I'd just use the Modular Hull rules from High Guard Update 2022 (p.44). Hull modules cost Cr25000 per ton and the description of modules says they can be used for anything from missile bays to laboratories (which seems to suggest life support, including gravity).

Now that's just teasing! :)

Not Mongoose, but the first mention of containers I can find is in The Traveller Adventure from 1983. The deckplans of the March Harrier shows a -Standard Cargo Shipping Module- which is 3x3x6m, or 8 deckplan squares, which is 4dT. It even talks about reversing grav plates in the hold to allow...

Where do those figures come from?

This has been discussed a bit in a recent thread Efficient space only freighter design. IIRC all were agreed on the ends being 3mx3m but then people preferred different lengths. 7.5m (5dT) and 15m (10dT) make sense from a game perspective as that matches the trade tables. Personally I prefer...

Thanks for updating the files. Much appreciated. However... :) I agree with previous posters that you should follow ISO 8601 (yr/mo/da) when it comes to adding dates. CSC compressed won't open in MS Edge or Adobe Acrobat Reader on my Windows machine.

An interesting thread which I seem to have spent far too much time thinking about :) Whilst I like Geir's idea of the 5 and 10dT containers as they match the trade and spec lots, I prefer J.L. Brown's 4, 6 and 8dT for a couple of reasons. The first is that they are close to the 20, 30 and 40...

Do you have a guestimate of when the printed edition will be released? Will Book 3 be released on its own sometime, for those of us who already own the main rulebook?

The Sensor Table might be missing but the relevant DM is included in the individual ship descriptions.

True. But wouldn't that break the "Unless otherwise noted, only one type of armour can be worn at a time." rule?

As you've both said, I think Reflec is the classic (and only?) second layer of armour you can wear. Perhaps the paragraph needs a slight clarification? "Unless otherwise noted, only one type of armour can be worn at a time. If a second layer is worn resolve damage from the outside in – damage...

Just in case it hasn't already been caught: P.94 "Unless otherwise noted, only one type of armour can be worn at a time. Resolve damage from the outside in – damage that gets through the outer layer of armour is next applied to the inner layer." If only one type of armour can be worn why have...

I was looking at the Corporate Agent through the lens of re-watching Leverage and saw them more of a Grifter in their approach, although Hacker would also work.

Carousing would seem to be a big part of a corporate agent's activites; gathering rumours, schmoozing etc. I suggest replacing Gun Combat with Carouse on their skill table. Gun Combat is still available on the Service Skills table.

Another vote for being able to choose the printer friendly version to POD.

I ran the four organised play mods for some friends at a UK convention a few years back and they were very popular. Not sure how suitable Secrets would be in organised play as potentially chopping between groups of pcs might be a bit jarring. I've not read Pirates but the premise of groups...

Yeah, the skill descriptions in the LBBs were pretty horrendously laid out :D The borders were also noticably smaller. The Traveller Book on the other hand (the 8.5" by 11.5") is much better. Most page spreads have at least one illustration (admittedly most are about 1/8 of a page) and has a...

I'm going to have a grognard moment :-) I look at what The Traveller Book achieved in 160 pages and wonder why we would need more than 200 and still not include ship building rules? How can a book with 40 more pages have less rules content? I don't envy Mongoose having to juggle the customer...

An interesting dilemma and also interesting to see how people prioritise things differently :-) That would be better. I went back and checked the book and Scouts are the only space-based career that doesn't have Vacc Suit on their Service Skills table. I may have to go all grognard and check...

Possibly. My basic problem is that it's feels wrong that a Scout comes out of basic training able to use a gun but not a vacc suit.
