Story from FSBG: It is the year 2280 earth made contact with many different alien species making the desolate space of past into a habitat crawling with different species but all is not well, many different wars were caused by the Xenophobia of earth in their past. ---- During the bloody war between the newly inter-planetary Human federation, and the Midor-Fandor Unified nation; as the land battles rage on. (Also if you want to revive FSBG I can do that) In space, even worse ones occur. The Humans in their ignorant ways have declared war on the Fandor and Midor whose first intentions were to establish colonies and trade posts and now raise mighty armies. You will play in a small single seat fighter and make ends meat in the army, and then eventually have ships of whatever class you please.
Races: Fandor-Midor Unified Nation --------------------------- Midor: Tall, red aliens with long faces and slender bodies, they are super smart but weak. Their space tech is by far the best in terms of weapons, all their ships are bristling with guns, and their ship armor isn't bad either. But boarding is almost nonexistent (Boarding is of importance). Live to 250
Fandor: Almost a brother race to the Midors, they are human sized with very broad shoulders and a pig like face, their skin color varies from green, to dark grey. stupid and barely have any armor on the ships, like they were held together by super glue and duct tape and the weapons are fair, but almost undefeated in boarding with their awe inspiring melee weapons. Live to 150.
Human Faction ------------- Human: Great ships, with strong armor and fair weapons and below average at boarding.
Helghast: They have a completely pale white complexion and are much slimmer than humans this is a slave race, under the grateful control of the Humans who they shall die for almost a foot shorter than your average human. Super advanced armor on the ships building off of human tech with fair weapons and weak boarders. Live to 40.
Mercenaries ----------- Malkien: Mercenaries, fight for any side that pays they are foot taller than the average human, pale purple-blue complexion, with long prehensile tails with cat-like eyes. All around average. Live to 120.

if there is any you're still not clear on, just ask me.
And my game now tuat i read through ablot of it (last night) really wasnt too difficult. Despite all the races and extra crap on the OP i had a general flow of events to follow (not forbthe player, but for the galaxy to follow) and i was goingto judge people to get involvedin it but never force. Essentially, the OP was mainly for my own reference more than anything and to disguise the true purpose of the whole game
Loco, for example behind my Space fleet i was making missions up on the fly back then and only slowly working towards big plot points after beefing up each player to survive it through unimportant crap.
Loco, I know I suck as a DM, but I still try. At first, my methods sucked ***, so i did my best to fix them. In fixing them, the freeform aspect was ****ed, so I fixed that. Next, my missions became incoherent and lacked direction, so I planned to fix that. Now, I'm going to borrow an actual book so I can learn what to do and how to do it. Get better, don't ***** about how you suck.
Then you can still make it linear., but more flexible and not a giant snowplow. Working towards the way you lime it, would you really want to play if the GM made you fail building a house not because you lacked the materials or skill, but because he doesnt want you to l have permanent residence?
