It could be different versions of a ship class. There are 4 different flights (I, II, IIA and III) of the Arliegh Burke class destroyer. Flight I comes in at 8300 tons, while Flight III comes in at 9700 tons. It may be ok that the authors have somewhat different implementations of a ship class...

If someone creates the 1000D limit to prevent a craft from reaching relativistic speeds could they not accomplish something similar by having the rule apply at the boundary of the heliopause? That would still allow any part of the solar system that could be of any interest be reached. I think I...

What is the purpose of the 1000D limit?

I voted for both Ancient Britain and Other, with the “Other” being the Bronze Age setting of Greece/Crete/Egypt/Middle-East prior to the Bronze Age collapse. For the “Other” traveling aspect would be going between the various civilizations. Fight monsters. Trade in wines and olive oil. Whether...

As the topic asks, if the Deepnight Entity is an existential threat to the galaxy, why would Grandfather not be worried about dealing with it? I am assuming that Grandfather would be aware of the danger, but it seems like a safe assumption. Is he just not going to bother eliminating the threat...

If a carbine would be included it would likely be an extremely light model, similar to this. https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/us-survival-rifle/ I don’t recall that the Traveller has something like this already, but it shouldn’t be hard to stay something similar.

I don’t think the “dog in the manger” metaphor is apt. People have the physical book, and it was promised to them as an exclusive. I don’t think these will explode in value, but it’s more about Mongoose holding themselves to their stated commitment. It would devalue the value of their word if...

I object. The printed copy is a KS exclusive. It wasn’t offered as a KS exclusive for “a decent time period”. To print it again outside of the KS would devalue to the point of invalidating future promises of KS exclusives.

Is the the correct picture to go with volume 3?

Did several products gets their dates for physical products pushed out? I could swear that Project Bayern was scheduled for an April print release.

When I first saw “PoD” the first thing that came to mind was “Print on Demand” and I was confused for a minute as well.

I appreciate all the feedback, but I also feel like I ought to apologize for starting up a dust up. I’m sorry, guys!

Well the setting is going to be at the point where the stack is just “now” being created and implemented. Otherwise the setting was at TL15. A likely focus would be the characters being part of a covert organization attempting to prevent the stack technology from getting a strong foothold within...

Those are some fun shenanigans that my players would likely have to deal with.

I’ve been looking through the Robot Handbook for a means by which a previously existing human consciousness can be downloaded to a storage device and implanted into a clone/biological robot that gets put into cryo until thawed for use. I can’t seem to find that possibility in the current rules...

If that is actually the case then I’d expect the use of missiles/ammo to consume multiples per shot at non-dogfighting ranges. I think space combat is best represented as being either similar to classic Star Trek (shots taken tens of thousands of kilometers apart) or like Star Wars with...

I forgot about the shift in time scale for dogfighting ranges. It’s hard to make consistent sense out of the shift in my head, but those are the rules. I could see it argued that energy weapon systems could fire faster at a lower expense in power per individual shot, but keep the same damage...

This may be a tangent to the discussion, but wouldn’t the slow rate of fire of High Guard weapons make them far less desirable for combat vehicles? I didn’t think their rate of fire (once every 6 minutes) would change based on being mounted on a standard vehicle instead of a starship. I...

We won’t be playing much after their return, but they’d definitely will want to return, collect their rewards and narrate their retirements and/or fund their next set of Travellers in a merchant campaign of some sort. I think I’ll give them all a 1-3 point increase in their SOC stats. If there...

Has anyone determined what compensation the crew is supposed to be offered for going on a 20+ year mission with a high level of danger, and a substantial possibility of not returning? I understand that on a meta-level it may not matter to the players because if they’re playing the campaign...
