We know from the 2e core rulebook that you can reduce this by powering down non-essential systems, like "the chicken soup dispenser on deck C", and this halves power requirements (that seems a bit high, but good for playability). Is this as far as we want to go with this? What about lighting? Proba...

I use neither Twitter nor Facebook. My preference would be either this forum or bring back the Planet Mongoose blog on the homepage.

The blog still exists:

Can’t you just email previous customers with a newsletter?

There was one once upon a time.

So, what platforms would you like to see advance Traveller information on?

How about just putting it up on your own forum?

My VTT game has openings for another player or two....

Probably best in a new thread with some details. Days/time, details on the campaign what platform you are using.

That indeed could be done - but Martin is about to embark on a mega-project that will shake the stars themselves (well, quite a few of them at any rate)...

He's secretly developing a certain Darrian weapon?

I consider the ion weapon more of a homage to Empire Strikes Back than an OTU sort of thing. Don't know where the Tachyon Cannon came from but that's another issue... High Guard is meant as a toolkit, not everything will fit into the OTU. Yes, some stuff was added to use for different universes, so...

We have not got a shipping date yet, but it is at the printers right now!

I'll send the Harrier over to confiscate the shipment on the grounds of state security.

Sniffs...how would you tell infected Aslan apart from normal ones?

Shoot first and ask questions later.

I’ve never bought into the idea that people would ever travel in low berths as written in anything but the most dire circumstances, given the risks involved. It’s never really mattered in any of my campaigns, but I’ve gone with the idea that the low berth revival is a routine check (6+ rather than ...

What happened to the Order of the White Star?!? And what is the other "shadow psion" branches now?

They moved to Babylon 5 so they could crew White Stars.

It is my understanding that a jump drive needs to be powered for the entire week it is operating. Batteries cannot do that unless you have the power plant capacity to keep recharging them in which case the batteries are redundant. But the M-drive, sensors and weapons are not used in jump space so t...

It says it comes with a 1-ton double turret, but it doesn't specify what kind of weapon they are or list a power requirement for them. I see people using the term "hard points" which I have not seen in the core book. I'm assuming they go into that in in High Guard. The Type S Scout Courier comes wi...

Under Fuel Tank for a ship the main book gives you a total amount of fuel, and a number of weeks of operation that that fuel provides. Is that the number of weeks of operation assuming you don't use the jump drive in that time, and then you recalculate accordingly when you jump? That's weeks of ope...

And yes, AndrewW is correct, I did write The Glorious Empire . I hope you all enjoy it when it comes out. Old School was a proofreader on the project (and inspired dozens of additional ideas during its development), so if anything is wrong with it, we can blame him. So we can't enjoy it before it c...

3) Christopher Griffen did Reach Adventure 6: Exodus , and I cannot wait to incorporate it into my PoD campaign. I hope, he's the one writing the Glorious Empire sourcebook due in autumn. He has also done a TAS adventure on the GlEm, but I have not read it yet. I wonder, if it contains any GlEm shi...

Don’t know about the core rulebook ships as much, but the high guard ships are riddled with dozens of errors.

AD’s link in the post above is the best effort I’ve seen at correcting them.

The Core Rulebook ships are also in High Guard and thus corrected there.

Self sealing was around in 1st edition High Guard as well, it was just made auto instead of an add on in 2nd edition.

Rumors of such tech might make for a wonderful MacGuffin for an mystery/espionage-focused Traveller campaign. With a discovery at some point that the tech never existed (a con or a false-flag op), that the proposed tech cannot work (gross misinterpretation, misinformation, or a seriously deluded pr...

I vote for M-Drive generated field-effect inertia sump <waves hands frantically in all possible directions>

You forgot to say "These aren't the M-Drives you are looking for."
