What if a friendly group of Droyne dismantle it, upgrade the bits and then rebuild it for you...

No, they are not stealthy.

Passive radar and lidar require a separate transmitter for the radio waves or laser beams, the detectors can be separate systems and on a different vessel. Since active transmission of radio and laser for sensor purposes makes you much easier to spot, then putting the radio and laser transmitters in...

That would put you into FF&S territory...

Repulsors need to be re-introduced to the game as the primary missile defence. Most Traveller versions include them, they were removed in TNE when missiles were changed to bomb pumped lasers - although using FF&S you could build kinetic kill missiles... At the ACS scale of things ECM, sand and point...

Will there be a kickstarter for this?

We get to play the Zhodani???

Take my money now...

For me the answer to the thread's question is a clear and definite YES!

I agree completely.

If the system can build its own SDBs then it has a shipyard. Similarly if a system has military bases and operates SDBs then it can have shipyards/maintenance and repair facilities. It has been long accepted in the OTU at least that the starport and shipyard denoted in a world's UPP is for civilian ...

A thousand credits should abbreviate to kCr not KCr... chromium as slang for money - lol, just lol; no, even better, rofl rofl More seriously - the generic term credit works well because you can change it if you want to make it setting specific, but if it was changed in the core rule book, well back...

High and Dry is good is you want a non combat oriented adventure. Players used to D&D hack and slash will need expectations set going in. Flatlined is good. Death Station - might as well just kill them during character creation. Just kidding. Kind of. Death Station is known for TPK. I have run Deat...

Death Station

Signs and Portents issue 87 for the MgT version.

The magic heat sinks take care of that...

That's because they understand orbital mechanics...

There is no stealth in space, painting a hull black just makes it better at radiating in the thermal part of the spectrum which makes it easier to spot.

I think we must have pretty much the same subscription list on you tube - but if you want to start understanding this stuff you are going to have to go and learn the physics and maths behind it = give this a spin for a start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xodtfM1r9FA&list=PLu7cY2CPiRjVY-VaUZ69bXHZ...

1. I mean dead stop: the universe can continue to revolve around you. You would have to take into account the relative motion of every galaxy in the universe, there is no such thing as a neutral reference frame since spacetime itself is expanding. 2. As I recall the current formula, it's more bonus...

1 - when you say stop, what do you mean? You will still have motion relative to the system, the galactic core etc. 2 - why? misjumps can only be caused by jumping within 100D and/or unrefined fuel use 3 - yes - but the femtosecond difference isn't much to worry about, although... there is a rather n...

What are the issues as you see them?

It's a slow day here in lockdown Britain so I just took a look at the four Mongoose Traveller kickstarter campaigns I have backed, these numbers are rounded approximates: DNR 1200 bkr, £111,000 GR 1130 bkr. £113,000 JTAS 900 bkr, £64,000 ECC 561 bkr, £43,000 avg 950 bkr, £83,000 Merc appears to be d...
