Alternative Settings
Alright, we know that S&S was designed to emulate Star Trek. However, has anyone given any thought as to using it for other settings?
There are thirdly that spring to mind for me. First off, Raumpatrouille Orion would be a good fit for the rules, given it was a German space opera show that was quite similar to Trek. I'll say no more on this as I believe I've already mentioned that somewhere in this forum before.
Second, I would quite like to use S&S to do something very similar to the original BSG. The big, blank hex map in the back of the rules just cries out to be filled in with features as the PCs explore the unknown. Being pursued by an implacable enemy intent on their destruction would give the PCs a reason to go forward, while the new worlds would provide an interesting source of adventures.
Thirdly, I can't help thinking that a Mirror Universe version of S&S would be interesting to do things with. Mind you, I was tempted to buy the WotC Star Wars game precisely because they published a Dark Side sourcebook.
Any other ideas out there?
