Looking to recreate the feel of Firefly, The Outer Worlds, The Expanse, or similar, in a ttrpg that is somewhat leaning to the hard sci fi side. Any thoughts?

I’ve been poking Traveller but it’s hard to tell what the definitive versions are. Also Stars Without Number looks interesting.

I’m particularly looking for ship based stuff – where the ship is statted and you can have ship to ship combat.

      I like Green Ronin, in general, and love The Expanse as a setting. However, I want to be in a homebrew setting rather than in The Expanse. I suppose I should have said that in the original post.

      The Expanse started as an RPG setting, which is an interesting bit of trivia :)

        I was thinking use the rule system and home brew the story and setting. I rarely use the written setting for a game system, I don’t want to have to become an encyclopedia of someone else’s fictional universe, lol.

        I had no idea! That’s so cool!

        Anyway, it looks like you wouldn’t be interested in Firefly RPG either.
