Core Rules book - wished it removed Psionics and added missing Pre-Career and Aliens

Yes, Scholar is the 80% overlap I was thinking of. As I say at some point I want to rough out some rules for postgraduate study, and see just how small the gap is between what I'm thinking of what scholar already gives.

Check out the 2014 Mongoose book Cosmopolite. It may have a lot of what you are looking for.

Honestly, I think it is harder to find big popular sci fi properties that don't have psi in it. The Expanse?

Right, becauses they are ~40 years behind in their science knowledge. I would laugh as much if they included phrenology in sci fi movies.

I like psionics - they're fun. I'm currently going through the Ancients trilogy as a player and psionics are a part of that, quite a major part I suspect.

As for the Zhodani psionic talent, I've said it before, so I'll say it again, it's a mess. The Droyne ones are well thought out.

As a setting oddity it's fine. But not for the rule set in general. I'll drop sci fi into a D&D game in a specific setting & place but I refuse to have it as a default in the rules.

correct. I understand that unlike a game like D&D most Trav players play the 3I as a setting and don't build their own campaign setting
