Starbound: What Do You Want To Do In The Future?

[gothwalk]

So I'm working on this science fiction setting, Starbound. There's a post coming up on duekstreet.org wherein I'll tell you some of what I want to do in it. Meantime, though, I want to do some market research. What do you want to see and do in a scifi setting? Some bits are preset - it's going to be epic-scale, stretching across many solar systems, and high tech. It'll be used for short stories, maybe even novels, possibly comics, and certainly RPGs. Give me a wishlist.

(I'd really like to see a lot of responses to this, by the way - even if they're just "Die Shatner Die", or "I want lots of dakka", it's all grist to the mill.)

Most excellent. Here's what I wrote earlier..

I think I'll like this.

Having read what you've written there, just to throw in, it's a bugbear of Chris's that the star trek universe had little or no travel apart from the fleet. Where's the trade and logistics? The holiday goers, or the rich just wanting to show off? I know not every place will have the volume some star wars planets have, but there has to be a happy medium somewhere surely?
Also, I *love* the idea of non-instantaneous communication.. the fun a GM could have with that...
