Sounds like they supported your transition but not your homebrewing skills, so at least their hearts was in the right place.

The weird part is that it only works if you transition

The reason I knew about Impulse Drive is because I buy those huge itchio bundles that are put out every year or so, if you are in that habit you might also own it :P

I have not played any of these, so this is less of a reccomendation and more listing things that you can look at, and ask other folks if they agree its better suited for you, but I’ve heard of a few games that fit some ‘extremes’ of sci-fi roleplaying

Scum and Villainy probably being the most famous, having a Forged in the Dark style of gameplay where your characters are rogue-ish underdogs, constantly on the run, striving for each job to make them last a few more days

Farflung With a post-scarcity, lighthearted style, where you’re travelling, romancing, exploring, creating and living among the stars with your crew

and Impulse Drive for something that’s more middle of the road. You have a crew taking jobs and exploring, but they aren’t as scrappy and struggling, but also aren’t as free and lackadaisical

Okay but for reals, the Dross orcboi is insanely goals

Right now I’m playing Lancer and I really wish I had another campaign to try a different build/corpo. Not that I am unhappy with my choices or anything, but the more I build into what I want, the more I look at other mechs going “Hmmm…kinda want to try that too”

For something that’s not as ridiculous, I really want to play some goddamn Masks. I’ve been thinking of running it, after the book gets a proper publishing in my country, but I also really want to play.

I almost always want to play some Masks, but still.

Wow, that’s a lot of strong words just because you don’t get it. Its based on Lancer, and yea, its going to sound like non-sense for anyone that doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

you’re right, it is! I’ve edited to add the website source as well!

I always make my characters have both parents alive and well, and generally from a good home, if not an entire good region as well. Both my current Lancer and Fabula Ultima characters get into issues due to generally being who they are, and not necessarily from being raised in dire circumstances or having a tragic background.

Heck, one fun contrast to me is that my Lancer character is a young-ish noble who had everything she could want, and decided to venture out in the stars half for the thrill and half to spread her family’s reputation, while the rest of the party are more mature and jaded adults who don’t know any other type of life. The fact that she could stop at any point and go back to a comfy life isn’t a drawback to the roleplaying, its a plus and adds more good conflict between them.
