        Will most flight take place overland in things like speeders and cloud cars?

        Hopefully not, as the Driver spec for that sort of thing is in one of the other books.

          Since this is on a single planet, will there not be space travel? Or much space travel? I know one of the Edge of the Empire classes is a smuggler, and you often think about smugglers with ships. Will most flight take place overland in things like speeders and cloud cars?

          There will be space travel, but it's uses will be limited to a few destinations and plots/PRPs. Travel will mostly be in land-based vehicles (and some airspeeders and cloud cars, but they're scary for reasons). I've not fully fleshed out how we'll do off planet, but if you have a ship, you'll definitely need to come up with a reason why you're choosing to stay on the toxic hell-rock that is Chontio instead of just... leaving.

            Another update!

            We remain on-track for our December 1 opening. It'll be rough, I'm sure, but it'll be there. The grid is almost all the way desc'd. My to-do list is very short. The only major issues code-side have been resolved by me (look at me, tinkering with Ares code! It's just so dang easy!) or with updated from @faraday (who has been super duper awesome).

            All that's really left is for me to finish a few theme write ups (University of Chontio, The Force), complete the character creation guide, then stare at the Gear and Weapons system and sigh and shake my head and frown and sigh and shake my head.

            If anyone was holding out to see how The Force would be used here on Chontio, we're going to end up sticking pretty close to the Edge of the Empire book. Force powers are kinda neat, but for every force power there's likely a career talent that can do it better. Which is to say: The Force is low power and is more a story element than a game-changer.
