Don't forget treachery by someone inside and even honest negotiation for those players who prefer a more intellectual rather than violent way of ending things. Believe it or not, despite all the military tactics available, the most successful sieges were those that ended with talking. Starvation was...

For psionic use between two species that has similar sensory organs, simplistic imagery would seem to work best. But the sensory experiences of both need to be extremely similar, like those of the various humanity species and Vargr. Trying to communicate imagery psionically between something like a ...

Naval Customs Officer: Captain, can you explain why we found a laser weapons system that fills up a 100-ton bay on your ship during our inspection? Lab Ship Captain: We're a lab ship. It's a communications laser we're researching. Naval Customs Officer: Captain, that laser will reach across an entir...

Look up Traveller Adventure #1: The Kinunir for details on what happened when the Imperium tried to install an A.I. in one of its warships.

And let's not forget the entire Virus thing that segued MegaTraveller into Traveller: The New Era.

And my PDFs have now been updated with this errata. Good catch indeed.

Astronaut Alan Bean has died at 86 years of age. Lunar Module pilot for Apollo 12, he was one of the boyhood inspirations that got me into Traveller.

"To Absent Friends"

Spaceships: Accommodations and Lower Deck Modules <snip> Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace have partnered to develop and market lower-deck modules with passenger sleeping berths. No hand rails on the stairs. No way to secure carry-ons in the luggage slots. Normal house-hold chairs. One word: turbulence. ...

Magazines as such aren't detailed out. It may be easier to imagine something along the lines of a rotary magazine like the OHP class frigates of the USN. I believe the MgT supplement for Darrians does include the description of a rotary magazine for a Darrian ship's launcher..as well as stealth tor...

Combining LHyd with oxygen to make water...didn't some guy named Mark Watney do that on Mars once?

Anyone made a flow chart? Flow charts are sweet.

This may be one. http://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1 ... 915541.png

And for you Scout explorer types, here's the link to the hosting archive. http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/26063855

I would go with the CSC since it was published later.

Agreed. Go with the later publication.

Oh, I wish. I have yet to find one.

Also note that Virtual Crew has no hands and can't polish drives or serve drinks.

And it can't fight boarders.

Funny you should mention Elite and Dangerous as I've had that game for awhile. Heh. I made my last post while my ship was supercruising across the Alpha Centauri system to a starbase at Proxima Centauri. I truly hate that star system; takes freakin' forever to cross it. Elite dangerous is a pretty ...

To stop and reverse direction you have to completely cancel your current vector. A space fighter moving at 75km/s 'north' has to apply enough thrust to cancel that before it can move south. You can't just blast across space building up a thrust related vector as you go and suddenly have no vector r...

Well, that does pretty much answer my question, as far as Traveller canon goes. NDs definitely can clean a radiated ship of the radiation. Just a matter of figuring out how long it'll take to do so.

You mean a screen against radiation from beam weapons? The explosive effects still occurring. More of a ship zaps a target into submission with a particle accelerator weapon and then wants to send over some boarders for some "inventory and acquisition". However, the boarders don't want to suffer th...

Well, Traveller Wiki says a damper can be used to remove radiation from an area. Question: is a ship the same as "an area"? Ships are made of rather dense things like structural members and, sometimes, dense armor. An area may be just a open field. Regardless of what Traveller Wiki says, I'm also le...

There have been a number of Traveller-related discussions over the past decades regarding nuclear dampers and particle accelerator weapons. So I'd thought I'd start another. Under Mongoose's 1e/2e versions, can a nuclear damper screen be used to "clean" radiation from a target about to be boarded or...
