I am working in something like The Expanse series by James S. A. Corey mixed with Jovian Chronicles. Mecha, elusive (and dangerous) aliens, lots of corporate intrigue, everything AT FIRST in the Solar System, uplifts, androids, Asteroid Belt commerce leagues fighting the Corporate Alliance, and a kitchen sink.<br /><br />I mean, I LOVE 50's Sci-Fi, but when I first read X-Plorers, that's what came to my head (and stayed there). Thanks for your postings, they really helped make my ideas take definitive shape on how to use the mechanics of X-Plorers to achieve what I wanted in the setting.Petras Furtadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958958741234293383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814812252925508004.post-41445837646869089742014-04-10T07:03:43.686-07:002014-04-10T07:03:43.686-07:00Yeah, it hasn't made the website yet.

So, since you've asked specifically, I'll post that skill here:<br /><br />Heavy Equipment (QKN) is the skill needed to operate things like bulldozers, cranes, dump trucks, fork loaders, 18 Wheelers (Commercial transport trucks) or tanks and APCs. Skill checks are required for avoiding problems during unusual or risky operation (speeding, chases, off-road, etc.).<br /><br />Hope that helps!Strange Visitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457017321895863797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814812252925508004.post-73903754740377819342014-04-08T19:48:12.164-07:002014-04-08T19:48:12.164-07:00Man, I have to say I am REALLY enjoying your X-Plo...Man, I have to say I am REALLY enjoying your X-Plorers articles, but - Heavy Equipment skill? where did you put it?Petras Furtadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958958741234293383noreply@blogger.com
