I tend to see the rpg languages as families of languages, rather than just a single one - goblinoids might have different regional or racial dialects but can more or less understand each other, for example. You could have different languages for each race or sub-race if you really want too but I ...

I'm mentally kicking myself now - you had mentioned that before in the thread but I'd forgotten. Well at least I've given you a small list of skills to think about!

Traveller is a good set of rules but it makes no distinction between, say, knife combat skills and nuclear reactor skills - both are 'bought' at the same level and at the same rate. I would like to suggest that there should be a distinction between 'class' skills (skill packages that define a class ...

It does all depend on how much handwavium you care to use. I recall from somewhere in the dim recesses of my mind that the estimated power requirement for the theoretical Einstein-Rosen bridge (wormhole) was somewhere in the region of several suns worth for one trip. The power requirement should be ...

Agreed that it takes some of the more conventional space opera elements out of the game. One interesting idea from the books though is using a wormhole 'power tap' into the nearest star to power the wormhole system; using that for ships would mean they wouldn't need to carry vast amounts of fuel but ...

I'm just going to suggest a couple of sources of ideas - the webcomic 'SchlockMercenary' for the use of 'Fabbers' and the 'Commonwealth Saga' series by Peter F Hamilton for wormhole travel.
Basically, if you have stable wormhole technology anchored between 2 planets why bother with starships when ...

I think it must be down to the spells themselves - some of the ones available to the illusionist are more advanced than the ones available to the mage. If a mage and an illusionist were to cast the same spell then you might not be able to tell the difference between the two but the illusionist has ...

Similar indeed - just did a quick search after I posted and the moonbase in 'UFO' is located in the Sea of Tranquillity!

Have you considered that the Gerry Anderson TV series' UFO and Captain Scarlet share a vaguely similar premise to Space Corps?
Just wondering at large really if there were ideas there that might inspire material for this game.

When your players kill a monster then immediately whip out a calculator to work out what they've got, you know it's no longer about the roleplaying element!

This is why I liked BFrpg when I first read it and why I think few (if any) other OSR games even come close. The original AC/THACO rules seemed arcane and practically indecipherable to me as a beginning player but the BFrpg AC system is easily understandable, logical and can be worked out ...
