Sci fi RPG systems

posted 10 months ago

Looking to recreate the feel of Firefly, The Outer Worlds, The Expanse, or similar, in a ttrpg that is somewhat leaning to the hard sci fi side. Any thoughts?

I’ve been poking Traveller but it’s hard to tell what the definitive versions are. Also Stars Without Number looks interesting.

I’m particularly looking for ship based stuff – where the ship is statted and you can have ship to ship combat.

Looking to roll my own setting, and this one is too attached to the 40k universe. Which is awesome, just not what I want. Too much mysticism and woo :)
