When I'm done my Leaving Cert I'd like to reboot my 1050s RP, maybe set 100 years on, and/or revive Sentinel's Cloud Abyss. That one had an awesome setting.

Yeah. The biggest problem I see with it is the whole "drawing cards is supposed to be random" thing. Also, keeping track of decks of 40-60 cards might be a hassle.

Nah, screw franchises. We need an original space opera. I would make mine, but I'm still working it all out in my head. Fucking massive.

Or hell, maybe just a good ol' Bughunt with ALIENS.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

I don't want to play in a space opera. They're boring and uninspired.

Mine would be a mystery/space opera mash up, with the first half being a whodunnit with an insane amount of Red Herrings and Chekhov's Gunmen, the second half would be conflict, eventually culminating in 'a war in heaven', as the safe haven for the surviving species of the universe and about to enter the void to escape the destruction of the universe, would be slowly infected as cultists spread throughout the entire system-sized ship and spread their tainted ideals and instigated a war with the goal of destroying all life of that universe.
Not to mention there will be awesome physics-breaking technology due to it taking place seven million years in the future, where the remaining seven races are power houses that once had empires spanning across galaxies and the voids between them until the stars all died in a horrible explosion of gamma rays that purged the majority of life in the universe, save a few holdouts.

Also, as a spin on most Science Fiction, synthetic life, robots, would be the saviors of humanity, twice.

Mecha does, indeed, make space opera better, but space opera makes mecha worse. It's kind of a trade off.

Yeah. That sounds like everything I've ever seen before.

How, it's nothing like on the forums, and is far different than Star Wars, Warhammer, or Halo. The only problem I'm currently having is the ending.

As for the races, they range from the absurd to the ungodly. Not to mention I'd be reversing the stupid trope of machines always rebelling against the humans.
(Thinking of there actually being a background war that took place millions of years ago, when humans, paranoid that robots wished to kill them all, started a random war against them, in which the machines crushed humanity, but instead of killing humanity off, stayed their blade, as the creation had advanced beyond the creator.

As for the technology, the ship, their lifeboat, would be the size of the Sol System, nine billion kilometers in diameter, holding hundreds of thousands of surviving planets that survive the death of the stars and were capable of supporting life.

E.G. Mankind itself has become a race of gods. Technology has advanced to such a level that lesser races would view it as magic, not technology. Of course, they're not alone, and other species have survived (six in total), are equal, and in some cases, superior to mankind's advancements, and are also fleeing the universe in the system-sized ship.

Meanwhile I will be filling it up with so much symbolism and references that you probably won't catch it all.
