I assumed that PS meant an event-based spaceship battle. However, to use the normal combat is certainly also an option for space battle. I know that there were several Buck Rogers in the style of UA, although I never played one. Did they have space battles in that normal combat style?
BTW, perhaps it is already discussed somewhere, but can the PC pics also be swapped?

That means, the first has e.g a chance of 10%, the following of 11, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25% and so on up to 100% for the last encounter? Or how do you make the chance equal?
This is certainly a good approach to give a lot of variability to a level/zone concerning opponents. Anyway (without meaning to deningrate this approach!), I expected something more complex...
I thought with "wandering monster", you meant something like a monster that can indeed be seen (or "felt") wandering, for example via Quest values and changing NPC walls. For example, you could make a monster (visible as an NPC-wall) retreat when the player is strong/doesn't have an item/has not killed a similar monster and attempts to approach, and make it approach/attack when the player is weak or the monster is attracted by an item or wants to revenge a fellow monster.
It would certainly be a lot of effort do do something like that for every monster, but I want do do this for some important/big opponents/monster. (And I just have a kind of Deja Vu. Did I write something like this earlier? Probably...
