Star Frontiers was a science fiction RPG published by TSR many years ago. It was eventually discontinued, as is standard TSR practice with all of the good game designs they create. Some of us still like the game, and even play it once in a while. While there may or may not be better systems, none have the same flavor as SF.

These are pretty variant, and I've incorporated a lot of stuff from the list.
