Not all rogue traders are rich.
I imagine many who barely make it from week to week.
Emperor, let Your undeniable light burn on the mishappen and twisted, so I can see them with pure sight, and purge them with righteous fire!

I suppose you're right, as well, that the Cpt. Jack Sparrow and Black pearl model would work admirably well for rogue trader, or for that matter the Jack Aubrey model.
It was actually Jack Aubrey that I was thinking about, but for the life of me I was too lazy to IMDB it and could not quite put my finger on it. Thanks for posting the full name.

Cheers. And three cheers for Relentless. I hope you enjoy the read.
Going well at the moment, even though I must admit getting a bit tired of the continual "Oh, it's so dark and vicious" central bit with all the crewbosses, etc. Ah well, it's just like "warfare" in most of the other novels, I guess—gotta get through it to get to the interesting tid bits.

I have to say, Kage, if you haven't read the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O Brian, read them. NOW. I get quite boring, frothy and evangelical about them, but I think they're an absolutely ideal source of concepts for Rogue Trader. The movie is good, but it's very much a "sawn off" version of the books.
By the way, the Anargo Sector project is looking fantastic at the moment, nice work, fella!

I second this comment whole heartedly. If you haven't read the Aubrey/Maturin novels, you have to, not just because of Rogue Trader, but because they're some of the best reads out there.

The Aubrey/Maturin novels were a big influence on me, definitely.

That's encouraging Mr. Watson. They really are fine books.

You know what...I have a feeling Rogue Trader is going to be something extra special!

Maybe I'll check them out, then. Unfortunately I'm going through a "down period" due to overwork, so perhaps they will inspire a new adventurous spark in me! Thanks for the pointer.

All we've done is changed the redirect to the forums to the partial, WiP Explore website, but I'm sure that the contributors will by happy to hear your well-wishing. Thanks once again.

I belive that quote belongs to Lightbringer, not to me, but I agree with Lightbringer whole heartedly.

Thank you, user 80554 (at this time). Please direct your angst at quotation glitch at FFG, since they're the ones that have these crazy, inaccessible quotation system.
Again, though, thanks for the positive comment.

You're wrong. Star Trek is cool. Star Wars is cooler. Battlestar Galactica (remix) comes close to beating them. Firefly owns the ball...

Damn straigh, and he DEFINATELY fired first. Curse you George Lucas...

So what do you guys think the style of Rogue Trader is going to be?
either:-
1. The Star Trek model
The players are the bridge crew of a vast and powerful vessel, kilometres long and with a crew of tens of thousands. Each player is a member of the senior command crew in charge of legions of independent soldiers/seers/priests. Play revolves around the responsibilities and moral quandries that arise from the bearing of an Imperial Charter into uncharted space, and dealing intelligently with aliens, lost civilisations and renegades.
You know, I was thinking the other day about the opening monologue from Star Trek in relation to Rogue Trader and I think I came with a way to rework it that would be appropriate for Rogue Trader.
Space... The final frontier...
These are the voyages of the Rogue Trader Enterprise.
Its continuing mission:
To exploit strange new worlds...
To seek out new life; new civilizations...and exploit or annihilate them.
To boldly go where no one has gone before...and make a profit.

One thing remains the same, the quest to score mad alien booty.
