The recently-released Heat Signature seems like fantastic inspiration for any sci-fi Blades hacks. You play as a mercenary, taking contracts (scores), flying around, breaking into ships. Break-ins often flow in a very Bladesey fashion from “going in quiet and controlled” to “something went wrong” to “frantically trying to lose the twelve guards following me, get through three locked doors, teleport past another group of guards, and break a window to space both my assassination target and myself, all before the ship arrives at its home port and I get captured”. You’re also, like in Blades, a hyper-competent character up against forces that outnumber and outgun you. And there’s a meta-game of taking space-territory, quite similar to Claims, offering you new gear and bases of operation and eventually leading you to kick out all the big gangs.
