more, Centauri so that I can play them, or Narn so that I may destroy them. You know the old joke about what is the only good Narn...

Vir! You have made a mess of this post once again, now give me a large cup of brivari so that I may begin to forget the bad times and remember the glory of the great Centauri Republic.

Well how about a Skylark series of ships. They would be perfect they improved the tech with each model had tremendous weapons and even had cloaking if I remember correctly. Its been quite a few years since I read that series.

There also were a few Lensman books written more recently (only 20 or 30 years ago) that continued the series somewhat. I remember at least 2 there may have been more. They were not by EE Doc Smith though.

1)The Starfire Universe - to which Malfador thanks for inspiration.Terran,Khanate,Orion, Arachnid etc.Rigelian - there would be an AI, xenophobic homicidal carrier junkies.
2)A fleet or fleets from the "Honor Harrington" space operas by David Weber.
3)Battlefleet Gothic - I wonder if manipulated images from a digital camera would work?
4)The completed Trek races. Not the Feds needed - thank you Atrocities.

Mac, don't forget the Thebans. Gotta love those crazed boarding sleds of theirs. Not to mention their shipboard bombpumped X-Ray Lasers. Crazy bastards flies around detonating nukes inside their own ships. I want to do that too!
