I like the ideas of there being something is space, anything. It does need to
be an astral barrier for assensing but need not be an absolote. After all if
you look at all the megacorps (Except Aztecnology) and the list Aerospace as
a business they provide. They also have Zuric Orbital, Japan's Solar
generators, etc.. These things would be restrictive to any game if some
advanced PCs had the need for space flight. See my example under Martian
Adventure.

As far as sealing magic up in space. Couldn't you fill the walls with FAT
bacteria like in the corp security handbook? If you did wold the inside side
have mana and the outside side not?



In response to the idea of magic won't work in space. I feel FASA hasn't (As
usual) delt with a really needed subject an that is space. If it doesn't work
in space then would the metagene exist in space. If someone that was very
young in space then returned to earth and he had the meta gene for orcs then
would it trigger? Before you answer yes realize the gene is suppose to
trigger at puberty (or there about) if he wasn't efected by magic during
puberty then would it remain dormant? Or like in the first Goblinizations
would he revert when coming in contact with earths mana-feild? If he did
change then would it be defined by the region? ...or by the region he was
born in? Or lets say he was born in space and he had the dwarven metagene but
human parents. What would be his metahuman status? CAN O WORMS!!!!
