And why can there be only one artificial person like Data?

His brother doesn't count?

I've never seen this mentioned in any official Traveller materials. Is it a condition of the license or something? MWM's opinion on it seems clear from his novel. (edit: Sure there's a complete new body available at TLs well beyond 15, but a specialised human DNA gender swap should be available at ...

I'The 1st is that on The Floating Palace Life Events Table A roll of A 6 then A 2nd 6 says you discover you are The Bastard Son of King Oleb but its possible for A Female to roll that event. Why? In that case the female is forced to take the gender reassignment DNA modification as Oleb wanted a son.

Is this from a Mongoose product? Or did I copy and paste from another source? Does any of this ring a bell?

Haven't seen it myself. T5 maybe?

A bit of bad news, I am afraid. Graphics Girl Amy was forced to make the decision to leave us this week, due to ongoing health reasons. She has left a huge hole here at Mongoose, and we wish her the very best in her trials ahead. While you may not be familiar with her, you have most certainly seen ...

Never said building habitats that had the combined size of a planet. That would be rather... large. I just said large habitats. They could be O'Neill cylnders, a regular boring torus, or any other shape. The idea being that it would be easier than to try and move a planet (which even in Traveller t...

The closest game I’ve seen to Traveller is Star Traders: Frontiers, although it’s totally different to Elite

There has also been:

Trader (put out by GDW)

Megatraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy
Megatraveller 2: Quest for the Ancients

Wing Commander Privateer

How do you know the flare was seen? It's the same as a messenger.

Not the same. Not saying it's foolproof but better then sending 100 messengers.

There are 2 generals, jointly besieging an enemy in a valley. Both generals must attack at the same time or they will be defeated piecemeal. The only way they can communicate is to send a messenger through the valley, and this messenger may be intercepted. How then does any general know if his mess...

In my case it was the docking computer amusingly failing to line up on the entrance properly and bouncing off the wall, no serious damage. But funny since the docking computer is supposed to be competent... It was programmed by grandfather and only meant to talk to other Droyne systems, anything el...

The 200 dton SDB (page 124) has an one maintenance staff, one adminstrator and one officer. Pilot x3, Engineer, Maintenance, Medic, Gunner x4, Administrator this is 11 crew so 1 officer. (Not counting the captain who has other stuff to do then keep an aye on the others). Even if some of the existin...

I managed to hurt my back this weekend moving a guinea pig cage...

Sounds like mine, been acting up the last couple of days, though didn't actually do anything in particular to trigger it.

I on the other hand am plagued by a malfunctioning carbon monxide alarm, using my old glasses because my new indestrucitble ones... destructed. And my foot hurts because I tried to kick Nate in the face and he parried my instep with the shell guard of a gymansium sabre. That one we might consider s...

Which brings me to the second part of my post: Is there a definitive errata for Second Edition anywhere? I've searched this forum and the net in general but not actually found anything that I'm convinced is an "official" errata. There isn't one, but you are welcome to mention errors on here. You ca...

The system already is quite forgiving for spaces, as many things are handwaived (lifesupport being one of them). I just figure life support equipment is figured in already, each 1 ton space includes the life support necessary for that space. As for a central location could be useful, what if life s...

One could use the breakaway option and make different parts out of different hulls.

Question can be if I shut down the maneuver drive do I save fuel proportional to the amount of power it uses? As far I know the rules don't make such an allowances possibly because the power produced by the fuel over weeks to operate the maneuver drive is insignificant to bean count. I do consider ...

The block feature would work if he didn’t constantly start new threads. He is abusing the goodwill of well intentioned members of this forum, and deliberately detracts from community.

You can click on their name and select Add foe.

Does this mean stealth jump "requires two Advantages" (HG, page 48)? OK, but I've read somewhere in the forum this is not the case anymore.
Who is right, Drinax's Harrier or GSbAG’s Incarnate?

Stealth jump only requires one Advantage. Should have been updated in the book.

Besides, assuming the Harrier has more thrust than its opponent, it can separate out of dog fight range whenever it wants and just blast away.

Side note, not a Harrier.
