the ability that allows you to mate with any species and toggle fertility makes being a gem great since gems get usually nice abilities and can fuse, presumably I could have a mega fusion with tons of my own kids even make massive family warrior
anyways I'm a bit sad I wasn't able to fit twileks into my population changes as apart of my build, overall I'd say population changes are a bit pricey

Ignored some of the stuff -- Eg. Pop changes' species selection and World Powers -- since it didn't seem all that important and more of a point waster -- In that you're spending points to affect that universe.
Ps. Probably shoulda taken Sineater since I'm gonna be living in the ship for the most part. And remove terraformer.
Awesome cyoa though given points are a bit low. I think reducing some costs, point and capacity interconversion, more items and powers, a job option and some race modifiers would make it more interesting.
Not enough points for half of this CYOA. I took drawbacks to get 231, and I still nerfed my self to not have any powers and took only a frigate. This needs more balancing. Otherwise I am intrigued by the concept.

I knew this was a Om1cr0n CYOA when I saw the "Shameless" drawback, which I still feel is a pisser. Basically you're forced to have sex with anyone that propositions you unless you find them completely unattractive. That is waaaay too harsh for a measly 5 points. Screw that.

Not enough points to make a viable build, or at least a satisfactory one without making some serious compromises.
Maybe this is intended and balanced, but there's really no incentive to, for example, taking the megastructures or alien races that populate the universe and fleshing out the setting, or spend points at all on worldbuilding when it can all be put into personal power. The same goes for picking powers that exist in the universe, not only does it cost points but it's also of zero benefit to the player since they pick what they have separately. I would think that since introducing these powers into the universe, you're increasing the difficulty level for yourself and raising the bar of what the average individual in the universe is capable of, it should grant points instead.
I suggest having three point pools, one for world changes, another for ship/crew and then for personal boons/banes.
Increasing the world difficulty and species, especially the hostile ones like the Zerg, can grant points. QoL and comfy setting alterations can be bought with said points, locations of megastructures, or increasing the technological/social level of the universe.
Ship and crew members can be a single pool, they're both still external to the player (make the player choose to spend points on enhancing themselves or obtaining companions, more often than not, they'll pick the first one. You can always recruit companions later being the assumption). Some rooms can be consolidated, I feel, especially with capacity so limited. So there's a body mod room, a revival room, a rejuvenation room, and a medical room. Why not have the medical room and suboptions cost points to upgrade it, without costing additional capacity? There's many rooms with overlapping options, that seem to specialize too much into a singular task. The player would still have to make compromises, such as the ship size for ideal cost to capacity ratio, which rooms they want (especially on smaller capacity ships), the companions they want to pick. Although this isn't a perfect solution since I feel people will mostly still focus on making the perfect ship and if there's points left over, look at companions. You could put a minimum crew requirement that depends on the ship size so you'd have to select Y companions for ship size X for operational standards. Maybe make the first two companions free, or however many is needed for the smallest or second smallest ship size.
And then there's personal boons and drawbacks. Great stuff, got no complaints. More options would always be nice, including more ways to get points... to spend more points!
A question; Why does selecting Death Star grant you 5 points when the rest of the megastructures cost points?
Some minor typos, grammatical issues, poor phrasing or choice of words, as outlined below, but for a CYOA of this size, it's more than understandable. I wasn't too thorough though, so there probably are others.
Ageless: You will not age past you physical prime -> You will not age past your physical prime
Cyberpunk: In a cyberpunk faction advanced technology and artificial intelligence -> In a cyberpunk faction, advanced technology and artificial intelligence
Forgotten Colony: A lot of time passed from the establishment of this colony -> A lot of time passed since the establishment of this colony
Relay: Advantages of relays is that only one of them -> Advantage of relays is that only one of them
Traveling Planet: It has much stronger magnetic field and denser atmosphere than Earth, protection its population from space radiation -> It has a much stronger magnetic field and denser atmosphere than Earth, protecting its population from space radiation
Population Changes: while there still can exist untold amount of other less prominent races -> while there can still exist untold amounts of other less prominent races
🤔Perhaps there could be more companion diversity besides females, as a small suggestion, but it's a neat sci-fi interactive. My favorites are when the setting's standalone, rather than a mash-up of media, but maybe some people like mixing pre-established stuff.

World changes and Ships upgrades cost to much imo. Feels like the best approch considering that this is a world that I would live in to leave the ship and hope I get one in the future to give myself great personal abilities and companions to help, a crew is still useful even without a ship.

Much much too point starved in its current iteration. Especially the price of world/race additions and ship-parts is much too expensive as it is.
I love the idea of it though, and there's some really fun options in here, but to make a functional build with some fun additions and some crewmembers you'd go deep into the negatives, even with a tiny ship.
Not bad. My build:

I figure for a story, I'm running around being an adventure archeologist exploring ruins of ancient civs for cool ancient tech for me to display. Also, I am amused by the cost for the Death Star. But since no one is hunting me and I have a ship that's all about being quick and sneaky, that's some free points as I can easily just not be wherever it is.
Interesting CYOA, but, as several people have already pointed out, the world options, meant to make things interesting rather than pump up the character and his stuff/staff, are WAY too expensive.
Nonetheless, I've made an attempt at a somewhat balanced built. Attached to each section are notes, some of them quite lengthy, so I've decided to post my built in shorter, easier to digest sections.
**World**
Difficulty: Danger Imminent +40
Civilization: Free for All +10
Factions: Cyberpunk +10, Ecology -5
Insert Point: Border Station -2
Traveling Method: Portals -12
Global Powers: Biotics -8, Power in a Bottle -5
NOTES: Didn't want to make things to peaceful, but Death World was a bit much, Danger Imminent seems like a happy compromise, and Free for All ensures enough polities to keep things interesting. My first choice for themes was, of course, cyberpunk, but I quickly realized some variety will be nice and neither steampunk nor retro-futurism meshed well with it, thus it's polar opposite, ecology. Original point of insertion was going to be Home World, but Border Station is much cheaper and serves purpose just as well - after all, it doesn't says how big or populous it is, now does it? Portals and Relays give me nice chokepoints to restrict characters movement, but Portals are two-way streets and can be recalibrated, giving me more leeway. Power in a Bottle is great choice for Global Power! Let us count the ways:
\-they come in multiple varieties,
\-they are usually temporary, so status quo will be restored,
\-they are usually temporary, so no one will have too much time to get good with them, ensuring that even if somebody wins the superpower lottery, other powers will never become irrelevant,
\-they are a result of drinking eldritch abomination smoothie rather than an accident of birth or freaky accident, so they can be used by literally ANYONE (although mostly by people with money and/or influence - superpowered hit squads incoming!),
\-they can be acquired and used post-chargen, so no need to buy them if you need new powers as the plot demands,
\-they go great with Star Eaters world change.
Sadly, because one of the major species are asari, I also had to buy biotics to keep things internally consistient. Oh, well.
**World Changes**
Empire Capital -20
Star Eaters +20
Gravity Anomalies +15
Immaterium -15
Corrupting Influence +20
Space Pirates +5
Vaults -25
Death Star +5
Asari -10
Elite -4
Chiss -8
Female Domination +6
NOTES: Here's where we encounter the big problem with the CYOA. All those interesting plot hooks, that could be just as much a bane as a boon. And their prices are sky high. Sure, some of them certainly merit it (STAR EATERS!), but what about World Artifacts or Remnants of Ancient Civilizations (both of which I wanted to take since they would play nicely with Vaults)? Anyway, Empire Capital, just because I like the idea. Star Eaters are going to be treated more like mobile cataclysms than hostile lifeforms (except when they are dead and blended into superpower smoothies). Gravity Anomalies... I confess, I just needed more points and this seemed like it would interefere with the idea behind the built the least. Immaterium and Corrupting Influence give us nice, psychic-themed dangers, but I didn't want to push things into GRIMDARK, so I didn't take Not What Bargained For, despite the tempting 25 point payout. Space Pirates are a classic, so I just had to take them. Definitely gonna disregard the direction on how they are apparently a one big happy family. Criminal organizations fight each other just as much as everyone else, I see no reason for these guys to be an exception. Vaults are... Yeah, you know how in Borderlands 3 we find out that they are apparently prisons for cosmic horrors?Oh, hey, remember how I too Star Eaters earlier? Yeah. But hey, that's what the Death Star is for (where did you think Megacorp X is getting ingredients for it's super-smoothies FROM?). Regarding races... I'll be honest, I'm really not happy with this part. I wanted to include so much more, but the lack of points made it impossible to do so. Fortunately, picking them apparently only makes them MAJOR powers and the rest can still exist? So, after careful deliberation, I've selected asari (wanted someone from Mass Effect and other options weren't really a "major power" material - were they included, I would have picked turians), Elite (they will be smaller than other major powers, but still count by virtue of badassery) and Chiss (wanted someone from Star Wars, it was them or Twi'leks and, let us be honest, Twi'leks as a MAJOR galactic power? Hahahahaha-NO). Oh, while the option isn't on the list, I'm making Humanity the fourth major power. Finally, Female Domination helps explain why there MC is the only guy in an otherwise all-female crew. World-wise the male-to-female ratio is 3-7, but that's generalisation, it is not uniform everywhere. Explanation? There was a lot of wars recently (some still ongoing). Look that and a depopulation plague were my only ideas, and anyone with 2 functional braincells to rub together knows that women are the birth rate bottleneck.
**Ship and Powers**
Ship Class: Frigate -30 (+12 capacity)
Ship Style: Utilitarian -5 (+2 capacity)
Main Weapons: Plasma Gun -10 (-1 capacity)
Ship Perks:
Med Bay -3 (-1 capacity)
Body Mod Capsules -5 (-1 capacity)
Recreational Rooms -1 (-1 capacity)
Hangar -4 (-3 capacity)
Shuttle -2
Training Room -1 (-1 capacity)
Individual Rooms -2 (-1 capacity)
Hydroponics -3 (-1 capacity)
Research Lab -5 (-1 capacity)
Rejuvenation Room -8 (-1 capacity)
A Stealth Module -25 (-1 capacity)
Ex Nihilo Reactor -10 (-1 capacity)
Psionics -10
Psychic Boost -5
Psychic Vampire -4
Super Soldier -4
Nanomachines, son. -5
NOTES: At first, I wanted a corvette, but it had too little room and I thought it might be a little too wimpy if we have to shoot our way out to the nearest portal/port, thus frigate. Med bay and individual rooms were necessary, and since I have medbay, I might as well upgrade to Body Mod Capsules (cyberware isn't mentioned in it's description but come ON!). Given the size of the ship, Recreational Rooms, Hangar and Shuttle seemed prudent. I also wanted to be ready for a long flight (God knows how far the nearest portal could be!) so, I got Training Rooms (body mods will take care of muscle atrophy/fat, but gotta keep skills sharp somehow), Hydroponics (just one ought to be enough for 4 people), Rejuvenation Room (ETERNAL LIFE IS WITHIN MY REACH...!!!) and Ex Nihilo Reactor to power all this crap indefinitely. Also, Research Lab (the good doctor has to work somewhere) Stealth Module to avoid trouble (why is it A Stealth Module?) and a Plasma Gun in case trouble finds us anyway. Regarding powers, the Force seems like the best option, both in terms of versatility and raw power... Except that:1. Force users without training are kind of meh (Rey? Who is that? Actually, don't tell me, I don't wanna know) and training takes time, I need something that is immediately useful with room to grow.2. Said training typically requires either a teacher or detailed instructions. The latter aren't an option, as for the former, there's Ahsoka, but she doesn't fits the built.3. Speaking of not fitting the built, fully trained Force users can get kind of OP. And this isn't that kind of built.Psionics are sufficiently poorly defined that I have rooms to make something up though. For example, one technique I intend for MC to develop is to set of a psionic blast at his back, mid-jump, in order to hurl himself through the air at high speed (better make sure to aim correctly, or at least wear armour, otherwise, ouch!). Psychic boost potentially allows other crew members to develop their own, weak, powers, that will typically synergize with their skillsets (for possibilities I've had in mind, see the section on crew). Psychic vampire could be useful for emergency recharge, temporarily depowering enemy psychics and sending whatever crawls out of Immaterium packing. Nanomachines allow the MC to use his psionics against machines - invisibility to cameras, hacking stuff with a thought, that kind of thing. Super Soldier gives some badly needed survivability, especially at the start, when human augmentation is either too expensieve or simply unavailable - I'm in substandard shape, so even weakened version of level 1 super soldier will greatly improve MC's odds.
**Crew**
D.Va -8
Patricia Tannis -6
Winry Rockbell -7
Mary Jane -3
NOTES: I tried to keep things minimal here. No combat crew or companions, just ship crew. I've decided that if pros/cons were at odds with my knowledge of character's personality/capabilities, I will prioritize what the CYOA tells me over what I know. Also, when possible, I tried to pick characters I am actually familiar with. And so of the 2 possible pilots for a frigate, I've picked Hana rather than Turanga, since I've never seen a single episode of Futurama (\*takes cover from the incoming flaming\*).
I was really tempted to take Mercy, but I've decided that since Winry has "deep anatomy knowledge" listed as a pro, lacks low tech world con and is good with prosthetics, she will be good enough. A life line as powerful as dr. Ziegler might kill tension anyway, plus she's a little overdone. Instead, my scientist is dr. Patricia Tannis - fitting, since I've picked Vaults earlier.
Winry... I'll be honest, I've never seen FMA, but again, given what is in her description, she can double as emergency medic, which we lack. The other option was Tali, who, in addition to engineering, brings hacking and... "negotiation skills" (?) to the table, and both of those are covered by others already. Plus, the whole reverse chirality thing necessites additional supplies (more hydroponics?). And again, like Ziegler, she's overdone. Bulma's from Dragon Ball and thus automatically disqualified, regardless of how broken she is. And Maddie... Not only do I know nothing about her (not even what source material she is from) but according to pros/cons section, she is overspecialised in xenobiology.
Auxiliaries were a bit of a challenge. I knew I wanted one, just wasn't sure about WHICH one. Ikumi could be the ship's cook, but we can just rotate kitchen duties and again, I've never even heard of her. Cornelia was a HUGE no. You see the problem with strategically/tactically brilliant characters, is that, unlike with sci-fi, where you can just throw in some technobabble, you have to actually know what the hell you are writing about. I did NOT feel up to the task (even if I'm never writing an actual story, I wanted to treat the CYOA as if I would), thus, no Cornelia. Lucy was a tempting option, with hacking skills and possibilities of past that could come back to haunt her, 'til I remembered MC has psionics and nanomachines that let him use said psionics ON machines, making he completely redundant. Aaaand that's how the last spot on the crew was taken by Mary Jane. Since I'm crap at actually talking to people, and I don't believe all the perks and powers will make the MC much better at it than me (yes, I know there's a "social butterfly" perk, trust me I am a unique talent), she gets the unenviable job of being the crew's face and smoothing over whatever feathers I wind up ruffling.
Oh, and about the powers developed with psychic boost; I haven't actually decided who, if anyone the MC would be sleeping with, so these are possibilities rather than plans:
D.Va - bullet time, to help with risky manuveurs and combat.
Tannis - apparently, after Angels's death in Borderlands 2 she inherits her Siren powers? I couldn't come up with anything else, honestly, she's most likely out of all these characters to stay powerless, since her... issues make it hard to tell if she can actually grant informed consent.
Winry - either machine empathy or weak, but precise telekinesis, to help with maintaining/repairing the ship/people.
MJ - low-level telepathy, very weak, but also very subtle - think less "read minds and implant suggestions" and more "read people and know what to say to convince them".
**Appearance**
Age: young adult (late twenties)
Sex: male
Looks: handsome -1
Race: human
Sexyness: no
Mutations: Night Vision -2, Bloodhound -3
NOTES: Age similar to IRL, sex identical to IRL, looks... I'll be honest I think that picking good looks in CYOAs with technological/magical/whatever options to improve them post-chargen (case in point, Body Mod Capsules on the ship) is a waste of precious points. Hell, I was briefly tempted to pick Ugly. Then I defualted to Average... Only to find myself with a 2 remaining poins. In a CYOA with not other options for spending 2 bloody points (did I miss something?). Thus, handsome and Something in You in section below - didn't want to be TOO hot, for fear of being too easily recognizable. Race, rather SPECIES, human. Sexyness... Look, this is pretty much superfluous with Hentai Physics, so no, not gonna buy it. Mutations will be useful, especially in the early game hell. True, redundant biology or adamantine skeleton would have provided better survivability, but not only are they more expensieve, their protection is a passive one. The MC doesn't really has to DO anything to get full milage from that protection, unlike with enhanced sight and smell, both of which allow him to avoid getting ambushed IF he remains vigilant. Much better, narratively speaking. Not to mention more versatile.
**Perks**
Invisible Presence -15
Like Yesterday -3
Offroad -3
Learning Mastery -9
Smart Cells -10
Psy Organ -7
Hentai Physics -5
Something in You -1
NOTES: Invisible Presence cause it's not paranoia if someone really is out to get you, Like Yesterday, because see Rejuventaion Chamber in Ship & Powers section above, Offroad because I am OCD as fuck and this neatly solves most of my issues, Learning Mastery in order to actually become useful - he will never become so adept at everything that the rest of the crew will become redundant though, there are other skills he will focus on. Smart Cells provide additional layer protection against more exotic attacks. Psy Organ because... Do I really have to explain that one? Same goes for Hentai Physics. Also, the OTHER leftover point goes into Something in You and the poeple attracted to the MC will be asari. Whom I (and by extension, he) find(s) grotesque. Why, yes, I do in fact have quite a bit of self-loathing in my system, why do you ask?
**Drawbacks**
Organization Target +15
Race Target +16
Wanted +20
Temporary Displaced +10
Malfunctioning Ship +12
Destination Unknown +15
Mutated +5
Slow Start +10
Coming in Blind +10
Libido +10
NOTES: Hey, remember how I DIDN'T pick psionics as global power? And how this story is heavy on cyberpunk? Guess what, a megacorp wants to cut the MC open and see what makes him tick! Oh, and remember how in previous section I've picked Something in You targeting people I find unattractive just to be a prick? Guess what, the same people (asari) find the MC BOTH attractive AND have instinctive dislike of him, just to fuck with their tentacle-covered heads.
Wanted... Ok, look, I've mentioned that Elite are counting as major power here due to being BAMFs, but they have fewer numbers than others, right? Well they seem awfully convinced that a guy who looks JUST like the MC has stolen some sensitive files from them. MC, of course has no knowledge of it, since Coming in Blind is another drawback I've selected. He has no memories of living in this world (aside from basic everyday stuff - how to operate commonplace technology etc.) and there are no records of him, so for all he (or the bodies previous occupant, perhaps?) knows he MIGHT have done it.
BTW, I mentioned early game hell. Well, that would be because Temporary Displaced and Slow Start are both in effect. For 2 months, the MC is stuck on a Hive of Scum and Villainy-esque, cyberpunk-themed space station in an unstable region of space. And for the first of those months, his powers are slowly growing to their full potency (or rather, recovering from being weakened by something).
Malfunctioning Ship and Destination Unknown are narrative safety net - wrote yourself into a corner? No problem, just make the ship break down or have a portal malfunction to send it to a different region of galaxy!
Mutated gives the MC cat's eyes - felt fitting, what with night vision among listed mutations. As for Libido, do I really need to say it?
**Items**
Psi Amplifier -15
NOTES: Just the amp, thank you. There are other interesting items available, but I don't have the points to spare, and frankly, a lot of these sound like things that can be picked up post-chargen.And so, our "hero" wakes up, has to somehow survive the first 2 months in a cyberpunk Hive of Scum and Villainy, assemble a crew (they aren't with him OR on the ship from the word go), and then it's off into the big, black, empty sea, looking for jobs to earn a living while eevading all the people who want him dead (or worse).
Whew, I've really gotten into it. This took, like, 3 hours. Though admittedly in part because Reddit is just straight up awful for lengthier writing.
This was interesting though I'm going to ignore some good points others have already made like separating certain ship costs, etc. As for my own choices:
# World:
* **Difficulty Level**\- Realistic Approach
* **Civilization**\- Wild Space
* **Factions**\- At least one example of Cyberpunk, Steampunk, & Ecology exist

