Random fun tid bit: sci fi tension can be hard.

Tell players they are a billion miles from Earth and it means nothing. Even if they understand the distance, they don't know how your sci fi ships work.


So I'm trying to really sell the idea early on in the game that you are in a bad situation. I have a gps like device that is having a lot of issues, I have an oximeter showing blood oxygen in the 80s, and I have an unknown alien planet floating nearby.
