So /tg/ I'm planning on running a space game but I'm

You should check out Traveller.

Give us more details on your setting Anon, that stuff really matters.

Stat them in one system, tell them it's that system, but run them in another.

Epic.

Well I like combat a lot so something with a robust combat system would be nice. I guess I just don't know whats out there for non-franchise space rpgs.

I'm asking more about the history of your setting. Tell me about the planets the governments, are all the aliens Giants like in Macross?

For the most part, here seem to be the more common suggestions:

More down to Earth type stuff might be good in Traveler.

If you've got a Science Fantasy feel you are aiming for, Star Wars is good. You might want to hide the system from your players and ask them what type of characters they want to be in your setting, though.

If you want OSR IN SPESS then there is always Stars Without Number, but you might want to start at level 3.

I want to check out Titan's Grave. I think there's a Podcast of them using it.

Starfinder, from the people who made Pathfinder, is coming out. I don't trust the pedigree, but I did like the stuff that came up in their Livestream. It is on YouTube if you want to check it out.

Well I guess my players will be astronauts who are part of a first wave colony ship, sent to determine if a planet is habitable. They get stuck in stasis/chroyo and get found by an alien resistance to a multisystem empire. The resistance once to use that humans as mercenary fighters, since the humans belong to no known race the empire can't target specific people to counter attack. I guess I want the game to be about capturing tech, upgrading base, and looking for a way back to earth. Races are not fully fleshed out though one of the main resistance races I had been working on was a plant race.

Any special abilities? Or is it mostly just going to be guns and blasters?

>>51442780
Customizable mechs or exo armor would be cool. I guess Psionics are cool too as long as its not just rehashed magic.

D6 Space. Bonus: it's free.

Diaspora is exactly what you want, OP.

Don't let the minimalist presentation turn you off, it's a great game.

Stars Without Number is pretty good, it's also free.

Seconded, system creation is the dog's bollocks.
