Post: RE: Eclipse Phase

Eclipse Phase is fairly comprehensive (I skimmed a huge encyclopedic document of theirs, so I'd have to say probably more so than OA), but doesn't really cover any topics that OA doesn't cover to some...

Post: Traditional "starship" inspiration conceptboard

Okay, I actually don't think I aught to add in any more, seeing as most of the MEECs would be too small anyhow. I suppose my map is ready in its current form.
