Background noise on a routine message I'm torn between a couple possibilities.

Ah, so it's your own personal rule, not something found in the rulebooks. Gotcha.

Now you are just babbling. Take your meds, or stop taking them. Whatever works.

What is "disingenious".

Yep. Lighting off a flare is not the best way to stay unnoticed.

No. I am applying a DIFFERENT rule. YOUR misunderstanding of the rules is making it unclear for YOU.

So the Credit is worth $10, that helps. A gallon of gasoline is then worth Cr0.3. A three bedroom home is worth Cr25,000. A hardcover novel sells for about Cr2.50 to Cr5.00. A hot dog costs Cr0.25. A hamburger, fries, and a soda cost Cr1. How do you like those prices? How do I like them? I've lived...

I'm curious about how you arrived at your lower numbers. It looks like the tonnages remained constant from the CRB, but the prices declined. According to the TL rules on pg 53 of HG, when you increase the TL of a component, tonnages goes DOWN, but prices go UP. You missed the TL price reduction rul...

Of course I'd probably drop 2 weeks of fuel capacity, and the air raft to make room for more cargo, or free up space for munitions and extra sensors/electronics systems.....I've seldom had to operate a ship for 4 weeks on a flight. and if I did I could usually find a fuel source I could skim....now...

It's probably not a top of the line model...but for a workhorse vessel it would do the job. the Turrets make mail packet contract a possible income source. I'd probably use it as a starter vessel for a new crew. cheap, with room for improvement. Of course could also see it as a ship a medium sized ...

Probably a better use for one of the hard-point tons would be for luxuries or a LB.

It looks cool, but I'd miss having an air raft. If you want more cargo, you could go for the 3 ton grav car from the vehicles book (which also has the advantage of being sealed and having basic life support). That would cut the cargo down to 69 tons, but it would also allow the crew to keep the shi...

Also I think the point about adjusting the car price to account for the significantly higher quality of cars these days is particularly significant. In many cases it's not possible to buy, and may even be illegal to sell products equivalent to those that were standard that long ago. Factors like th...

'70s mainframes outputted on greenbar paper. :lol: I remember that fan-folded paper! Remember the noisier than hell line printers that we put into sound dampening enclosures to keep from going deaf while working in the computer areas? Yup. Just got rid of a couple of boxes of green bar paper myself...

"Newest" implies a TL difference from the standard, but it is not otherwise noted. Newest does NOT imply a TL difference from anything. In that the baseline designs are TL 12 and you are not using standard drive costs, it most certainly does. Document your process properly. :lol: Does your mommy kn...

Works great. A few simple formula to tally price and tonnage and Bob's your cross dressing uncle.
