1) Traveller
2) Albedo
These are both hard SF games that fit in well with the GSG 'feel.'

3) Heavy Gear - a bit less realistic, but still relatable to DSII/SGII
4) Fading Suns - don't know it
5) Battletech - way too high on the PSB factor, IMHO. Besides, painting
neon 'Hit Me' signs on the mechs would take too much work. >^_-<
