I just got GURPS Spaceships and the three add-ons. I’m going to review what they have on spaceship design and components and then decide on some of the tech questions I have been working on. I really like that SJG is making all the books available as PDF’s so that I don’t have to pay for those fancy hardcover books that are a bit over priced in my opinion. I want the meat, not the flash.

Hello everyone,
I have spent the last two days sitting at our annual family rummage sale and reading. I’ve been giving a great deal of thought to social structures within the Shakaroo Sector and have been doing some re-evaluation of the Trel and their role in this area of space. I’ve got lots of stuff racing through my poor little pea-sized brain, so I will be adding it to the ShakarooWiki as time permits. I think that in the future, I will be trying to utilize the SharkarooWiki far more than the old web pages. It is easier to update from anywhere and I like the way I can link articles together so easily. Plus, it is a format that almost everyone can relate to because it is the same software utilized by the famous Wikipedia.
Well that is all for now. I’m revamping FTL travel, looking at tech levels overall, and desperately trying to come up with interesting yet plausible cultures and societies with which to populate the Shakaroo Sector.
Until next time!

I have once again began serious work on the Project. I am reconsidering how I am going to handle technology and what is going to be available. I’m also rethinking star travel and ships. Will hopefully have some time to get this entered onto the website. Right now it is on paper and in my warped little brain.

Wow, this summer is just flying by. I thought that being home so much more this summer that I would have more time to get things done. Well, this is partially true. The problem is that because I have more time, there is now an exponentially higher number of things to do so I really have less free time than normal. Go figure.
I am currently doing some scientific research on FTL travel theories and also into how psionics might work and what their effects would be on society. This is interesting stuff to me and so I am enjoying my reading as well as getting some work done on the project.
