Starships: Scouts and Scouting I get the impressions that scoutships are considered as part of the milieu. But how do they fit in exactly? In military operations, reconnaissance or scouting is the exploration outside an area occupied by friendly forces to gain information about natural features and...

Gravitational wells might well curve that straight line.

I joked that hyperspace is duodimensional, and that jump bubbles are tridimensional intrusions.

There is some control over the exact length of a jump, otherwise microjumps wouldn't be an option.

Personnel Load out Been thinking a lot about this post. During a recent visit to the US Army’s Manoeuvre Center of Excellence at Fort Benning, I discussed the issue of saving weight with a senior group responsible for equipment procurement. There was unanimous agreement that whatever efforts are ma...

Starships: Hulls and Space/balls 13. Usable space is eight tonnes; three decks with the attic and the cellar each having one and a half tonnes, the central deck would have five tonnes at two and a half metre ceiling, and as per tradition, the sloping sides could be the fuel tanks. 14. Since a spher...

Starships: Hulls and Space/balls 1. I could be wrong, but my estimate of iron nickel alloy is that it's about two thirds the strength of Krupp armour plating, so twenty three centimetres would be about six inches, and constant atmospheric braking should make the surface case hardened. 2. Dents prob...

Probably more of an issue for commercial and unarmoured hulls.

However, that does bring forth a thought.

How deep can this little diving bell submerge, either in our oceans or the swirling maelstrom of a gas giant?

It tends to be a question of what the players feel comfortable with. Withina specific career path, Traveller's character generation is meant to be random, and Mongoose has tweaked it by adding skill packs for particular adventure parties, to ensure required skillsets are available. If you take the G...

As I understand this stuff, if the orbits have stabilized, more or less, over the course of hundreds of millions of years, some form of equilibrium was worked out by all existing gravitational wells. The orbits may be decaying, as all things do, but not a factor within the span of humanity's existen...

1. It's one of those circular discussions. 2. I'm pretty sure you can drift down the rabbit hole; accelerating while transitioning might be considered an unnecessary complication by the astrogator, and presumably doesn't affect the time spent in hyperspace, unless it throws off the astrogator's calc...

It was more relevant in the last edition, when rockets were smaller and cheaper, and I had a clear idea how high burn thrusters functioned.

I'm also slowly moving to more or less to one shot assault shuttles and/or drop pods.

Boarding action; plausible, if you can blast a hole through armour plating.
