Here are the scans of the rules. Let me know if any are too terrible to use.

You... don't understand how a general can have a good plan?
Wat.
I thought of a NES when I saw Starlife's idea, based on what I'd rather see.
The premise would be based roughly on Ben Bova's Grand Tour series of novels.
Our very own solar system is a huge place, with endless possibilities well within our own reality. My NES would attempt to stick to at least plausible science, set perhaps 50-100 years in the future. So that means, no faster-than-light travel, no unobtainium, and a good attempt at making sense. I'm not a physicist and I have no degrees, so I wouldn't promise perfect accuracy but I'm not afraid of a little internet research.
Out of control global warming, widespread famine, increasingly unstable political atmosphere, and a desperate demand for natural resources have all caused Earth to look outward for survival.
The players take the role of private corporations that are leading the way to the rich resources of space. Their goal is profit and they must please their investors first and foremost. They can do this by mining valuable resources, selling research to academics back on Earth, or by selling services to other corporations.
Each player starts with offices on earth and access to the International Space Station located at L1, and perhaps a point system with which they can specialize their company.
I've never modded a NES before, so I'd love some advice for running this. I have the concept down pretty well, but I don't really know what to do for the rules.
I know I'd like to have a tech tree, and was thinking a system of pluses and minuses to a dice roll for decision making.
Is there any interest out there for a hard science NES like this?
is there any interest in another fantasy NES? are people sick of the FFH universe or can it be revisited? Is there 7 players interested in a FFH NES?
well, i was thinking of a mix of fall from heaven (FFH) and earthdawn (if people remember that). instead of mulcarn covering the world in ice and snow, ceridwen would cover the world with all-consuming horrors...
in both cases its a 'recover after the apocolypse' type scenerio.
i have some maps up in the ultimate map thread if anyone is interested.
