Sculpts for the Aslan and Vargr look great. Will they be added to the core box set - or will they be sold as separate add on/expansion packs?

Looks like added with stretch goals.

I try to spread my sensors around the ship, to let the whole ship serve as a distributed array of sensors - even those that don't explicitly have that upgrade (which, perhaps, just don't have enough sensors to get the mechanical benefit). I figure the equipment for the sensors is used for processin...

Few of the ship costs in High Guard match the actual High Guard rules.

Well, they do but the printed ones don't always.

Yes, each cost is applied on its own.

The modules wheren't designed with the rules. Just design a module the same as you would a normal ship with whatever parts it needs, this will include a hull to hold the module together. The extra cost for a modular hull is already figured into the main ship and doesn't need to be figured into the m...

Here's a question: Just how much information is there that it requires four 5-ton mail drums to transport it in a secure vault? I should think that with the advancements in storage technology from TL8 to TL15 that four 5-ton mail drums could carry every holovideo ever made throughout the Imperium f...

Auto-Repair software seems to be missing from the computer software selection.

It is referenced in the core rules p155 under Automated Duties, but I could find no mention of it, nor pricing in either the core rules or HG.

Core Rulebook ship computer software is on page 151.

D. Held for questioning: This likely lasts a few days (might take some time for whoever happens to be interested in questioning them to even get there) eventually let go when there isn't enough evidence against them, but closely watched and followed after they are let go.

Do any Traveller fans in this group never play the roleplaying portion of the game?

There's a roleplaying portion to the game¿ I thought it was just a spaceship construction system...

It is more reasonable, but the crew levels indicated in High Guard (and the ship space dedicated to them) do not factor this in.

Most ships have full staffing, which allows a larger body of replacements. Though there are ships that do use the reduced staffing.

One of the things I did for my own Traveller Universe, was to create a set of "Fleet jump rules".

High Guard (2e) covers Synchronised Jumps on page: 14.

I’m mulling over a house rule that would require a software package to collect and process sensor data from multiple ships into a cohesive picture. End effect would be the same as a collection net or distributed array. Distance between vessels in the net and differences in sensor capabilities ship-...

The crates have more then just food in them (possibly some form of smuggling). Perhaps involving customs finding the items, or the criminal elements come to retrieve the items.

The food is spoiled or tainted in some way and the shipment is refused.

The original idea was to include a chapter on boarding actions. But it was decided that would be better for a separate product.

Also... where are the MGT2 race books? Veteran players say "Oh, there's no urgent need, they're covered pretty well in MGT1" -- guess what? NEW players don't have MGT1 books and don't want to buy MGT1 books because they are firmly grounded in MGT2 books. Race books and the Companion are big ticket ...

I believe that was the whole purpose to 'give' players a PA weapon. It convinces targets they have little other choice and gives a.... slight edge on warships so they might get away. Wow, dilemma. Partially, it is meant as a heave to or else, also the range was a factor for ships that are silly eno...

An unwritten rule has been "within 20%". Most deck plan makers have used as much as 20% over listed tonnage to allow adequate corridors and access space around the components. Oh it is written (almost): STEP TWO: Check the overall tonnage of the ship. Each ton is usually represented by 2 squares on...

Why do they have to be your own age?

If nobody in your area will (and those ones don't sound like they are worth it), then that doesn't mean giving up gaming, there's the possibility of some form of online play, there's also gaming conventions. Or some form of gaming that doesn't involve RPG's.

Well, cutlass would be the usual for the Marines:

Classic Traveller Book 4: Mercenary wrote:Whenever a marine rolls a blade skill, it must be taken as Cutlass unless the character successfully makes a saving throw against marine tradition.

This. Also, I'd love to see some traveller on a smaller scale, places with tons of adventure that can be used as a base or visited frequently. A starport - orbital and downport, detailed like a fantasy city supplement. A city under the sea, or in the clouds of a gas giant, that sort of thing. You s...
