High Guard wrote:The ship will have 1 Hull point for every full 2.5 tons of hull.

Note that applies to ships of up to 25,000 tons.

Thanks for sharing, Shammond42. That's pretty sweet. Proof that your starship looking awesome and looking like a vacuum cleaner are not mutually exclusive. But can it transform into a Mega Maid? https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/df1d4f7d-1bf8-4061-8995-26ec2c0ce5df/dnh1ir-b4...

MgT, in contrast, only allows two computers. The cost to install one is negligible, but what is are the mechanical advantages in MgT of having a second onboard computer? The second computer is there for backup if there is a hit to the main computer or other trouble (perhaps some rogue snuck aboard ...

So today I fired a 12" railway gun at a landed Free Trader. Just by way of an experiment.

What where the results of the experiment?

You can use whatever you want. But there was never any intention of relating to anything else. Just something that would work within the game.

Requires skill: Seafarer.

Maybe not, just need to go in and retrieve, don't need to operate the boat.

Might need Heavy Weapons and/or Explosives though to clear the way to the container.

A party of Travellers shall be sent to retrieve the books. Doesn't pay a lot but offers plenty of adventure! Please apply within.

Is a discussion of what is and is not available to a tramp trader in terms of weapons something that should be added to the book? I know that each GM can change things to suit their game, but for baseline concepts, where is the line drawn? No nukes? but ortillery capacity is ok? Another thread on t...

I'm not proposing that the UNREP has cars and holds a dozen people -- I think the transport system that runs down the spine of the ship might do that.

LIke the original Batlestar Gallactica, during alerts the warriors can be seen riding one on occasion.

The issue with cybernetics within a Traveller game is that, unlike cyberpunk games in which cybernetic enhancements are a core part of the game, Traveller imposes no penalties, only benefits, for augmentation. An extreme social prejudice against augmentation is one way to mitigate this. The Mongoos...

A thermonuclear bomb might be ticking deep in the cores of some dead stars. A new theoretical study traces out how certain stellar corpses known as white dwarfs could accumulate a critical mass of uranium that would trigger a massive supernova explosion. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/some...

Mixed bag of comments: In one of Elizabeth Moon's Familias Regnant novels, one of the main characters ends up on a "ship" which is basically a mobile space station. Mobility of an elephant, dedicated escort force, expensive as heck, capable of nearly rebuilding ships from scratch - probably could b...

I also thought the space station chapter in High Guard was quite redundant, except for the specific station items. But, all craft in space are space craft. I wouldn't mind a revised HG with those pages containing all the other shipbuilding items used in other sources. I've suggested consolidating t...

I understand apologize, if my comment came across too harshly; it was meant as a review not and insult.

Oh it didn't, was just agreeing with you.

For the record: I do not understand, why space stations are treated in any way different than ships, when in fact they are just space vessels with different rules for bridges (mainly: cheaper and smaller) and a couple of extra options of what to install (shipyards, residential zones, manufacturing ...

Any plans to develop any of the outlying sectors? The Beyond, Vanguard Reaches or Far Frontiers? More would be awesome!

The upcoming Spinward Extents covers both The Beyond and Vanguard Reaches.

Not currently using any for Traveller but have used IRC and MapTool.

It certainly seems that way. But rest assured, the content seemed to be exactly as in the PDF.

Well, meant MJD in that case.
