Hey Everyone!
Recently I've been enthralled by Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak and have been thinking about trying to run a campaign in that setting. Only problem is, my experience is entirely within the D&D sphere.
The basic premise is that the desert planet of Kharak is becoming more and more inhospitable, and within several generations civilization will collapse due to expanding deserts. The nations of the north pole have recently discovered vast metal and energy signatures hidden deep within the equatorial deserts, and have launched an expedition to investigate. Due to hostile clans of desert raiders and hellish conditions (median daily temperature at the equator: 100+ C), the expedition is extremely dependent upon their vehicles for survival. These vehicles range from dune buggies to aircraft carrier sized production yards.
I was curious if anyone knows of any good vehicle-heavy game systems I could take a look at for inspiration. I'd prefer a simpler system to an elaborate one, but I'd also like one that models extremely large vehicles decently. Given the size of the vehicles in question, good ship or spaceship game systems would also be appreciated.
As always, thanks for your help!