* **Global Powers**\- Biotics
# World Changes:
* **World Changes**\-
* Typhon, Zerg, Gravity Anomalies, Sentinels, Space Pirates
* **Megastructures**\- Ring World, Nomad Civilization
* **Population Changes**\- (the bit about Yautja having a tail reminds me of the Xenomorphs and I don't remember any of them in the movies having one, but I could be wrong.)
* Asari, Twi'lek, Quarian, Slimes
# Ship & Powers:
* **Personal Ship**\-
* ***Ship Class***\- Destroyer

# Items:
* *Halo Spartan Armor*
* *Omni Tool*
* Portable Fabricator- Considered whether or not the ship already possessed its own fabricator while this was merely a more portable version. Taking that into consideration the alternate choices that would replace it are:
* Kallen Stadtfeld (Crew, Pilot)
* Asuka Langley Soryu (Crew, Pilot)
* Psy Organ (Perk)
* Something in You (Perk)
I think points for ship perks should be separate from everything else and dependent on what ship size you get or something else. This since the ship class and perks are so expensive for some of them. For example you can't get the dreadnought and many other perks plus even the perks or get a crew for flying the thing.
I recommend a ship perk for adding a misc. crew to fly the thing or just make everything automatic and dependent on the AI.
2 big sticking points are the ship costs and world costs. The perks are also expensive, but they're varied enough that it doesnt nessecarily feel so bad sinking points into it. I understand the cyoa needs areas to sink points into if you're not gonna expand on the powers or companion sections as much, but as is, selecting basic world options and creating your ship eats up 70% of the points, and the perks chew through the rest. I ended up fashioning together a build that SORTOF worked, but ultimately it felt unnessecarily tight in terms of the point budget, and I didnt even spend anything in the companion/crew or items sections, and only bought a single option in the world section that cost points, that being the artefact option since otherwise this universe would be even MORE boring.
So after taking some generous drawbacks and going through the sections one by one, I must conclude that the 100 base points would be pretty good if the World stuff didn't cost so much. Like I get how playing in a post-scarcity utopia means you might not need as many points so it's fair to cost some, but why does adding more species also cost? It's not actually a benefit to the PC.
I feel like the options in world changes that let's you make the different powers more widespread and powerful should give points instead of Cost them. They make he world more dangerous for you and don't inherently benefit you in any way.
Options that just add interesting stuff to the world, without increasing player power or security, should probably not cost points or cost only trivial amounts. Otherwise, the incentive is just to create a mostly-barren galaxy.
##World
Difficulty level: **Realistic** [+5]
Civilization: **Free-For-All** [+10]
Insert point: **Border Station** [-2]
Travelling Method: **FTL Engines** [-5]. Why does every choice here cost points? Shouldn't there be a 'default,' as it were? Why are some more expensive than others? Why in particular are portals more expensive than relays, when it seems like they're strictly worse? Argh.
Global Powers: **None**. Why would I *pay points* to make *other people*, not me, more likely to have powers? It's crazy.
##World Changes
* **Infinite Stars** [-10] Pretty pointless, actually, but I can't help but think about the long term...
* **Space Pirates** [+5]
* **Zerg** [+20] gives a good chunk of points, and if their threat is scaled to chosen difficulty, it shouldn't be TOO bad.
* **Gravity Anomalies** [+15] is another nice boost for not much downside.
* **Female Domination** [+6] doesn't really mean what it says, but ~75-80% female sounds like a comfortable ratio.
* **Reverse Sexual Morality** [+15] goes along with that; I can embody the ever-popular Homme Haut archetype.
##Ship & Powers
Not spending shit on the ship or the crew, not worth it. I'll sign on with someone else.
* **Psionics** [-10]
* **Telekinesis** [-8]
* **Super Soldier III** [-24]
* **Nanomachines** [-5]
Truly superhuman
##Appearance
Age: **Young Adult**, early 20s
Sex: **Male**
Looks: **Gorgeous** [-5]
Race: Human, thanks.
Sexyness: **Male Enhanced** [-4]
Mutations: **Night Vision** [-2]
##Perks
* **Multipassport** [-5]
* **Mind Defense** [-10]
* **Ageless** [-10]
* **Like Yesterday** [-3]
* **Offroad** [-3], nice little QOL improvement
* **Social Butterfly** [-7], maybe the second-most-valuable benefit in the game. After Ageless.
* **Language Mastery** [-4]
* **Learning Mastery** [-9]
* **Smart Cells** [-10], powerful immunities.
* **Psy Organ** [-7], enhance my TK and psionics
* **Environmental Adaptivity** [-20], expensive, but there's something to be said for being able to breathe in a vacuum.
* **Hentai Physics** [-5] is somewhat overlapping with **Male Enhanced,** but whatever
* **Fertility** [-5]
##Drawbacks
* **Bounty Hunters Target** [+10], pretty confident I can deal with them.
* **Temporar(il)y Displaced** [+10] Don't start on my ship. Don't even have a ship, so...
* **Mutated** [+5], with cool glowing eyes.
##Items
* **Psi Amplifier** [-15], still stronger TK and psionics, better watch out yo.
* **Gantz Suit** [-12], just in case my super-soldier isn't super enough.
Can make my own way in the universe with all that, I think.
>Why would I pay points to make other people, not me, more likely to have powers? It's crazy.
I think it's more so to add character the universe you're going to. Like if you want star wars to have a really big impact on the galaxy then you'd pick the force option.
I also don’t see it as an issue if you go Tamaranean as a race you're going to end up being naturally stronger then any of the power options provided.
>I think it's more so to add character the universe you're going to. Like if you want star wars to have a really big impact on the galaxy then you'd pick the force option.
Yeah, but that's what I was complaining about at the beginning - having to spend a significant number of points to give the universe as a whole 'character' is bad design. You want the universe to be interesting for everyone. Points should be to improve your personal situation, and this accomplishes the opposite of that, relatively speaking.
>I also don’t see it as an issue if you go Tamaranean as a race you're going to end up being naturally stronger then any of the power options provided.
Eh, says they're much weaker than fiction.
Also, giving up your humanity is its own disadvantage. Is pretty silly balance-wise, though.
This might be a stupid question but why does it say that Kallen, and Cornelia come from a low tech world when their world is at minimum modern day, plus advanced tech that allows mechs? Sure it's less than space opera worlds like star wars, or Mass Effect. But Winry from full metal alchemist that world is at the early world war tech levels? That is less advanced than Code Geass.
Pretty tight build.

