To gain a benefit from extra hands the helpers would have to be qualified to do the job. If that is the case then at minimum the person rolling the skill check would receive a Boon. If a Traveller has help, such as good tools, competent aids or other beneficial circumstances, he receives a Boon. CR...

Jeff,

No apologies needed. You made all the right decisions. The magazine will persevere and come out next when you are able to do so.

Work on your family first. It's far more important.

Take care.

Amen to this.

I am so very, very sorry for your and your family's incredible loss.

Have you looked into Mongoose's "Agents" supplement for 1e? It does go into some detail of Imperial-level agents with law enforcement capabilities.

I don’t have the book but doesn’t the Theeve Cluster supplement discuss black market weapons/upgrades/exotic toys?

If not that would be a cool Referee’s Briefing.

Mongoose's "Agent" and "Scoundrel" supplements for Traveller do.

Almost makes you wonder there wouldn't be very harsh penalties for civilian craft to be sporting PAs considering how nasty they are. I'm sure they have a unique signature that screams "Shoot me'. Oh, I'll bet. And the moment an Imp Navy ship spots that signature coming off of a civvy, all bets are ...

Excellent post, steve98052! Logical enough for me to amend my campaign and remove harmful residual radiation from particle weapon effects.

And don't forget that radiation is the gift that keeps on giving. Not much point in boarding a ship that's heavily irradiated by multiple PA hits. That radiation doesn't just go away instantly. It keeps spreading its effects to anyone who get close enough to its radiating source.

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

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.
