Preliminary reading did not reveal any severe flaws in the system itself. Worst case scenario: mediocrity.Ancient History wrote:Go for it. Everything I touch seems to turn to shit these days.
Your poor opinion of your skills as a writer is illogical.

Do humans have the tech for the equivalent of heat-seeking (or Azathoth-field or whatever) missiles?

I was mainly thinking of space-bourne "land" mines, as they'd need homing features to be a threat unless you use waaayyy more resources to get enough density.

I thought asteroid eaters were mostly found in the Belt. You could put out some kind of mine with a large radius "magnet" (probably cavoritic engine) that attracts itself to passing ships; maybe tuned to ignore any mass around it at the time it's set, with a radio-signal off-switch akin to the Io Sentry's magnetic mine. The overall setup isn't that complex, but I don't know how much such an invention would play into your presumed baseline for the tech/culture of humanity in the setting.

Yeah, I couldn't find a better astronaut pic and I gave up on the title after five hours of work because I have crap software

virgil, I'm guessing you have the most experience playing/running this, could you give me your thoughts on the damage/stress economy? Is damage something that crops up as needing to be addressed frequently out in the field and stress more as a downtime issue?

I mean, damage isn't something you generally address during downtime unless things are weird. As for stress, it's sort of like downtime, but I would more accurately describe it as a timer for getting things done; be it reconnaissance, travel time from A to B, handling a long-term investigation of an ancient temple, or withstanding torture until rescue arrives.