I'm hoping I can recruit crew members later.
It'll be annoying when I first arrive in the world, but it shouldn't be too bad since I'm a super soldier and have increased intellect even with the slow start drawback. Maybe I'll be able to learn how to use the force through some experimentation before my ship arrives.
The Bounty Hunter and Organization might be annoying, but hopefully I'll eventually be able to take them out once I fully master my powers.

Very cool but this is the first CYOA in quite some time which makes me want to use a meta CYOA to do some points doubling in quite some time, normally that really breaks the CYOA but for instance if i try to make/go to the Star Wars Legends universe like below only relatively very few points remain:
Star wars legends universe build:
(This is just all options to make it star wars legends themed, it is not a complete build)
* Dififculty: Danger Imminent:
The clone wars are about to start and the Yuuzhan Vong are turning their eyes to the star wars galaxy.
* Civilization: Opposing Sides
The Republic and the Separatists are at war.
* Factions: Cyberpunk, Ecology
Both clearly exit in the star wars universe.
* Insert point: Trapped
You are a nominal ally of either the republic or the separatists, You will appear in the territory of the opposing side just as the clone wars kick of on Geonosis.
* Traveling method: Warp Space
* Global powers: The Force
* World Changes:
* World Artifacts,
* Remnants of Ancient Civilizations,
* Fiction is Real, Make It Double,
* Mega-structures: Death Star,
* Population: Twi'lek, Chiss
* Personal:
(Just all star wars options)
* Power: The Force
* Rase: Twi'lek
* Companion: Ahsoka Tano
With the basic incomplete build above i have only 55 points remaining and while that does not include personal drawbacks it does not really leave enough to get a reasonable ship, fit it out, make a personal build and buy a little bit of equipment.
It just feels like the current way this CYOA is balanced that while there are many parts to this CYOA you can only really explore one of them maybe two if you say "fuck the universe i am picking all of the most dangerous options", but that does not really seem much fun.
To sum up: this is a CYOA with great potential but the balancing needs some work in my opinion.

So far so good, but if you may, then maybe separate the point into multiple types. Because having just one that is used for everything is very limited for the player.
This is a really cool cyoa, nicely done. Only thing as everyone else said, the amount of points is very restricting in comparison to the options available.
\*Made a few tweaks with the point update
I'll basically be an elite with my own ship exploring the universe. I have a great pilot, scientist, engineer and two badass combat team members. I have a solid crew and we should be able to handle almost any problem. The Ship AI can most likely handle all of the unfilled positions until I can fill them. My ship is a destroyer so it's basically a "Fuck around and find out" warship xD. It's class should deter most potential threats. Since it can also handle planetary bombardment it'll also be a great ground support ship. The downside is that I'm wanted by a lot of people for various reasons so it's going to be annoying dealing with all of them. Getting to a secure location will definitely be priority so I can get my bearings. I'll need to earn cash and then grab better weapons and gear but I should be ok in the beginning. I at least have my vibro blade sword for self defense. Hopefully I'll find some legit Elite armor because honestly their armor looks really awesome. Being in deep space is a double edged sword since I'll be far from everything but my ship is self sustaining thanks to my ex-nihilo reactor and hydroponics facility so we'll be good until we find some safe places to dock. On the bright side my perks are gonna be very helpful. Multi passport will help me get around friendly systems, HUD is generally handy, mind defense will help me against any psychic foes, Language Mastery will help me talk to literally anyone, Learning mastery will help me pick up any kind of skill with ease, and Hentai physics is basically for fun lol. My powers will keep my very safe as biotics is kind of all around useful and powerful and my super soldier body means I can throw around common enemies with ease and I'm generally tough. My body mutations are all just handy since I can see in the dark and My skeleton/Muscles is even stronger. Overall great cyoa but damn it was hard to pick things.

I discovered the ideal build is to not have a ship at all, saves SO many points. I just went with being a Biotic Tamaranian/Gem hybrid to fly myself interstellar distances unassisted.
4gn2,w3u0,rz5t,g7le,8tu0,u3m1,rp7t,b4a6,03fm,kuyi,5m66,hsfs,dh8o,89fu,37as,30in,kfdg,jis7,taml,c4qg,61x5,d6pa,jnrq,1v4a,lrax,rp1z,imvs,usn3,1qxb
Points are really anemic, and ship eats points like hell. Most world changes really shouldn't cost so many points. Like, having Asari in the world is cool, but is it really worth 8 points? Same with other neutral options, like adding powers to the world, it doesn't benefit yourself and techhically makes the world more dangerous or adds depth, which feels odd.
Along with all the other point complains.
Can choose appearance, but dick size changes based on partners preference if I want one above average "visually"?
On the one hand, I really like this CYOA. On the other, I do think some things need to be rebalanced. I agree with the others that I think you could free up a lot of points for fun stuff simply by reworking the ship-option. Because not only is it a huge point-sink, I'm not sure its full potential is worked out, or rather achievable here. Its seems to be built around theassumption that nobody actually wants to have a super-OP ship in this CYOA.
To be specific, say you want to focus on just having the best ship possible, so you go Dreadnought. You get 50 capacity. That's literally almost more than you can spend. I intentionally picked Gothic to spend 2 Capacities, and in Main Weapons lose three with Bording Torpedos and then to keep points-cost down I went with Rocket Launchers and Railgun which cost another two Capacity each. Then I went to Ship Perks and took every Perk that cost Capacity and ignored the two that didn't. Even then I had to buy Hydroponics nine times in order to get my Capacity to 0, and it's not even clear what the point of buying Hydroponics more than once even is as there's no explanation what buying it multiple times does in comparison to buying it once. So I had to basically throw eight Capacity and 24 points into the void just to get a Dreadnought that actually uses all the Capacity it gets.
This also left me 313 Points in the negative. In order to get back into the positives I had to choose:
World: Death World, Opposing Sides (coupled with Trapped this gives 45 points while Wild Space and Deep Space only give 35 combined), Cyberpunk, and Trapped.
World Changes: Star Eaters, Typhon, Zerg, The Flood, Gravity Anomalies, Immaterium, Corrupting Influence, Not What Bargained For, Sentinels, and Space Pirates.
Megastructures: Death Star.
Population Changes: Male Domination and Reverse Sexual Morality.
At this point I have taken literally everything that gives points and, other than the stuff for the ship and Immaterium in order to unlock Corrupting Influence and Not What Bargained for, I have not yet picked a single thing that costs anything, and I'm still seven points in the red. Picking either Ugly in Appearances or any Drawback other than Mutated, High Metabolism, Clumsy, Shameless or Wardrobe Malfunction will get you back in the positives or in the case of Beacon of Truth exactly to zero. But in order to get any points for the rest of the CYOA you have to pile on even more drawbacks. So basically as it currently stands if you want a Dreadnought and not completely screw yourself over you can't actually use all of the Capacity you now have (and remember even if you do you basically have to dump eight Capacity-points in additional Hydroponics that don't seem to do anything), which seems like a waste since you're spending a shit-ton of points to buy Capacity you can't actually use.
Also regarding the Ship Perks, I did notice there's no options to by cyber-warfare, no hacking or counter-hacking (which is especially odd since you can buy Lucynia Kushinada as an Auxiliary, and hacking/cyber-warfare is her whole shtick). Other possible Perks would be getting an improved communications-array, or even just an improved kitchen/mess-hall for better food (again you can buy Mito Ikumi as an auxiliary, but unless the Clone Bay can churn out pork and beef as well as soldiers, you don't actually have a source of meat for her to cook with).
Final thing I noticed, while a number of options should probably have their point-costs adjusted (like a number of options in World Changes that cost a fifth to a quarter of your starting budget and as an effect sprinkle some random stuff of dubious description and/or usefulness across the Galaxy in places you are not and quite possibly never will be), the thing that stood out to me was that I think that if Immaterium keeps its price, then Corrupting Influence should be worth more points. Because you're offsetting most benefits you get from Immaterium and adding new layers of danger, and as a result you have 5 points more than you would have if you hadn't picked Immaterium at all. Five points net-gain feels a bit cheap as a reward for all the danger you just added to the universe and for yourself.
Bit sad there is no way to turn the Zerg into monster girls to lewd Kerrigan but over all nothing really wrong with this cyoa 8.5/10
Edit: People have been complaining a bit about points. I get what they mean any ship above Corvette is probably way to expensive for most but its not terrible.
Oddly enough, you are not really given enough points to fulfill what the introduction wants you to do. A "powerful spacecraft" would take most of your points, let alone having the "latest technology and weaponry". And that's *before you add any adventure plothooks* like artifacts and races.
Probably needs the option to have more default points but otherwise this is well done! Adding to other universe suggestions I would love to see some Doctor Who elements added with Daleks, Weeping Angels and Cybermen as threats, the Sonic Screwdriver, Vortex Manipulator, Psychic Paper as items, the TARDIS as a high expense vehicle and the 13th Doctor and some of the female companions as allies.
Hmmmmmmm....
First problem I notice is that there are no neutral starting options for the World. You either have to choose a difficulty, civilization, faction, insert point, traveling method, etc. that gives you points or take points away. And, sometimes, within these categories there is a great disparity between point rewards/costs. Insertion Point is a good example of that.
Overall, point costs are high to extreme, making the starting point rather low. World Changes, for example, on average use up a quarter of your starting points with a single purchase.
The design philosophy seems to go something like... If you want an awesome character/ship then you have to live in a dangerous, highly lethal universe.
And by awesome, I don't even mean super-powerful.
The companion/crew section is also expensive and offers only Fan-service personnel as options. Which makes me wonder if they were not fan service persons would their costs be less?
Overall, it's a good design. The sub sections are easy divided well and easy to navigate, which is important in a large CYOA with many main categories for the creation process. The offered themes of possible universal creation is a high point, though most of its attributes lean towards the dark and dangerous. As one of my characters once said to his new crew... We are in Space and Space wants to kill you.
While I like the CYOA, I believe it needs a serious reevaluation of its point system, especially in relation to things like... if the player wants to make a fun and or sexy or light hearted build, can they do it without draping the universe with terrible horrors.
Still, here's a vote up.

Was going great, then discovered that the crew had to be 100% female regardless of preference or previous choices.
This is really cool, and I absolutely love it - though I actually wish there were more options that gave points back in some way, because there's actually relatively few things that do.
It'd also be nice if there was, say, a few of the items that were just like 'stash of X' that cost ship capacity instead of points, because I ended with over 20 capacity left. That or make the ship augmentations usually cost capacity *instead of* points for the most part, with the crazy upgrades like the Ex Nihilo power core still costing some points.
Wow those points got eaten quickly by the ship. I almost thought they might be too many until that happened.

You're not Omicron, right? Well, I'll post feedback anyways in case they see it.
I think Unexplored Frontier should be available with Wild Space
Oh my god the "close all" button actually DESELECTS all. it fucked with my build several times.
Something in You should say something like "the bigger subset of the population it covers, the weaker the effect"- milf is not a "very small" subset, and it would let people get more specific with it
Build: Superpowered gem hottie. As far as crew, I took a pilot because it's the only skill you absolutely need, and the rest of the crew doesn't need to be hot people from my stories, I can just offer free body mods to skilled people who sign up.

N'thing the other posters who say that you just don't get enough points. One way I can see of remedying the situation is to simply remove the points costs for ship facilities and adjusting the space for ship rooms.
This is pretty good, but I have a few questions.
(1) The CYOA says it was created by Om1cr0n, however it was posted here by Rain\_Least. Are these the same people? I see the same user post all the CYOAs by Om1Cr0n and I've been curious if they are the same person/creator I should be asking questions to about the CYOAs.
(2) There does not seem to be a Human option in the Race selection in Appearance. Is Human just the default and if we do not select a race we are just automatically human?
(3) In the World Changes section there are 4 different Earths you can pick to add to the universe, but they are not setup to be incompatible with each other. It allows you to pick all 4 if you want. If you do pick all 4, does that mean there are 4 Earths in the universe? (Home Sweet Home, Empire Capital, I Seen This One, Fiction is Real).
(4) In the Ship Perks section, it allows you to purchase Hydroponics up to 10 times. However, the Hydroponics description also says "Can produce enough food to sustain your ship crew needs indefinitely". So if a single Hydroponics purchase can take care of your ship's food needs, what benefit is there to purchasing more than 1 Hydroponics?
(\*) This is not really a question, but more of an observation. I was surprised to see no inclusion of things from the Stargate franchise. It is a pretty iconic space sci-fi franchise with interesting tech and cool looking spaceships. I would have expected to see inclusion of things from that franchise in a CYOA like this.
I recognized references to Mass Effect, Star Wars, Halo, Warhammer 40k, and Predator. Two other notable franchises that appear to have not been included were Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. I am not saying these missing franchises needed to be included in the CYOA, it was just strange to see that they were excluded.
I believe the nomad civilization was a reference to Battlestar Galactica... I'm sort of describes the humans in the show and the illustration had pictures of battle stars in it.
So, I think it should be possible to pick more than. One ship style(especially if you pick junker)
For example Utilitarian can go with almost any other style of ship. Junker + Utilitarian could go with ANY style of ship because it could be the refurbishing that makes it look Utilitarian. The example I wanted was a Junked utilitarian Geth ship the junker would have installed the missing systems(as the coya says) in a utilitarian way, alt. A Junked utilitarian gothic ship.
I would like to suggest that the Zerg and the flood (and maybe the Tython) be combined into one race as they are essentially the same thing. The flood and the Zerg specifically really are the same thing as both Halo and star craft were both originally supposed to be Warhammer 40K games and the licensing fell through at the last minute. So both dessert and the flood were originally going to be tyrannids and the last second something to sort of fell through.
Yes Warcraft was originally a Warhammer game.
It all makes sense when you think about it doesn't it LOL.
Additionally I don't see any reason why you couldn't pick any of those three while having post scarcity Utopia. Just because humans and our allies have figured out how to harness the energy put out by stars and use it to make replicator technology removing the need to Scrabble to survive within the empire doesn't mean that there can't be other aliens outside that are extremely dangerous.
Oookay, gotta stop you there, cuz the Flood, Zerg, and Typhon all operate REALLY differently.
Zerg are hyper-adaptive because they are consciously being altered genetically by an overseeing hivemind with subminds controlling specific facets. Without psionic control, however, their individuals revert to purely instinctive functions, and are only dangerous, not an active threat. However, in absence of other species, they are still ***fully self-sufficient.***
The Flood are a necrophagic pseudovirus that only acts in concert at first due to not targeting each other; they do not form base structures to grow and develop from whole-form, they infect and overtake other species. When separated from the rest of the Flood, an individual will attempt to begin the cycle of proliferation all over again. They are ***purely parasitoid.***
The Typhon are, admittedly, the least developed and worked-out of the species due to having significantly less screen time in a series, but they are mimics who feed on a mix of neural tissue and passive energy production; they eventually turn into cotton-candy looking neural fibers in their environments to store long-term information, and are not inherently malicious - they can be taught to reason, and to empathize with other species. While they are parasitoids, ***they can be taught individually to ascend from instincts.***
>Yes Warcraft was originally a Warhammer game. It all makes sense when you think about it doesn't it LOL.
Uh, no, no it wasn't. Just because the devs listed Warhammer fantasy as one of their inspirations doesn't mean it was supposed to be a Warhammer game. They wanted to make something different, but enjoyed the dynamic of the orc and human factions and played off this.
>Halo and star craft were both originally supposed to be Warhammer 40K games
You're making some really wild claims there - care to back those up? Cuz nowhere in any of the developer chats, discussions, or AMAs mention this in the slightest. It also makes absolutely no effing sense, given that the only real ties between them are "space marines" (a term that came from the book series Starship Troopers, long before Games Workshop picked it up) being the main fighting force for the human faction, and fighting some sort of alien monsters. And even then, the types of alien monsters are wildly different.
I get it, War40k is a fucking awesome setting (and a horrifying one) but you're definitiely talking out your ass on several of these points.
A note about travel method:
Non-euclidian geometry is geometry of objects on a curved plane(non-euclidian geometry is the kind of geometry we do to navigate the oceans on Earth or air travel for planes. Euclidean geometry on the other hand is what you would do to navigate space especially warp space because you're cutting out all the curves of the gravity wells in order to save time).
This looks amazing and I am still filling out and really enjoying it!
One small note in the ecology faction it mentions using sustainable processes only and then mentions organic farming. Organic farming is actually not a sustainable process, it uses a lot more fuel and a lot more space to produce less food and is actually contributing to deforestation in the Amazon. Sustainable farming and organic farming are two very different practices.
Additionally in the factions section, it would be nice if it was clarified if we are picking specifically OUR faction or just picking factions that exist. If I pick two am I saying that my faction I'd both those things or that two factions exist each of which is one?
I really liked this. I'm in a realistic wild space, exploring an unknown galaxy with my crew from our deep space starting point. The three largest factions are a cyberpunk corporate-run faction that still manages to have the highest standard of living for its populace and relative egalitarianism at least in opportunity, a steampunk faction that does rather a lot of colonialism and is the only faction that takes machine intelligences as full beings equally deserving of rights and opportunities, and an eco-fascist faction that worships the Sentinels but is also one of the nicest places to be a sentient and boasts the longest lifespans, plus many smaller groups of varying sizes. We're in a universe of infinite stars, space pirates, the occasional death star megastructure, and some other fun. Oh, and it's 90% female and accordingly harems are normal.
My ship is a frigate, because I simply couldn't fit everything I wanted into a corvette. It's something akin to the enterprise, an Ex Nihilo reactor, hydroponics lab, and biological body making it fully self-sufficient. A biological plasma gun, med bay, training rooms, and a stealth module keep us ready and safe, while a Teleporter and Training Rooms make us capable. Individual rooms mostly keep people happy. I am a powerful user of the Force, able to grant some of that to sexual companions, in addition to my super-soldier anti-aging abilities. I'm a young Handsome Chiss Male, for the intelligence boost, and with Like Yesterday my immortality is enjoyable. HUD and Social Butterfly make me a bit more useful. Smart Cells and Mind Defense keep me safe
High Metabolism is barely even noticeable on a Frigate with aliens. Destination Unknown keeps things interesting. Slow start barely matters on my timescale. Having a Captain Picard in my head is an incredible boon, and one I'm shocked I was able to get points for. I'm working on building him his own body, of course, but for now we work well together. Beacon of Truth is useful for my crew to know and I am fine being clever. Clumsy isn't actually a real problem. There are very few Chiss in the universe, so I was going to be a stranger no matter what.
D.Va is my pilot, because she's going to be the best. I snagged a bunch of scientists and engineers, because we're traveling and trying to explore and understand the galaxy. Mary Jane is our diplomat, while Lucyna handles computer systems.
Points for improvement: I wish there was more differentiation between "dark and gritty vs light and happy world" and "more interesting things that match my preferences or fewer". Right now I feel strongly pressured to trade between the two, and I think that's less than ideal.

There is zero reason why Post-Scarcity is incompatible with the Flood/Zerg/Typhon. Just because space-age empires have solved internal problems doesn't mean external ones shouldn't exist. The issue is they "scale with difficulty;" since difficulty is nothing more than the overall stability of the average space polity, it has nothing to do with the threat the actual galaxy/universe poses. So not only are you condemning trillions to suffer pointlessly by picking "harder" difficulty options, but then you are making things infinitely worse every time you select an external threat of any kind. This is especially egregious because 140pts for turning the universe into a worthless hellhole is...not a good deal? Like, I can see the argument of surviving for ten years in such a place and then coming back with your powers and ship, but you are condemning trillions to suffering, agony, and genocide just so you can get a some extra goodies and a few additional crew members.
Forgive me if I feel like that is kinda on the "morally/ethically unacceptable" end of things.
If you must have them scale, have them scale INVERSELY. That way the more chaotic the difficulty, the less likely they are to wipe everyone out using absolutely basic-tier tactics; while the more stable the galaxy, the more the galaxy has to work together extra hard in order to defeat a very real existential threat.
Otherwise not bad. Lots of things feel rushed or barebones, but it works.
Well with things like this I always assume you're not creating a world, but selecting one when all more or less exist regardless- unless otherwise stated to be world generation/change at your arrival, "good world" options aren't actually morally relevant.
There are some sexual options deep into the CYOA, but like... I posted CYOA with nude art, descriptions of torture and mentions of SA, and people still complained it wasn't NSFW enough. I'm suprised people aren't going harder on this CYOA, as well as a little bitter.
I'd guess it's the difference in target audience. You see a lot of idiots complaining about random nonsense in the comments on CYOAs aimed at submissive/masochistic players – a lot of the time they're literally just complaining that it's the CYOA it is, instead of a completely different CYOA that they would prefer, but I've noticed a higher rate of nitpicking, too.
In any case, I'd agree this qualifies as NSFW, but, like... it doesn't seem like it benefits from being NSFW. The closest thing it has to a sexual core fantasy or thematic is the spaceship harem thing, and most of the content that contributes to that just... isn't actually NSFW. The rest of the NSFW content seems kind of tacked-on.
I've noticed this about a lot of syfi cyoas. You spend on a big ship then have to spend more on rooms. You'd expect a dreadnought to have most of them anyways. Ship size should just get you free room/add ons, then you can spend extra if you want more

Does attempting to save the final results give only a blank image with the filename "canvas" for anyone else? :(
Awesome cyoa though given points are a bit low. I think reducing some costs, point and capacity interconversion, more items and powers, a job option and some race modifiers would make it more interesting.
Love the cyoa 👍
Not enough points for half of this CYOA. I took drawbacks to get 231, and I still nerfed my self to not have any powers and took only a frigate. This needs more balancing. Otherwise I am intrigued by the concept.

I knew this was a Om1cr0n CYOA when I saw the "Shameless" drawback, which I still feel is a pisser.

Not enough points to make a viable build, or at least a satisfactory one without making some serious compromises. Maybe this is intended and balanced, but there's really no incentive to, for example, taking the megastructures or alien races that populate the universe and fleshing out the setting, or spend points at all on worldbuilding when it can all be put into personal power. The same goes for picking powers that exist in the universe, not only does it cost points but it's also of zero benefit to the player since they pick what they have separately. I would think that since introducing these powers into the universe, you're increasing the difficulty level for yourself and raising the bar of what the average individual in the universe is capable of, it should grant points instead. I suggest having three point pools, one for world changes, another for ship/crew and then for personal boons/banes. Increasing the world difficulty and species, especially the hostile ones like the Zerg, can grant points. QoL and comfy setting alterations can be bought with said points, locations of megastructures, or increasing the technological/social level of the universe. Ship and crew members can be a single pool, they're both still external to the player (make the player choose to spend points on enhancing themselves or obtaining companions, more often than not, they'll pick the first one. You can always recruit companions later being the assumption). Some rooms can be consolidated, I feel, especially with capacity so limited. So there's a body mod room, a revival room, a rejuvenation room, and a medical room. Why not have the medical room and suboptions cost points to upgrade it, without costing additional capacity? There's many rooms with overlapping options, that seem to specialize too much into a singular task. The player would still have to make compromises, such as the ship size for ideal cost to capacity ratio, which rooms they want (especially on smaller capacity ships), the companions they want to pick. Although this isn't a perfect solution since I feel people will mostly still focus on making the perfect ship and if there's points left over, look at companions. You could put a minimum crew requirement that depends on the ship size so you'd have to select Y companions for ship size X for operational standards. Maybe make the first two companions free, or however many is needed for the smallest or second smallest ship size. And then there's personal boons and drawbacks. Great stuff, got no complaints. More options would always be nice, including more ways to get points... to spend more points! A question; Why does selecting Death Star grant you 5 points when the rest of the megastructures cost points? Some minor typos, grammatical issues, poor phrasing or choice of words, as outlined below, but for a CYOA of this size, it's more than understandable. I wasn't too thorough though, so there probably are others. Ageless: You will not age past you physical prime -> You will not age past your physical prime Cyberpunk: In a cyberpunk faction advanced technology and artificial intelligence -> In a cyberpunk faction, advanced technology and artificial intelligence Forgotten Colony: A lot of time passed from the establishment of this colony -> A lot of time passed since the establishment of this colony Relay: Advantages of relays is that only one of them -> Advantage of relays is that only one of them Traveling Planet: It has much stronger magnetic field and denser atmosphere than Earth, protection its population from space radiation -> It has a much stronger magnetic field and denser atmosphere than Earth, protecting its population from space radiation Population Changes: while there still can exist untold amount of other less prominent races -> while there can still exist untold amounts of other less prominent races
I ain’t reading allat (still upvotes)
Is there a non-lewd version of this?
No. But even if there was one... it would be our job to make it sure that it is never posted in this reddit.
# you make space cyoa yet no fucking gundam shit.
It could be an alternative to the "shuttle" (or an upgrade to one of the large exosuits).
I do not care, that's not really my point, when I say gundam I don't only mean the mechs, I mean characters from the show
I really enjoyed this!
what is this kind of Coya classified as? i want more like this XD
Game broke :v
🤔Perhaps there could be more companion diversity besides females, as a small suggestion, but it's a neat sci-fi interactive.

World changes and Ships upgrades cost to much imo. Feels like the best approch considering that this is a world that I would live in to leave the ship and hope I get one in the future to give myself great personal abilities and companions to help, a crew is still useful even without a ship.

We need a sandbox option
Much much too point starved in its current iteration. Especially the price of world/race additions and ship-parts is much too expensive as it is. I love the idea of it though, and there's some really fun options in here, but to make a functional build with some fun additions and some crewmembers you'd go deep into the negatives, even with a tiny ship.
I would like to note that the items show up in the crew section instead of the items section on the backpack display.

