There are a variety of gameplay modes
in Solar Echoes because we wanted players to be able to
experience the different types of action we'd seen in our favorite
shows and movies. Car chases are almost an essential ingredient in
action movies these days, and some movies, like the Fast and Furious
series, are based upon over-the-top vehicle action and stunts. We
have a streamlined set of rules for exciting car chases in Solar
Echoes, with pre-scripted scenarios as well as the tools for the MC
to design his own exciting action sequences. We worked to keep the
rules as simple and as related to our basic combat rules as possible
so that players would not have to learn an entirely new system. From
our beta tests, players assimilated to the car chase system within a
few minutes and were immediately engaged in the excitement of trying
to chase down or escape enemy vehicles, guns blazing.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
