I was gonna respond, but then Heavy Arms and Bunyip did it perfectly for me. Cheers.

To try and contribute further though, consider this Wealth and Cost abstraction as player facing guidance. The actual Cost of something in game has a number of factors, Supply/Demand, economics yadda yadda. So even though an assault rifle has a rather high Cost for character generation or path Access, there could be a mostly automated factory churning them out so they can be purchased relatively cheaply.

In addition to Heavy Arms' excellent points, you also have the ability to take an Artifact for a Super-Science weapon. They don't quite get an abundance of tags, but you can save on Quality or other enhancement bonus tags by using the gimme enhancement from Super-Science weapons. This will really help you get that "special weapon" vibe.

Another note, in Æon, weapons get 4 additional tags for free.

I'm excited to hear more. I love learning about other people's games, and am always glad to see other people having fun with it.

"Came for the Aberrant, stayed for the Æon." seems to be a pretty common refrain. It was my experience with 1e as well. Aberrant is an easy entry point, but then you stumble upon the rich and fertile Æon setting and you are forever changed.

If you're going to draw from Marvel, I would recommend the UNS Elsa Bloodstone, or Abigail Brand.

I could see the Qin things (planets, the under class) with alien sounding names are conceptual words that we don't have, so to make it work for we English readers, there are made up alien sounding terms. Kinda like how Tolkien had the whole thing that the word used for certain races in places in the book in English, weren't actually their names or places, even things that seem like in world terms like goblin/hobbit/orc.

Nope, just the bare details and download links. Tried the Detailed Invoice page, and it didn't have it either....

There might be an issue with this process, because my order confirmation email for Distant Worlds doesn't have any link in it other than to a detailed invoice and the download itself, and I haven't received any other emails....