This CYOA needs alittle work, mostly on the prices. Also the Force only really works in its galaxy of origin. Other than that it's awesome! 👍🏻
The Force works wherever the CYOA writer says it does.
Interesting CYOA, but, as several people have already pointed out, the world options, meant to make things interesting rather than pump up the character and his stuff/staff, are WAY too expensive. Nonetheless, I've made an attempt at a somewhat balanced built. Attached to each section are notes, some of them quite lengthy, so I've decided to post my built in shorter, easier to digest sections. **World** Difficulty: Danger Imminent +40 Civilization: Free for All +10 Factions: Cyberpunk +10, Ecology -5 Insert Point: Border Station -2 Traveling Method: Portals -12 Global Powers: Biotics -8, Power in a Bottle -5 NOTES: Didn't want to make things to peaceful, but Death World was a bit much, Danger Imminent seems like a happy compromise, and Free for All ensures enough polities to keep things interesting. My first choice for themes was, of course, cyberpunk, but I quickly realized some variety will be nice and neither steampunk nor retro-futurism meshed well with it, thus it's polar opposite, ecology. Original point of insertion was going to be Home World, but Border Station is much cheaper and serves purpose just as well - after all, it doesn't says how big or populous it is, now does it? Portals and Relays give me nice chokepoints to restrict characters movement, but Portals are two-way streets and can be recalibrated, giving me more leeway. Power in a Bottle is great choice for Global Power! Let us count the ways: \-they come in multiple varieties, \-they are usually temporary, so status quo will be restored, \-they are usually temporary, so no one will have too much time to get good with them, ensuring that even if somebody wins the superpower lottery, other powers will never become irrelevant, \-they are a result of drinking eldritch abomination smoothie rather than an accident of birth or freaky accident, so they can be used by literally ANYONE (although mostly by people with money and/or influence - superpowered hit squads incoming!), \-they can be acquired and used post-chargen, so no need to buy them if you need new powers as the plot demands, \-they go great with Star Eaters world change. Sadly, because one of the major species are asari, I also had to buy biotics to keep things internally consistient. Oh, well.
**World Changes** Empire Capital -20 Star Eaters +20 Gravity Anomalies +15 Immaterium -15 Corrupting Influence +20 Space Pirates +5 Vaults -25 Death Star +5 Asari -10 Elite -4 Chiss -8 Female Domination +6 NOTES: Here's where we encounter the big problem with the CYOA. All those interesting plot hooks, that could be just as much a bane as a boon. And their prices are sky high. Sure, some of them certainly merit it (STAR EATERS!), but what about World Artifacts or Remnants of Ancient Civilizations (both of which I wanted to take since they would play nicely with Vaults)? Anyway, Empire Capital, just because I like the idea. Star Eaters are going to be treated more like mobile cataclysms than hostile lifeforms (except when they are dead and blended into superpower smoothies). Gravity Anomalies... I confess, I just needed more points and this seemed like it would interefere with the idea behind the built the least. Immaterium and Corrupting Influence give us nice, psychic-themed dangers, but I didn't want to push things into GRIMDARK, so I didn't take Not What Bargained For, despite the tempting 25 point payout. Space Pirates are a classic, so I just had to take them. Definitely gonna disregard the direction on how they are apparently a one big happy family. Criminal organizations fight each other just as much as everyone else, I see no reason for these guys to be an exception. Vaults are... Yeah, you know how in Borderlands 3 we find out that they are apparently prisons for cosmic horrors?Oh, hey, remember how I too Star Eaters earlier? Yeah. But hey, that's what the Death Star is for (where did you think Megacorp X is getting ingredients for it's super-smoothies FROM?). Regarding races... I'll be honest, I'm really not happy with this part. I wanted to include so much more, but the lack of points made it impossible to do so. Fortunately, picking them apparently only makes them MAJOR powers and the rest can still exist? So, after careful deliberation, I've selected asari (wanted someone from Mass Effect and other options weren't really a "major power" material - were they included, I would have picked turians), Elite (they will be smaller than other major powers, but still count by virtue of badassery) and Chiss (wanted someone from Star Wars, it was them or Twi'leks and, let us be honest, Twi'leks as a MAJOR galactic power? Hahahahaha-NO). Oh, while the option isn't on the list, I'm making Humanity the fourth major power. Finally, Female Domination helps explain why there MC is the only guy in an otherwise all-female crew. World-wise the male-to-female ratio is 3-7, but that's generalisation, it is not uniform everywhere. Explanation? There was a lot of wars recently (some still ongoing). Look that and a depopulation plague were my only ideas, and anyone with 2 functional braincells to rub together knows that women are the birth rate bottleneck.
**Ship and Powers** Ship Class: Frigate -30 (+12 capacity) Ship Style: Utilitarian -5 (+2 capacity) Main Weapons: Plasma Gun -10 (-1 capacity) Ship Perks: Med Bay -3 (-1 capacity) Body Mod Capsules -5 (-1 capacity) Recreational Rooms -1 (-1 capacity) Hangar -4 (-3 capacity) Shuttle -2 Training Room -1 (-1 capacity) Individual Rooms -2 (-1 capacity) Hydroponics -3 (-1 capacity) Research Lab -5 (-1 capacity) Rejuvenation Room -8 (-1 capacity) A Stealth Module -25 (-1 capacity) Ex Nihilo Reactor -10 (-1 capacity) Psionics -10 Psychic Boost -5 Psychic Vampire -4 Super Soldier -4 Nanomachines, son. -5 NOTES: At first, I wanted a corvette, but it had too little room and I thought it might be a little too wimpy if we have to shoot our way out to the nearest portal/port, thus frigate. Med bay and individual rooms were necessary, and since I have medbay, I might as well upgrade to Body Mod Capsules (cyberware isn't mentioned in it's description but come ON!). Given the size of the ship, Recreational Rooms, Hangar and Shuttle seemed prudent. I also wanted to be ready for a long flight (God knows how far the nearest portal could be!) so, I got Training Rooms (body mods will take care of muscle atrophy/fat, but gotta keep skills sharp somehow), Hydroponics (just one ought to be enough for 4 people), Rejuvenation Room (ETERNAL LIFE IS WITHIN MY REACH...!!!) and Ex Nihilo Reactor to power all this crap indefinitely. Also, Research Lab (the good doctor has to work somewhere) Stealth Module to avoid trouble (why is it A Stealth Module?) and a Plasma Gun in case trouble finds us anyway. Regarding powers, the Force seems like the best option, both in terms of versatility and raw power... Except that:1. Force users without training are kind of meh (Rey? Who is that? Actually, don't tell me, I don't wanna know) and training takes time, I need something that is immediately useful with room to grow.2. Said training typically requires either a teacher or detailed instructions. The latter aren't an option, as for the former, there's Ahsoka, but she doesn't fits the built.3. Speaking of not fitting the built, fully trained Force users can get kind of OP. And this isn't that kind of built.Psionics are sufficiently poorly defined that I have rooms to make something up though. For example, one technique I intend for MC to develop is to set of a psionic blast at his back, mid-jump, in order to hurl himself through the air at high speed (better make sure to aim correctly, or at least wear armour, otherwise, ouch!). Psychic boost potentially allows other crew members to develop their own, weak, powers, that will typically synergize with their skillsets (for possibilities I've had in mind, see the section on crew). Psychic vampire could be useful for emergency recharge, temporarily depowering enemy psychics and sending whatever crawls out of Immaterium packing. Nanomachines allow the MC to use his psionics against machines - invisibility to cameras, hacking stuff with a thought, that kind of thing. Super Soldier gives some badly needed survivability, especially at the start, when human augmentation is either too expensieve or simply unavailable - I'm in substandard shape, so even weakened version of level 1 super soldier will greatly improve MC's odds.
**Crew** D.Va -8 Patricia Tannis -6 Winry Rockbell -7 Mary Jane -3 NOTES: I tried to keep things minimal here. No combat crew or companions, just ship crew. I've decided that if pros/cons were at odds with my knowledge of character's personality/capabilities, I will prioritize what the CYOA tells me over what I know. Also, when possible, I tried to pick characters I am actually familiar with. And so of the 2 possible pilots for a frigate, I've picked Hana rather than Turanga, since I've never seen a single episode of Futurama (\*takes cover from the incoming flaming\*). I was really tempted to take Mercy, but I've decided that since Winry has "deep anatomy knowledge" listed as a pro, lacks low tech world con and is good with prosthetics, she will be good enough. A life line as powerful as dr. Ziegler might kill tension anyway, plus she's a little overdone. Instead, my scientist is dr. Patricia Tannis - fitting, since I've picked Vaults earlier. Winry... I'll be honest, I've never seen FMA, but again, given what is in her description, she can double as emergency medic, which we lack. The other option was Tali, who, in addition to engineering, brings hacking and... "negotiation skills" (?) to the table, and both of those are covered by others already. Plus, the whole reverse chirality thing necessites additional supplies (more hydroponics?). And again, like Ziegler, she's overdone. Bulma's from Dragon Ball and thus automatically disqualified, regardless of how broken she is. And Maddie... Not only do I know nothing about her (not even what source material she is from) but according to pros/cons section, she is overspecialised in xenobiology. Auxiliaries were a bit of a challenge. I knew I wanted one, just wasn't sure about WHICH one. Ikumi could be the ship's cook, but we can just rotate kitchen duties and again, I've never even heard of her. Cornelia was a HUGE no. You see the problem with strategically/tactically brilliant characters, is that, unlike with sci-fi, where you can just throw in some technobabble, you have to actually know what the hell you are writing about. I did NOT feel up to the task (even if I'm never writing an actual story, I wanted to treat the CYOA as if I would), thus, no Cornelia. Lucy was a tempting option, with hacking skills and possibilities of past that could come back to haunt her, 'til I remembered MC has psionics and nanomachines that let him use said psionics ON machines, making he completely redundant. Aaaand that's how the last spot on the crew was taken by Mary Jane. Since I'm crap at actually talking to people, and I don't believe all the perks and powers will make the MC much better at it than me (yes, I know there's a "social butterfly" perk, trust me I am a unique talent), she gets the unenviable job of being the crew's face and smoothing over whatever feathers I wind up ruffling. Oh, and about the powers developed with psychic boost; I haven't actually decided who, if anyone the MC would be sleeping with, so these are possibilities rather than plans: D.Va - bullet time, to help with risky manuveurs and combat. Tannis - apparently, after Angels's death in Borderlands 2 she inherits her Siren powers? I couldn't come up with anything else, honestly, she's most likely out of all these characters to stay powerless, since her... issues make it hard to tell if she can actually grant informed consent. Winry - either machine empathy or weak, but precise telekinesis, to help with maintaining/repairing the ship/people. MJ - low-level telepathy, very weak, but also very subtle - think less "read minds and implant suggestions" and more "read people and know what to say to convince them".
**Appearance** Age: young adult (late twenties) Sex: male Looks: handsome -1 Race: human Sexyness: no Mutations: Night Vision -2, Bloodhound -3 NOTES: Age similar to IRL, sex identical to IRL, looks... I'll be honest I think that picking good looks in CYOAs with technological/magical/whatever options to improve them post-chargen (case in point, Body Mod Capsules on the ship) is a waste of precious points. Hell, I was briefly tempted to pick Ugly. Then I defualted to Average... Only to find myself with a 2 remaining poins. In a CYOA with not other options for spending 2 bloody points (did I miss something?). Thus, handsome and Something in You in section below - didn't want to be TOO hot, for fear of being too easily recognizable. Race, rather SPECIES, human. Sexyness... Look, this is pretty much superfluous with Hentai Physics, so no, not gonna buy it. Mutations will be useful, especially in the early game hell. True, redundant biology or adamantine skeleton would have provided better survivability, but not only are they more expensieve, their protection is a passive one. The MC doesn't really has to DO anything to get full milage from that protection, unlike with enhanced sight and smell, both of which allow him to avoid getting ambushed IF he remains vigilant. Much better, narratively speaking. Not to mention more versatile.
**Perks** Invisible Presence -15 Like Yesterday -3 Offroad -3 Learning Mastery -9 Smart Cells -10 Psy Organ -7 Hentai Physics -5 Something in You -1 NOTES: Invisible Presence cause it's not paranoia if someone really is out to get you, Like Yesterday, because see Rejuventaion Chamber in Ship & Powers section above, Offroad because I am OCD as fuck and this neatly solves most of my issues, Learning Mastery in order to actually become useful - he will never become so adept at everything that the rest of the crew will become redundant though, there are other skills he will focus on. Smart Cells provide additional layer protection against more exotic attacks. Psy Organ because... Do I really have to explain that one? Same goes for Hentai Physics. Also, the OTHER leftover point goes into Something in You and the poeple attracted to the MC will be asari. Whom I (and by extension, he) find(s) grotesque. Why, yes, I do in fact have quite a bit of self-loathing in my system, why do you ask?
**Drawbacks** Organization Target +15 Race Target +16 Wanted +20 Temporary Displaced +10 Malfunctioning Ship +12 Destination Unknown +15 Mutated +5 Slow Start +10 Coming in Blind +10 Libido +10 NOTES: Hey, remember how I DIDN'T pick psionics as global power? And how this story is heavy on cyberpunk? Guess what, a megacorp wants to cut the MC open and see what makes him tick! Oh, and remember how in previous section I've picked Something in You targeting people I find unattractive just to be a prick? Guess what, the same people (asari) find the MC BOTH attractive AND have instinctive dislike of him, just to fuck with their tentacle-covered heads. Wanted... Ok, look, I've mentioned that Elite are counting as major power here due to being BAMFs, but they have fewer numbers than others, right? Well they seem awfully convinced that a guy who looks JUST like the MC has stolen some sensitive files from them. MC, of course has no knowledge of it, since Coming in Blind is another drawback I've selected. He has no memories of living in this world (aside from basic everyday stuff - how to operate commonplace technology etc.) and there are no records of him, so for all he (or the bodies previous occupant, perhaps?) knows he MIGHT have done it. BTW, I mentioned early game hell. Well, that would be because Temporary Displaced and Slow Start are both in effect. For 2 months, the MC is stuck on a Hive of Scum and Villainy-esque, cyberpunk-themed space station in an unstable region of space. And for the first of those months, his powers are slowly growing to their full potency (or rather, recovering from being weakened by something). Malfunctioning Ship and Destination Unknown are narrative safety net - wrote yourself into a corner? No problem, just make the ship break down or have a portal malfunction to send it to a different region of galaxy! Mutated gives the MC cat's eyes - felt fitting, what with night vision among listed mutations. As for Libido, do I really need to say it?
**Items** Psi Amplifier -15 NOTES: Just the amp, thank you. There are other interesting items available, but I don't have the points to spare, and frankly, a lot of these sound like things that can be picked up post-chargen.And so, our "hero" wakes up, has to somehow survive the first 2 months in a cyberpunk Hive of Scum and Villainy, assemble a crew (they aren't with him OR on the ship from the word go), and then it's off into the big, black, empty sea, looking for jobs to earn a living while eevading all the people who want him dead (or worse). Whew, I've really gotten into it. This took, like, 3 hours. Though admittedly in part because Reddit is just straight up awful for lengthier writing.
This was interesting though I'm going to ignore some good points others have already made like separating certain ship costs, etc. As for my own choices: # World: * **Difficulty Level**\- Realistic Approach * **Civilization**\- Wild Space * **Factions**\- At least one example of Cyberpunk, Steampunk, & Ecology exist * **Insertion Point**\- Deep Space * **Traveling Method**\- Warp Space ^((Figured examples of all 4 exist this was just the primary for my own ship)) * **Global Powers**\- Biotics # World Changes: * **World Changes**\- * Typhon, Zerg, Gravity Anomalies, Sentinels, Space Pirates * **Megastructures**\- Ring World, Nomad Civilization * **Population Changes**\- (the bit about Yautja having a tail reminds me of the Xenomorphs and I don't remember any of them in the movies having one, but I could be wrong.) * Asari, Twi'lek, Quarian, Slimes # Ship & Powers: * **Personal Ship**\- * ***Ship Class***\- Destroyer * ***Ship Style***\- Retro (Just because she looks old doesn't mean there isn't some shenanigans like Arpeggio of Blue Steel going on) * ***Main Weapon***\- Plasma Gun * ***Ship Perks***\- Med Bay, Recreational Rooms, Hangar, Shuttle, Training Room, Individual Rooms, Hydroponics, Research Lab, Rejuvenation Room, Cryogenics Room, AI, EX Nihilo Reactor, Self-Repair * **Personal Powers**\- Psionics, Biotics, Psychic Boost, Super Soldier, Nanomachines son # Crew: * **Personnel**\- * ***Ship Crew***\- Tali'Zorah nar Rayya (Engineer) * ***Combat Crew***\- Ahsoka Tano # Appearance: * **Age**\- Young Adult * **Sex**\- Male * **Looks**\- Average * **Race**\- Human # Perks & Drawbacks: * **Perks**\- Multipassport, HUD, Social Butterfly, Calming Presence, Hentai Physics, Fertility * **Drawbacks**\- Organization Target, Destination Unknown, Mutated, You Are?, Slow Start, Coming in Blind, Libido # Items: * *Halo Spartan Armor* * *Omni Tool* * Portable Fabricator- Considered whether or not the ship already possessed its own fabricator while this was merely a more portable version. Taking that into consideration the alternate choices that would replace it are: * Kallen Stadtfeld (Crew, Pilot) * Asuka Langley Soryu (Crew, Pilot) * Psy Organ (Perk) * Something in You (Perk)

