Hello,
I am very new to the RPG world. I have only had the Narrator's Guide and Player's guide books for less than a week. I am working on creating my series out of the Narrator's Guide. it says in chapter 2 that I should use Chapter 9: Starships to create my starbase. I have looked at chatper 9 and to be honest none of it makes sense.
those of you that have played the game a while, could you please help me out. Can you provide me with a break down of how to create what i need and give me info on what all the systems are. I have looked at the different posts on this site about star bases, but as of right now none of it is clear. I found this post on Star Base 73 from a while back. maybe this could be used as some sort of common reference:
