There is one in French Arm Adventures. The new 2300AD core book will have one in it (along with a Pentapod ship and a Sung spaceplane), and when Aerospace Engineer's Handbook (ship design and advanced rules) is released, it will have a few more.

That would be "Colin Dunn" :D I do not see 2300AD 2nd Ed being released as a standalone book. If anything, some of character generation complexity would be dialled back to improve the compatibility with core traveller. However, the ship design book will be stand-alone. I'm reviewing new environmenta...

The rules themselves were good, but some of the work around them was not. Since it was my work, I can be honest about it. I've had some life challenges over the last few years, which is at the root of the slow release of material for 2300AD. I expect changes there soon. The biggest change was the wa...

Yep, that looks right.

Hey... So, yeah... The ships in Ships of the French Arm were designed using a different design sequence, the Aerospace Engineer's Handbook. The intent was to publish this design sequence shortly thereafter, but there were some issues. Then v2 of Traveller was announced, and I had to revamp the desig...

The Aerospace Engineer's Handbook (currently in the hot and sweaty hands of the Mongeese) is an updated ship design system built on HG2e.

No ducks, but there are enhanced ravens... (also, dogs, cats, octopus,maybe a horse..?) Only true Uplifts are the dolphin, and they aren't really happy about it. In other news, yes, new material will be coming. The Mongeese have two books from me at the moment, and a third, "Bayern" from Gavin Dady....

Me too! Wait...

I guess that means I have to write it.

30% complete on the Core book, 80% complete on the Aerospace Engineer's Handbook. Work underway on the new intro adventure.

The Aerospace Engineer's Handbook has been pushed back due to the planned release of the new version of Traveller. Atlas of the French Arm is in layout right now, and should be out fairly soon. I am currently working on Aliens of the French Arm. As noted above, Gavin has finished the Bayern campaign...

There are no rules for different atmosphere types and their effect on firearms. If you want the added complexity, say that there is a -1DM on To Hit for weapons in either Thick (or higher) or Very Thin (or lower) atmospheres. Add another -1DM for Corrosive or Insidious Atmospheres. All weapons can f...

Originally, there had been a "hypersonic" mod for Jet Aircraft Chassis. but I coldn't make it work out how I wanted. I didn't use a separate chassis, though that works too. My version had a mod that boosted speed and range, at the expense of space and cost. I wouldn't mind seeing your "hypersonic" c...

The new set of rules is called "The Aerospace Engineer's Handbook" it will be out soon. Either just before or just after Atlas of the French Arm.

The revised times are based, to an extent, on real-flight times.

Only for shots to the face, in case of a called shot.

As far as the Annoying Traits go, if they really, fundamentally change the character or make them unplayable, change them. The point is to have fun, afterall. Or maybe talk to your Referee, and see if you can make an END or INT check to suppress the traits for a period of time, perhaps based on the ...

I would say "Depressed" would resolve itself more as an inability to concentrate and carry through on things. I would say that it would give a -1 DM to skill checks that have already failed once, and a -1 DM to any skill check that would take longer than 10 minutes.

Hmmm. I wonder if you (well, me) could make a 2300AD "Powered by Traveller: Liftoff!" thing where the rules are integrated in to the setting book...

There seems to be a table missing...

I know I have it somewhere. I will try to post it tonight...

I just posted a new book of grav vehicles for Traveller on RPGNow/Drivethru: http://www.rpgnow.com/product/119916/Grav-Vehicles

They are for a setting that is under development, but usable in any Traveller game. Not from Mongoose, but my own imprint, Northern Edge Publishing.

Tech assumptions for Mongoose 2300 were based on the original tech assumptions of Traveller:2300/2300AD, and the Naval Architects guide. Fusion and fission plants are fairly large, with a high minimum size, but produce power without an external fuel requirement. Fuel cells are small, but expensive w...