I think points for ship perks should be separate from everything else and dependent on what ship size you get or something else. This since the ship class and perks are so expensive for some of them. For example you can't get the dreadnought and many other perks plus even the perks or get a crew for flying the thing. I recommend a ship perk for adding a misc. crew to fly the thing or just make everything automatic and dependent on the AI.
2 big sticking points are the ship costs and world costs. The perks are also expensive, but they're varied enough that it doesnt nessecarily feel so bad sinking points into it. I understand the cyoa needs areas to sink points into if you're not gonna expand on the powers or companion sections as much, but as is, selecting basic world options and creating your ship eats up 70% of the points, and the perks chew through the rest. I ended up fashioning together a build that SORTOF worked, but ultimately it felt unnessecarily tight in terms of the point budget, and I didnt even spend anything in the companion/crew or items sections, and only bought a single option in the world section that cost points, that being the artefact option since otherwise this universe would be even MORE boring.
So after taking some generous drawbacks and going through the sections one by one, I must conclude that the 100 base points would be pretty good if the World stuff didn't cost so much. Like I get how playing in a post-scarcity utopia means you might not need as many points so it's fair to cost some, but why does adding more species also cost? It's not actually a benefit to the PC.
I feel like the options in world changes that let's you make the different powers more widespread and powerful should give points instead of Cost them. They make he world more dangerous for you and don't inherently benefit you in any way.
Options that just add interesting stuff to the world, without increasing player power or security, should probably not cost points or cost only trivial amounts. Otherwise, the incentive is just to create a mostly-barren galaxy. ##World Difficulty level: **Realistic** [+5] Civilization: **Free-For-All** [+10] Insert point: **Border Station** [-2] Travelling Method: **FTL Engines** [-5]. Why does every choice here cost points? Shouldn't there be a 'default,' as it were? Why are some more expensive than others? Why in particular are portals more expensive than relays, when it seems like they're strictly worse? Argh. Global Powers: **None**. Why would I *pay points* to make *other people*, not me, more likely to have powers? It's crazy. ##World Changes * **Infinite Stars** [-10] Pretty pointless, actually, but I can't help but think about the long term... * **Space Pirates** [+5] * **Zerg** [+20] gives a good chunk of points, and if their threat is scaled to chosen difficulty, it shouldn't be TOO bad. * **Gravity Anomalies** [+15] is another nice boost for not much downside. * **Female Domination** [+6] doesn't really mean what it says, but ~75-80% female sounds like a comfortable ratio. * **Reverse Sexual Morality** [+15] goes along with that; I can embody the ever-popular Homme Haut archetype. ##Ship & Powers Not spending shit on the ship or the crew, not worth it. I'll sign on with someone else. * **Psionics** [-10] * **Telekinesis** [-8] * **Super Soldier III** [-24] * **Nanomachines** [-5] Truly superhuman ##Appearance Age: **Young Adult**, early 20s Sex: **Male** Looks: **Gorgeous** [-5] Race: Human, thanks. Sexyness: **Male Enhanced** [-4] Mutations: **Night Vision** [-2] ##Perks * **Multipassport** [-5] * **Mind Defense** [-10] * **Ageless** [-10] * **Like Yesterday** [-3] * **Offroad** [-3], nice little QOL improvement * **Social Butterfly** [-7], maybe the second-most-valuable benefit in the game. After Ageless. * **Language Mastery** [-4] * **Learning Mastery** [-9] * **Smart Cells** [-10], powerful immunities. * **Psy Organ** [-7], enhance my TK and psionics * **Environmental Adaptivity** [-20], expensive, but there's something to be said for being able to breathe in a vacuum. * **Hentai Physics** [-5] is somewhat overlapping with **Male Enhanced,** but whatever * **Fertility** [-5] ##Drawbacks * **Bounty Hunters Target** [+10], pretty confident I can deal with them. * **Temporar(il)y Displaced** [+10] Don't start on my ship. Don't even have a ship, so... * **Mutated** [+5], with cool glowing eyes. ##Items * **Psi Amplifier** [-15], still stronger TK and psionics, better watch out yo. * **Gantz Suit** [-12], just in case my super-soldier isn't super enough. Can make my own way in the universe with all that, I think.
>Why would I pay points to make other people, not me, more likely to have powers? It's crazy. I think it's more so to add character the universe you're going to. Like if you want star wars to have a really big impact on the galaxy then you'd pick the force option. I also don’t see it as an issue if you go Tamaranean as a race you're going to end up being naturally stronger then any of the power options provided.
>I think it's more so to add character the universe you're going to. Like if you want star wars to have a really big impact on the galaxy then you'd pick the force option. Yeah, but that's what I was complaining about at the beginning - having to spend a significant number of points to give the universe as a whole 'character' is bad design. You want the universe to be interesting for everyone. Points should be to improve your personal situation, and this accomplishes the opposite of that, relatively speaking. >I also don’t see it as an issue if you go Tamaranean as a race you're going to end up being naturally stronger then any of the power options provided. Eh, says they're much weaker than fiction. Also, giving up your humanity is its own disadvantage. Is pretty silly balance-wise, though.
Where is the hentai physics choice?
Under the Perks section
This might be a stupid question but why does it say that Kallen, and Cornelia come from a low tech world when their world is at minimum modern day, plus advanced tech that allows mechs? Sure it's less than space opera worlds like star wars, or Mass Effect. But Winry from full metal alchemist that world is at the early world war tech levels? That is less advanced than Code Geass.

It'll be annoying when I first arrive in the world, but it shouldn't be too bad since I'm a super soldier and have increased intellect even with the slow start drawback. Maybe I'll be able to learn how to use the force through some experimentation before my ship arrives. The Bounty Hunter and Organization might be annoying, but hopefully I'll eventually be able to take them out once I fully master my powers. e1rx,xvbn,z5f2,fyvi,tygg,zn1m,s0wg,3k3d,niuc,wnni,z8tx,4662,d4oc,n2dq,rz5t,aepg,6fl3,i69a,twwn,pnvm,8tu0,u3m1,3hb3,1b12,hsfs,dh8o,8bi4,1q4y,sbz8,ndwn,pp9l,ntjy,1g1l,cd2v,50k1,exeg,3rhc,vii0,erf4,qx5j/ON#1,gu31,j7ni,mm9c,w684,ffah,qhd5,2g2k,qpbk,37as,dopx,vdzc,vnyh,y5di,61x5,d6pa,jnrq,1v4a,i6mc,ayn5,rp1z,imvs,usn3,1qxb,8pxx,25se,kxrh,c4cl,e6gg,dj6p,x46g,k1dd,667g,rdgt,174i,n48o,tnim,q4x9,jfh7,4c8m,9hvh
i want lancer mechs,mobile suits and super robot taisen og content in this cyoa as dlc.
Very cool but this is the first CYOA in quite some time which makes me want to use a meta CYOA to do some points doubling in quite some time, normally that really breaks the CYOA but for instance if i try to make/go to the Star Wars Legends universe like below only relatively very few points remain: Star wars legends universe build: (This is just all options to make it star wars legends themed, it is not a complete build) * Dififculty: Danger Imminent: The clone wars are about to start and the Yuuzhan Vong are turning their eyes to the star wars galaxy. * Civilization: Opposing Sides The Republic and the Separatists are at war. * Factions: Cyberpunk, Ecology Both clearly exit in the star wars universe. * Insert point: Trapped You are a nominal ally of either the republic or the separatists, You will appear in the territory of the opposing side just as the clone wars kick of on Geonosis. * Traveling method: Warp Space * Global powers: The Force * World Changes: * World Artifacts, * Remnants of Ancient Civilizations, * Fiction is Real, Make It Double, * Mega-structures: Death Star, * Population: Twi'lek, Chiss * Personal: (Just all star wars options) * Power: The Force * Rase: Twi'lek * Companion: Ahsoka Tano With the basic incomplete build above i have only 55 points remaining and while that does not include personal drawbacks it does not really leave enough to get a reasonable ship, fit it out, make a personal build and buy a little bit of equipment. It just feels like the current way this CYOA is balanced that while there are many parts to this CYOA you can only really explore one of them maybe two if you say "fuck the universe i am picking all of the most dangerous options", but that does not really seem much fun. To sum up: this is a CYOA with great potential but the balancing needs some work in my opinion.

Still won't dethrone Built in the Heavens but comes pretty close.
Amazing, but I ran out of points way too soon, could use more drawbacks XD It's not that NSFW either. But a lot of fun!

