advancement

Character advancement Basic Characters start as heroes and their power level is not supposed to change a lot during the fairly long campaign. Gaining points The base rate of gain is about 1-3(2-4) points/session. Get 1pt/2 hours of play, but in beginning two points/session go to a special store that you can use to buy things like bionics, special powers, special training and similar increases. In act 3 and onward only one point goes to the store.

aliens

Aliens There are about three dozen total known alien intelligent or semi-intelligent races. Most of them only live in their home system. There are six alien races with larger areas either inside or close to the area claimed by the Empire. The relations between humans and most of them are mostly neutral, though the Salarians and the Empire have a mutual defense treaty.

A common thing among most other major races is to not have separate scout ships and frigates, instead use a corvette size ship for both roles.

Combat Basic notes Armor is of limited use, as most weapons can punch through most armors, but it is good to have it as it limits the amount of damage you take. Use of cover is essential. If you cannot get cover, concealment will also help as it is hard to hit targets that are not visible.

Gibraltar-class This is a low-cost way to build a giant monitor: Take a small asteroid, hollow some of it out, and add drives, weapons, and electronics. The ship uses a 1,000,000-ton (SM +14) unstreamlined hull that is about 200 meters across. Nearly half the ship is nothing but rock – due to its thickness, it can take a lot of pounding! The monitor is primarily a missile ship, but has powerful beam weaponry as well, and a large hangar, which lets it double as a semi-mobile spaceport.

Simple objects Simple objects don’t require much maintenance.
