Rules (wip):
I was thinking use the rule system and home brew the story and setting. I rarely use the written setting for a game system, I don't want to have to become an encyclopedia of someone else's fictional universe, lol.
What I worry about us having to reskin stuff non stop. Like, imagine using the Star Wars RPG as your basis, but playing in an Expanse-like universe. All the character feature relating to The Force need to be replaced with... Uh, protomolecule powers? "I use my protomolecule infection to force cho, I mean, psychic choke uh... What universe are we in?"
But you're right. I could probably look at the ruleset and cherry pick good ideas and transplant them to Traveller or something. Maybe they have excellent asteroid cities I can translate or something :)
