Paying off people in the know maybe not. But EM signals propagate freely in all directions. This is a threat to the 'Theev operation' growing exponantially with every stron radio transmission sent out, with every jump signature generated and with every passing year. So any clean-up will cost exponan...

I have come to think about the pirate world of Theev. Of course, all my ideas are in anticipation, what my players might come up with. I try to keep this spoiler-free, but it might not work out for everyone. So please, feel free to moderate or not read. Now, everyone who ran Pirates of Drinax knows,...

Inside you will find: • Guidance on running the campaign with new perspectives and schemes the Travellers can attempt. • A complete Assets and Factions system, allowing the Travellers to build a network of havens and supporting organisations across the sector. • A detailed look at the nature of pir...

Thanks for the clarification! Sounds like a game changer and definitely interesting.

I second that! I currently have a Pirates of Drinax campaign runnint on Roll20 and could use deck plans that integrate neatly in to the software. I know, there are deck plans for core book and HG2 ships, but it's a pain to extract them into a usable format and implement them into Roll20. Doing this ...

Just to clarify for me as someone who has not yet read JTAS Vol. 6: The hop drive technology still uses the standard jump length of around 7 days?

Neat idea! High Efficiency Batteries (TL12) hold 60 points of power per dton, while 10 low berths take 1 power point per round and emergency low berths take 1 power point for 4 berths. A portable system might be somewhere in between and less energy efficient since it's supposedly a single berth per ...

I read on the main page's release schedule that a Drinax Companion is due to be released this month. Is this still on track? I'd like to implement it as much as possible, as we just started to play. But currently we're playing weekly. So, if there is a delay, I might need to defer some plot lines th...

Holographic implies three dimensional projection, presumably at a rather limited range not much beyond a couple of metres from the hull, maybe less, maybe more, that fools shipboard sensors. I thought about this for a while and actually like the concept very much. I will rule for my game that one c...

I appreciated the interviews very much, thanks for the links!

Hmmm... this is not how I imagined the holographic projector, but it certainly would change things, if the Harrier could appear, let's say as a Free Trader or (mostly) any other 200 dton vessel.

Do you have a channel where this went up and is archived? I had to miss the live stream, but I would like to watch it today or tomorrow.

It can do a bit more, but not a lot. The shape will always remain the same and the Harrier is a unique ship in 1105, very likely the last of her class to fly. It's not really easy to hide that from everybody. And it's rather easy to track her back to Drinax. There are not a lot former users of the c...

and the freighter and its crew may not even be able to pass any meaningful information along to the authorities afterward! Well, except that it was a one-of-a-kind ship class. Honestly, the holographic hull I find not very impressive. The Harrier is a stealth attack craft that can change it's visua...

I understand your concerns about the particle weapon completely and yes, the Harrier class is actually a ship of war and not perfectly suited for piracy, although it can do that, too. It does have a rather small cargo bay for pirated goods. And then there the fact that it's extremely expensive to re...

Well, there is definitely a machine controlling power available to some psions.

I'd infiltrate robots to get human intelligence.

Interesting choice, skin jobs are definitely possible. But wouldn't they be quite obvious to Zhodani, since they don't give any return, when telepathy is used on them?

I think it's in the Psionics chapter of the core rulebook or a nother chapter on psi-tech, where it's mentioned that official diplomats are allowed to use psi-shields when operating in the Consulate. But other people need permits from the Zhodani government. Now, since corruption seems rather low in...

Hi there! Is this file still available? The Dropbox link appears to be dead. I'm compilating my own Excel file right now, but I'd like to take a look at other GM's work. If only for the sake of saving time.

Excellent! I've been waiting for the article on Jump Masking and Interstellar Courses for a while now. By the way, did the author or one of the users here already do the math on the jump shadow the super-massive black hole at the center of our galaxy would/should produce? The black hole is about 4.1...