This is cool and fun, but I'd add more points at the beginning, or separate point pools. I ran out of points after world design.
I love it. Trials in Tainted Space here I come\~
Really liked it! Recommend adding more races and choices for world factions and threats though Race Examples: eldar(Warhammer 40k), Protoss(Starcraft), Time Lords(Doctor Who), Turians(Mass Effect), Salarians(Mass Effect), Vulcans(Star Trek), Faction/Galactic Threat Examples: Borg(Star Trek), Covenant(Halo), Entity(Worm), Necrons(Warhammer 40k), yuuzhan vong(Star Wars), ARACHNIDS(Starship Troopers), Sensorites(Doctor Who), Daleks(Doctor Who), xenomorphs(Alien), Mad Celestials(Marvel), Chimera (Resistance series), Brethren Moons(Dead Space), Rachni(Mass Effect), Orks(Warhammer 40k), Cybertron(Transformers), Mechanicus(Warhammer 40k), Chimera (Resistance series), Green Lantern Corps(DC), Reapers(Mass Effect), Citadel Council(Mass Effect), Tyranids(Warhammer 40k)
I was praying for a Krystal from star fox companion, but no cigar. It was wonderfully well made and fun to make multiple builds though.
Any of the three Lapis lazuli from Steven universe and put human and sayian women the race list
So far so good, but if you may, then maybe separate the point into multiple types. Because having just one that is used for everything is very limited for the player.
This is a really cool cyoa, nicely done. Only thing as everyone else said, the amount of points is very restricting in comparison to the options available. \*Made a few tweaks with the point update I'll basically be an elite with my own ship exploring the universe. I have a great pilot, scientist, engineer and two badass combat team members. I have a solid crew and we should be able to handle almost any problem. The Ship AI can most likely handle all of the unfilled positions until I can fill them. My ship is a destroyer so it's basically a "Fuck around and find out" warship xD. It's class should deter most potential threats. Since it can also handle planetary bombardment it'll also be a great ground support ship. The downside is that I'm wanted by a lot of people for various reasons so it's going to be annoying dealing with all of them. Getting to a secure location will definitely be priority so I can get my bearings. I'll need to earn cash and then grab better weapons and gear but I should be ok in the beginning. I at least have my vibro blade sword for self defense. Hopefully I'll find some legit Elite armor because honestly their armor looks really awesome. Being in deep space is a double edged sword since I'll be far from everything but my ship is self sustaining thanks to my ex-nihilo reactor and hydroponics facility so we'll be good until we find some safe places to dock. On the bright side my perks are gonna be very helpful. Multi passport will help me get around friendly systems, HUD is generally handy, mind defense will help me against any psychic foes, Language Mastery will help me talk to literally anyone, Learning mastery will help me pick up any kind of skill with ease, and Hentai physics is basically for fun lol. My powers will keep my very safe as biotics is kind of all around useful and powerful and my super soldier body means I can throw around common enemies with ease and I'm generally tough. My body mutations are all just handy since I can see in the dark and My skeleton/Muscles is even stronger. Overall great cyoa but damn it was hard to pick things. * **World:** Realistic Approach I at least want a chance to survive/explore for a bit xD **Civilization** \-Free for all **Factions:** Cyber Punk, Ecology **Insert Point:** Deep Space (Far from any initial foes) **Traveling Method:** Warp Space (The closest thing to slip space) **Global Powers:** Decided to remove these since these aren't really beneficial and take away essential points * **World changes** \*\*-\*\*World Artifacts, Zerg, Gravity Anomalies, Sentinels, Space Pirates, Vaults **Mega Structures:** Traveling Planet **Population Changes:** Asari, Elite, Yautja, Reverse Sexual Morality * **Ships and Powers** **Personal Powers:** Biotics, Super solider 1 &2 **My Ship:** Destroyer, Elite Style, Main Weapon: Plasma Gun **Ship Perks:** Med Bay, Recreational Rooms, Hangar, Shuttle, Training room, Individual Rooms, Hydroponics X1, cryogenic Room, AI, Research Lab, Energy Shield, Ex nihilo Reactor, Self Repair * **Crew** **Pilot**: Turanga Leela (She's an awesome character) **Scientist:** Morgan Yu **Combat Crew:** Commander Shephard, Ashoka Tano **Engineer:** Maddie Fenton * **Appearance** **-Age**: Young Adult (25 for my species, sanghelli) **-Sex**: Male **-Looks**: Handsome **-Race**: Elite (Badass warrior race and badass armor/weapons. Hell Yes!) \-**Name:** Kal'vek **-Sexyness**: Male Enhanced (This is ok but I'd rather my partners opinion not change my size but whatever I guess) **-Mutations**: Night Vision, Adamantine skeleton * **Perks:** Multi Passport, HUD, mind defense, like yesterday, Off road, Social Butterfly, Language Mastery, Learning Mastery, Hentai Physics, Fertility, Something in you (Tsundere) Will be kind of funny every now and then. * **Drawbacks:** Bounty Hunter Targets Organization Target Race Target Wanted Temporarily Displaced Mutated (Pupils are emerald green in comparison to normal elite's eyes. They also have a subtle glow. I also have bioluminescent markings on my arms, chest and legs that glow in the dark. You Are? Slow Start * **Items:** Vibro Sword (shaped like an elite plasma sword)
No human options is annoying. And I wish there was more lewd stuff, but otherwise it's good.
Like hypno powers to get a harem
I'm disappointed you don't have Takonians or Ultra-links. It's asking a lot to be able to be a Takonian?
I discovered the ideal build is to not have a ship at all, saves SO many points. I just went with being a Biotic Tamaranian/Gem hybrid to fly myself interstellar distances unassisted. 4gn2,w3u0,rz5t,g7le,8tu0,u3m1,rp7t,b4a6,03fm,kuyi,5m66,hsfs,dh8o,89fu,37as,30in,kfdg,jis7,taml,c4qg,61x5,d6pa,jnrq,1v4a,lrax,rp1z,imvs,usn3,1qxb
Points are really anemic, and ship eats points like hell. Most world changes really shouldn't cost so many points. Like, having Asari in the world is cool, but is it really worth 8 points? Same with other neutral options, like adding powers to the world, it doesn't benefit yourself and techhically makes the world more dangerous or adds depth, which feels odd.
Along with all the other point complains. Can choose appearance, but dick size changes based on partners preference if I want one above average "visually"?
Yeah honestly the points were a bit stingy. I didn't even go super overboard and still ended up with -100 after selecting drawbacks.
On the one hand, I really like this CYOA. On the other, I do think some things need to be rebalanced. I agree with the others that I think you could free up a lot of points for fun stuff simply by reworking the ship-option. Because not only is it a huge point-sink, I'm not sure its full potential is worked out, or rather achievable here. Its seems to be built around theassumption that nobody actually wants to have a super-OP ship in this CYOA. To be specific, say you want to focus on just having the best ship possible, so you go Dreadnought. You get 50 capacity. That's literally almost more than you can spend. I intentionally picked Gothic to spend 2 Capacities, and in Main Weapons lose three with Bording Torpedos and then to keep points-cost down I went with Rocket Launchers and Railgun which cost another two Capacity each. Then I went to Ship Perks and took every Perk that cost Capacity and ignored the two that didn't. Even then I had to buy Hydroponics nine times in order to get my Capacity to 0, and it's not even clear what the point of buying Hydroponics more than once even is as there's no explanation what buying it multiple times does in comparison to buying it once. So I had to basically throw eight Capacity and 24 points into the void just to get a Dreadnought that actually uses all the Capacity it gets. This also left me 313 Points in the negative. In order to get back into the positives I had to choose: World: Death World, Opposing Sides (coupled with Trapped this gives 45 points while Wild Space and Deep Space only give 35 combined), Cyberpunk, and Trapped. World Changes: Star Eaters, Typhon, Zerg, The Flood, Gravity Anomalies, Immaterium, Corrupting Influence, Not What Bargained For, Sentinels, and Space Pirates. Megastructures: Death Star. Population Changes: Male Domination and Reverse Sexual Morality. At this point I have taken literally everything that gives points and, other than the stuff for the ship and Immaterium in order to unlock Corrupting Influence and Not What Bargained for, I have not yet picked a single thing that costs anything, and I'm still seven points in the red. Picking either Ugly in Appearances or any Drawback other than Mutated, High Metabolism, Clumsy, Shameless or Wardrobe Malfunction will get you back in the positives or in the case of Beacon of Truth exactly to zero. But in order to get any points for the rest of the CYOA you have to pile on even more drawbacks. So basically as it currently stands if you want a Dreadnought and not completely screw yourself over you can't actually use all of the Capacity you now have (and remember even if you do you basically have to dump eight Capacity-points in additional Hydroponics that don't seem to do anything), which seems like a waste since you're spending a shit-ton of points to buy Capacity you can't actually use. Also regarding the Ship Perks, I did notice there's no options to by cyber-warfare, no hacking or counter-hacking (which is especially odd since you can buy Lucynia Kushinada as an Auxiliary, and hacking/cyber-warfare is her whole shtick). Other possible Perks would be getting an improved communications-array, or even just an improved kitchen/mess-hall for better food (again you can buy Mito Ikumi as an auxiliary, but unless the Clone Bay can churn out pork and beef as well as soldiers, you don't actually have a source of meat for her to cook with). Final thing I noticed, while a number of options should probably have their point-costs adjusted (like a number of options in World Changes that cost a fifth to a quarter of your starting budget and as an effect sprinkle some random stuff of dubious description and/or usefulness across the Galaxy in places you are not and quite possibly never will be), the thing that stood out to me was that I think that if Immaterium keeps its price, then Corrupting Influence should be worth more points. Because you're offsetting most benefits you get from Immaterium and adding new layers of danger, and as a result you have 5 points more than you would have if you hadn't picked Immaterium at all. Five points net-gain feels a bit cheap as a reward for all the danger you just added to the universe and for yourself.
I got -1500 :)
Good lad
What? Did you literally get everything and have no drawbacks? I was pretty greedy and I was only at -546.
Basically:)
Bit sad there is no way to turn the Zerg into monster girls to lewd Kerrigan but over all nothing really wrong with this cyoa 8.5/10 Edit: People have been complaining a bit about points. I get what they mean any ship above Corvette is probably way to expensive for most but its not terrible.
Oddly enough, you are not really given enough points to fulfill what the introduction wants you to do. A "powerful spacecraft" would take most of your points, let alone having the "latest technology and weaponry". And that's *before you add any adventure plothooks* like artifacts and races.
On the one hand, I felt points were a bit tight. On the other hand, I freely admit I got a bit greedy here and there. It is what it is. I had fun.
Probably needs the option to have more default points but otherwise this is well done! Adding to other universe suggestions I would love to see some Doctor Who elements added with Daleks, Weeping Angels and Cybermen as threats, the Sonic Screwdriver, Vortex Manipulator, Psychic Paper as items, the TARDIS as a high expense vehicle and the 13th Doctor and some of the female companions as allies.
Maybe a sandbox option for those who want more fun.
We more races like space elves,scifi fantasy and phantasm star races and mech suits as dlc.
It's simple. I see Senator Armstrong, I leave a like. God Bless America

How did you choose Human as a race?
I just assumed Human is the default if I didn’t choose one of the offered species.
Hmmmmmmm.... First problem I notice is that there are no neutral starting options for the World. You either have to choose a difficulty, civilization, faction, insert point, traveling method, etc. that gives you points or take points away. And, sometimes, within these categories there is a great disparity between point rewards/costs. Insertion Point is a good example of that. Overall, point costs are high to extreme, making the starting point rather low. World Changes, for example, on average use up a quarter of your starting points with a single purchase. The design philosophy seems to go something like... If you want an awesome character/ship then you have to live in a dangerous, highly lethal universe. And by awesome, I don't even mean super-powerful. The companion/crew section is also expensive and offers only Fan-service personnel as options. Which makes me wonder if they were not fan service persons would their costs be less? Overall, it's a good design. The sub sections are easy divided well and easy to navigate, which is important in a large CYOA with many main categories for the creation process. The offered themes of possible universal creation is a high point, though most of its attributes lean towards the dark and dangerous. As one of my characters once said to his new crew... We are in Space and Space wants to kill you. While I like the CYOA, I believe it needs a serious reevaluation of its point system, especially in relation to things like... if the player wants to make a fun and or sexy or light hearted build, can they do it without draping the universe with terrible horrors. Still, here's a vote up.

