Wow, this game is really good!
Combine equal measures of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Elite, and Leisure Suit Larry into a large vessel and shake well. Serve chilled.
I had some time at my hands and thought I'd try to make a game. I always liked Star Trek, as that concept allows for nearly unlimited expansion probabilities
As you noticed, elite, curse of monkey Island and some humorous sci-fi tropes found the way into it as well. ;)
The mission statement was: Make it a game first and then add some NSFW...
