If you're looking for a lightweight space gaming system, you could check out Stars Without Number: Revised Edition. The full rules are free on drivethrurpg. I never played Traveler, but others have described it as Traveler without baggage.
@geekischade I'm not really looking for systems, except that I'm always looking for systems. I've bought more systems than I've played, because it's an area of interest to me from a game design point of view.
Realistically, I'd probably play Traveller, GURPS or possibly Space Master (this one mostly because I know RM rather well).
@jens I really enjoyed it. I just reread it a few weeks ago. I want more stories in this universe, but I understand it’s come to an end. The novellas were quite wonderful too if you haven’t read them. The final one “Sins of our fathers” was soso but I might have just been mad it was over.
@jens I still run into sci-fi nerd friends who haven’t heard of it much less read it. It’s wonderful actually the ones who go down that path they fall in love.
My favorite novella is probably The Churn about Amos
@reconbot What annoys me (in a good way) is that I've wanted to make a similar setting for RPGs. So on the one hand, I don't need to now that it's good as it is. On the other hand, it's doing some things I don't want to much (protomolecule related). The gripping hand is, it's excellent inspiration!
