    In ship design, where are the life support and grav plates accounted for?

    No. The hull just costs less.

    Standardised shipping container?

    Go really slow, and when you get it where you want it or where you need to adjust the angle, turn the plates grav plates back on. Let friction worry about inertia. Rinse and repeat until the thing is in place. IMTU, I generally include battery powered grav hand trucks for pallets incorporated...

    Traveller Starship Combat Range Calculator Wanted:

    There used to be a one page sheet out there with the numbers 1-100 in boxes on it (or was it 50?) with range bands noted. One unit stays on zero and the other side moves the net thrust (adding or subtracting enemy thrust). Missiles would work the same way on it. That would be easier than...

    GM Preserves needed

    Fortunately, only a couple of people know who did it, and they are the ones Paullie was terrorizing. Loki operates in cells, and they are in the process of dismantling this one, which actually consists of one person heading up a criminal organization leaning on other criminals. What the players...

    GM Preserves needed

    I agree with Sigtrygg. My players finished the adventure where I ported Starfield's Schrodinger's Cat scenario, and brought one of their contact's cousins and her husband (the "cat") back to where he was stationed. I decided to port the Jack Reacher story "Persuader" since they are investigators...

    Yes. The D group of mods has the 10%, 15% and 20% size reductions, with the 10%, 20% and 30% cost increases

    Is there a computer program for chargen MgT 2e plus additions

    I agree with agentwiggles. It is called RPGSuite. https://rpgsuite.com There is a free version. Most of the features you want are behind a pay wall. Not great for characters. Marginally useful for random NPC's as long as you don't need more than one good skill on the NPC. I bought several...

    {potential spoiler} Name of adventure

    I linked to Seth's video on it in your first adventure thread. He gives tips on running it.

    First adventure suggestion

    Use it to gradually tease out connections. Pair with Death station.

    Bridge Crew Stations

    For my adventure class ships, I usually try to fit in pilot, astrogator, sens-ops, engineering and a gunner station for each weapon. The gunner spots go in last in case they don't fit. Sometimes a captain's chair, especially on a larger patrol or small warship, where Naval Tactics will be of...

    Excel Traveller Trade

    As far as I am concerned it's non-commercial and open source (the overlay, not the spreadsheet software) deHap may have some concerns with the parts he added. But, I am officially out of the future editing loop to avoid messing up the multi-sector compatibility. Have fun with it.

    Robot: TL 8 Sentry Gun

    Modify the MG mount to accept a robotic controller, include one "manipulator" to allow the robot to aim, and you don't have to worry about the weapon fitting into the robot. Just the Robot ONTO the weapon.

    Excel Ship Designer

    No, it gave me the same message, and files I had linked in other threads for a couple of years were similarly not accessible, like the Custom Ships thread. Twice in a few weeks is definitely Discord deciding it doesn't want to host files. I'll just have to start attaching zip files instead of...

    Custom Ships

    For anyone looking for older deck plans and record sheets in this thread, I have attached the files directly to the posts, instead of linking from Discord, as I had been doing for several years. They should remain visible and accessible now.

    Rocket J Squirrel voice: Again? Looks like Discord is no longer a reliable way to post files.

    Highports, Downports, Docking Capacity, and Landing Pads

    Not that I am aware, but HG2022 has minimum stats for capacities of rated starports. In a vacuum, I'd use that.

    Rules Clarification: Virtual Crew Limits; can it replace every position or not? (ex. Engineers)

    It says ships that have no living crew can make checks using their VC score. That indicates an intent to allow autonomous vessels. The possible exception would be astrogator, depending on which version of canon you want to go with - or ignore.

    Robot Brain for Turret Control

    I meant to type Virtual Crew plus one (got distracted by the better half), but now that Geir has chimed in, saying it or editing it would be cheesy. If I hadn't had to hit send quickly, I'd have included the multiple action rule adding 2 to the difficulty of every additional action, without...
