[@banzai tracers] I’ve never seen starship troopers, so I cannot comment. If you would like to hop into the discord using the above link, we can discuss more there. I am slightly concerned about the fact that you got kicked from a game on account of your playing fascists - usually RP creators try to be open minded unless it seems that one is pushing their own personal political agenda. At the least, that is the standard that I hold myself to and I’m sure other creators will concur. We’re all here to have fun, and, yknow, not romanticize people and ideologies that attempt genocide. Anyway! I look forward to hearing from you. Similarly, if there are any lurkers here, please pop into the discord for a chat! I’m increasingly not-present on the guild and sometimes forget to check my messages. EDIT: Because I forgot to answer your question, the answer is that it's up to you as a player race. As it is, we don't really have weaponized ships or even casual spacefaring yet (lots of research vessels, manned ones within your own system and maybe generational deep space research things) but it will come in time.