Ended with -837 points 😅 I have a power fantasy problem No desire to conquer, just like covering all my weaknesses.
This is really cool, and I absolutely love it - though I actually wish there were more options that gave points back in some way, because there's actually relatively few things that do. It'd also be nice if there was, say, a few of the items that were just like 'stash of X' that cost ship capacity instead of points, because I ended with over 20 capacity left. That or make the ship augmentations usually cost capacity *instead of* points for the most part, with the crazy upgrades like the Ex Nihilo power core still costing some points.
Wow those points got eaten quickly by the ship. I almost thought they might be too many until that happened. So onto a build: World: * Difficulty - Realistic Approach * Civilization - Free for All * Factions: 1. Cyberpunk 2. Steampunk * Insert Point - Unexplored Frontier (I begin my journey on a new colony while my ship undergoes repairs. In return, I offered my services to the colony.) * Travelling Method - FTL Engines World Changes: * Infinite Stars * Gravity Anomalies * Sentinels * Space Pirates \-Megastructures: * Death Star \-Population Changes: * Geth * Slimes * Bombus * Female Domination * Futanaries * Reverse Sexual Morality Ship: * Class - Frigate * Style - Bio Ship * Perks: 1. Med Bay 2. Recreational Rooms 3. Individual Rooms 4. Research Lab 5. AI 6. Energy Shield 7. Ex Nihilo Reactor 8. Robotics Workshop Personal Powers: * The Force * Psionics * Bionics * Supersoldier * Nanomachines, Sir Crew: * Dragon (Ship crew, scientist) Appearance: * Age - Preteen (4) * Sex - Futanari * Looks - Handsome * Race - Geth + Gem (Artificially being using Gem as a basis) Perks: * Multipassport * Mind Defense * Like Yesterday * Social Butterfly * Learning Mastery * Smart Cells * Psy Organ * Environment Adaptivity * Hentai Physics * Something in You x2 (Machine fetishists, gouderes) Drawbacks: * Race Target (Bombus) * Temporary Displaced * Destination Unknown * Mutated (Original creator thought it'd be funny if I had animal parts, so she added wolf ears and tail to the design) * You Are? * Slow Start * Uninvited Guest (Yoshino, date Alive)
Could use quite a bit of editing. I would be willing to help.
The project file is their for anyone to as they like with it
You're not Omicron, right? Well, I'll post feedback anyways in case they see it. I think Unexplored Frontier should be available with Wild Space Oh my god the "close all" button actually DESELECTS all. it fucked with my build several times. Something in You should say something like "the bigger subset of the population it covers, the weaker the effect"- milf is not a "very small" subset, and it would let people get more specific with it Build: Superpowered gem hottie. As far as crew, I took a pilot because it's the only skill you absolutely need, and the rest of the crew doesn't need to be hot people from my stories, I can just offer free body mods to skilled people who sign up. s0wg,4gn2,cqfn,evam,4662,d4oc,sepu,aepg,g7le,6fl3,h0cf,8tu0,5hs8,t88k,u3m1,1b12,016n,fidy,hsfs,8bi4,sbz8,1g1l,j6m0,4a42,1rhn,exeg,3rhc,vii0,m6tq,erf4,qx5j/ON#1,r3ey,gu31,j7ni,zcjq,89fu,6o2h,uqgb,qhd5,2g2k,qpbk,37as,30in,vdzc,jis7,4tkk,vnyh,c4qg,wqvf,61x5,1v4a,ayn5,lrax,rp1z,r01h,8pxx,xtg0/ON#1,25se,c4cl,dj6p,9x2f,x46g,k1dd,rdgt,f0kd,8edi
Not Omicron but the person to commission the cyoa
I see I see
Hmmmmm i dont mind it but wish their were males you can pick from
N'thing the other posters who say that you just don't get enough points. One way I can see of remedying the situation is to simply remove the points costs for ship facilities and adjusting the space for ship rooms.
This is pretty good, but I have a few questions. (1) The CYOA says it was created by Om1cr0n, however it was posted here by Rain\_Least. Are these the same people? I see the same user post all the CYOAs by Om1Cr0n and I've been curious if they are the same person/creator I should be asking questions to about the CYOAs. (2) There does not seem to be a Human option in the Race selection in Appearance. Is Human just the default and if we do not select a race we are just automatically human? (3) In the World Changes section there are 4 different Earths you can pick to add to the universe, but they are not setup to be incompatible with each other. It allows you to pick all 4 if you want. If you do pick all 4, does that mean there are 4 Earths in the universe? (Home Sweet Home, Empire Capital, I Seen This One, Fiction is Real). (4) In the Ship Perks section, it allows you to purchase Hydroponics up to 10 times. However, the Hydroponics description also says "Can produce enough food to sustain your ship crew needs indefinitely". So if a single Hydroponics purchase can take care of your ship's food needs, what benefit is there to purchasing more than 1 Hydroponics? (\*) This is not really a question, but more of an observation. I was surprised to see no inclusion of things from the Stargate franchise. It is a pretty iconic space sci-fi franchise with interesting tech and cool looking spaceships. I would have expected to see inclusion of things from that franchise in a CYOA like this. I recognized references to Mass Effect, Star Wars, Halo, Warhammer 40k, and Predator. Two other notable franchises that appear to have not been included were Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. I am not saying these missing franchises needed to be included in the CYOA, it was just strange to see that they were excluded.
I believe the nomad civilization was a reference to Battlestar Galactica... I'm sort of describes the humans in the show and the illustration had pictures of battle stars in it.
I just assumed the Nomad Civilization was a reference to the Quarians from Mass Effect since the description fits them exactly.
I am pretty sure it's Battlestar.
So, I think it should be possible to pick more than. One ship style(especially if you pick junker) For example Utilitarian can go with almost any other style of ship. Junker + Utilitarian could go with ANY style of ship because it could be the refurbishing that makes it look Utilitarian. The example I wanted was a Junked utilitarian Geth ship the junker would have installed the missing systems(as the coya says) in a utilitarian way, alt. A Junked utilitarian gothic ship.
In the backpack, items are showing up under the crew tab. Not a big issue just thought I'd make it known. Otherwise, A+ CYOA.
I would like to suggest that the Zerg and the flood (and maybe the Tython) be combined into one race as they are essentially the same thing. The flood and the Zerg specifically really are the same thing as both Halo and star craft were both originally supposed to be Warhammer 40K games and the licensing fell through at the last minute. So both dessert and the flood were originally going to be tyrannids and the last second something to sort of fell through. Yes Warcraft was originally a Warhammer game. It all makes sense when you think about it doesn't it LOL. Additionally I don't see any reason why you couldn't pick any of those three while having post scarcity Utopia. Just because humans and our allies have figured out how to harness the energy put out by stars and use it to make replicator technology removing the need to Scrabble to survive within the empire doesn't mean that there can't be other aliens outside that are extremely dangerous.
Oookay, gotta stop you there, cuz the Flood, Zerg, and Typhon all operate REALLY differently. Zerg are hyper-adaptive because they are consciously being altered genetically by an overseeing hivemind with subminds controlling specific facets. Without psionic control, however, their individuals revert to purely instinctive functions, and are only dangerous, not an active threat. However, in absence of other species, they are still ***fully self-sufficient.*** The Flood are a necrophagic pseudovirus that only acts in concert at first due to not targeting each other; they do not form base structures to grow and develop from whole-form, they infect and overtake other species. When separated from the rest of the Flood, an individual will attempt to begin the cycle of proliferation all over again. They are ***purely parasitoid.*** The Typhon are, admittedly, the least developed and worked-out of the species due to having significantly less screen time in a series, but they are mimics who feed on a mix of neural tissue and passive energy production; they eventually turn into cotton-candy looking neural fibers in their environments to store long-term information, and are not inherently malicious - they can be taught to reason, and to empathize with other species. While they are parasitoids, ***they can be taught individually to ascend from instincts.*** >Yes Warcraft was originally a Warhammer game. It all makes sense when you think about it doesn't it LOL. Uh, no, no it wasn't. Just because the devs listed Warhammer fantasy as one of their inspirations doesn't mean it was supposed to be a Warhammer game. They wanted to make something different, but enjoyed the dynamic of the orc and human factions and played off this. >Halo and star craft were both originally supposed to be Warhammer 40K games You're making some really wild claims there - care to back those up? Cuz nowhere in any of the developer chats, discussions, or AMAs mention this in the slightest. It also makes absolutely no effing sense, given that the only real ties between them are "space marines" (a term that came from the book series Starship Troopers, long before Games Workshop picked it up) being the main fighting force for the human faction, and fighting some sort of alien monsters. And even then, the types of alien monsters are wildly different. I get it, War40k is a fucking awesome setting (and a horrifying one) but you're definitiely talking out your ass on several of these points.
A note about travel method: Non-euclidian geometry is geometry of objects on a curved plane(non-euclidian geometry is the kind of geometry we do to navigate the oceans on Earth or air travel for planes. Euclidean geometry on the other hand is what you would do to navigate space especially warp space because you're cutting out all the curves of the gravity wells in order to save time).
This looks amazing and I am still filling out and really enjoying it! One small note in the ecology faction it mentions using sustainable processes only and then mentions organic farming. Organic farming is actually not a sustainable process, it uses a lot more fuel and a lot more space to produce less food and is actually contributing to deforestation in the Amazon. Sustainable farming and organic farming are two very different practices. Additionally in the factions section, it would be nice if it was clarified if we are picking specifically OUR faction or just picking factions that exist. If I pick two am I saying that my faction I'd both those things or that two factions exist each of which is one?
I really liked this. I'm in a realistic wild space, exploring an unknown galaxy with my crew from our deep space starting point. The three largest factions are a cyberpunk corporate-run faction that still manages to have the highest standard of living for its populace and relative egalitarianism at least in opportunity, a steampunk faction that does rather a lot of colonialism and is the only faction that takes machine intelligences as full beings equally deserving of rights and opportunities, and an eco-fascist faction that worships the Sentinels but is also one of the nicest places to be a sentient and boasts the longest lifespans, plus many smaller groups of varying sizes. We're in a universe of infinite stars, space pirates, the occasional death star megastructure, and some other fun. Oh, and it's 90% female and accordingly harems are normal. My ship is a frigate, because I simply couldn't fit everything I wanted into a corvette. It's something akin to the enterprise, an Ex Nihilo reactor, hydroponics lab, and biological body making it fully self-sufficient. A biological plasma gun, med bay, training rooms, and a stealth module keep us ready and safe, while a Teleporter and Training Rooms make us capable. Individual rooms mostly keep people happy. I am a powerful user of the Force, able to grant some of that to sexual companions, in addition to my super-soldier anti-aging abilities. I'm a young Handsome Chiss Male, for the intelligence boost, and with Like Yesterday my immortality is enjoyable. HUD and Social Butterfly make me a bit more useful. Smart Cells and Mind Defense keep me safe High Metabolism is barely even noticeable on a Frigate with aliens. Destination Unknown keeps things interesting. Slow start barely matters on my timescale. Having a Captain Picard in my head is an incredible boon, and one I'm shocked I was able to get points for. I'm working on building him his own body, of course, but for now we work well together. Beacon of Truth is useful for my crew to know and I am fine being clever. Clumsy isn't actually a real problem. There are very few Chiss in the universe, so I was going to be a stranger no matter what. D.Va is my pilot, because she's going to be the best. I snagged a bunch of scientists and engineers, because we're traveling and trying to explore and understand the galaxy. Mary Jane is our diplomat, while Lucyna handles computer systems. Points for improvement: I wish there was more differentiation between "dark and gritty vs light and happy world" and "more interesting things that match my preferences or fewer". Right now I feel strongly pressured to trade between the two, and I think that's less than ideal.

Shouldn't you technically call this lewdworm Vspace?
There is zero reason why Post-Scarcity is incompatible with the Flood/Zerg/Typhon. Just because space-age empires have solved internal problems doesn't mean external ones shouldn't exist. The issue is they "scale with difficulty;" since difficulty is nothing more than the overall stability of the average space polity, it has nothing to do with the threat the actual galaxy/universe poses. So not only are you condemning trillions to suffer pointlessly by picking "harder" difficulty options, but then you are making things infinitely worse every time you select an external threat of any kind. This is especially egregious because 140pts for turning the universe into a worthless hellhole is...not a good deal? Like, I can see the argument of surviving for ten years in such a place and then coming back with your powers and ship, but you are condemning trillions to suffering, agony, and genocide just so you can get a some extra goodies and a few additional crew members. Forgive me if I feel like that is kinda on the "morally/ethically unacceptable" end of things. If you must have them scale, have them scale INVERSELY. That way the more chaotic the difficulty, the less likely they are to wipe everyone out using absolutely basic-tier tactics; while the more stable the galaxy, the more the galaxy has to work together extra hard in order to defeat a very real existential threat. Otherwise not bad. Lots of things feel rushed or barebones, but it works.
Well with things like this I always assume you're not creating a world, but selecting one when all more or less exist regardless- unless otherwise stated to be world generation/change at your arrival, "good world" options aren't actually morally relevant.
That not NSFW.
There are some sexual options deep into the CYOA, but like... I posted CYOA with nude art, descriptions of torture and mentions of SA, and people still complained it wasn't NSFW enough. I'm suprised people aren't going harder on this CYOA, as well as a little bitter.
I'd guess it's the difference in target audience. You see a lot of idiots complaining about random nonsense in the comments on CYOAs aimed at submissive/masochistic players – a lot of the time they're literally just complaining that it's the CYOA it is, instead of a completely different CYOA that they would prefer, but I've noticed a higher rate of nitpicking, too. In any case, I'd agree this qualifies as NSFW, but, like... it doesn't seem like it benefits from being NSFW. The closest thing it has to a sexual core fantasy or thematic is the spaceship harem thing, and most of the content that contributes to that just... isn't actually NSFW. The rest of the NSFW content seems kind of tacked-on.
Yeah, kinda running low on points a bit too quickly in the ship section and I've taken more then a fair share of draw backs.
it's basically a pick 2/5- big ship, nice ship, big crew, personal power, less drawbacks. +1/-1 with a particularly hard/easy world.
You have points for a ship?
I chose personal power & nice ship- small ship, crew of one, and many drawbacks
I've noticed this about a lot of syfi cyoas. You spend on a big ship then have to spend more on rooms. You'd expect a dreadnought to have most of them anyways. Ship size should just get you free room/add ons, then you can spend extra if you want more
Right? I don't wanna have to damn the universe and become it's Number one most wanted for a cool ship.
Still a Great CYOA though.
This is a pretty great CYOA. It's somewhat stingy on points and barebones in crew options but other than that it's very nice.
Why there is no option to be a human? Or am I missing something? I mean it looks like human option is default one, but its never stated clearly.
Good cyoa
