starports 101

[Jsmith031877]

I see the starport 101 topic has been closed since 2003. Is there any word on when or if the starport book will be made available?

I never got anything further submitted on it. If Shane or Liam still have any of the material on it I'd love to move forward with it.

I would love to see it. From what i've seen in the starport design 101 topic, this would definitely be something i'd like to get my hands on.

For what do you need Starport Information and what system are you playing?

There is always GURPS:Starports

No this was more along the lines of the types of businesses, encounters, etc. that you would find at a starport. Something G:Starports doesn't cover.

Totally different stuff I agree. So I suggest some classic literature for spawning thoughts:

Elisbeth Moon: Vattas's War has quite a bit on trading and various ports

C.J. Chereen (sp?): The various novels on the stations have trade politics

Poul Anderson: Polysotechnical League/Niklas van Rijn stories have some trader and port elements

Challenge, Hard Times and the Starship Operators Manual had some tidbits on ports and port service

There was/is a thread in the LoneStar forum about ports

The Starport project lives. Liam is deployed in Iraq (I think) so it is on hold until he returns.
That's the latest info that I have.

As Arthur has said, we have been working on it. But it's in hiatus now. (he's a bit of a perfectionist!)

Can someone shoot me a copy of the latest material from it?

[ravells]

Where should I send it to? There's rather a lot of it

 

[ravells]

sorry this post isn't taking...hunter if you give me an email address I'll send you what we've (by which I mean people on the project who know all the ins and outs of starports etc) got so far, but it's lengthy

BlackBat's got the correct spelling. Just FYI, it's pronounced "Sherry".
