I keep finding myself thinking about Silent Running after it got brought up in this forum in a thread about sci fi movies. I had seen it as a kid but had also forgotten it. I'm going to have to get a copy of the DVD or locate it on the net as I still cant really remember it in detail. Pictures of models of the Valley Forge on the net really intrigue me.<br /><br />At anyrate it seems to me that an ag ship that did not have the explicit purpose of growing crops commercially but rather was a "Island of Dr. Moreau" sort of thing but perhaps more with plant experiments (maybe some animals). Something not originating in the Frontier but alien. Domes with alien environments and dangerous plants and animals. Perhaps the inmates are running wild through the asylum. This could be pretty cool adventrue idea bordering on a dungeon crawl in space.<br /><br /><br />On a side note what would a sathar ag ship look like? the above idea would seem to be tailor made for the sathar but I'm not actually feeling the sathar on this one but that could change and I think there is a lot of creature material that could be ported over to the ag ship raiding all the sathar creatures from every source and that might be a good idea as it saves work. You also get the added benefit of a tubed sathar brain that might decide to activate the self destruct sequence giving the PCs limited time to get off the ship. (I suppose an alien ship not of sathar origin could also have this self destruct end game waiting in the wings too.)<br /><br />The ship should be big, cruiser sized or larger. Minimum of 8 domes and multiple paths of moving up and down the ship (no linear one way to go.)<br /><br />Working title is either <br />Silent Running from the Void <br />Or<br />Silent Running in the Void
