High Guard ship design states that any system drawing power from the power plant can be hardened. Would it not make sense to be able to also harden the PP itself?

Received a message from DTRPG this morning, about HG2022 being updated today... Has anything changed other than the file size being lower?

I never really liked the mechanic of getting no benefit from gaining a lvl-0 skill you already had. This generally just leads to players picking skills that don't make sense for their backgrounds, just to maximize their PCs. It also never seemed fair to me, that someone who had spent their youth...

Anyone else spend weeks planning a campaign, only to realize most of it will need to be changed, as soon as the players finish their characters? Two new players to the game, one chooses Thief, the other Merchant. When the merchant got to Broker-4, I realized there was going to be a lot of...

I am designing an orbital station, that's sole purpose is to act as an orbital greenhouse/food production center. I'd planned on just filling it with biosphere tonnage, until I saw the costs in HG; "1 Power point and MCr.2/ton" I can understand this for a ship traveling the depths of space, were...

I've noticed in several threads, people worried about collisions in space, especially when exiting jump space. After a little amateurish math, the following should add some context: If for simplification, you consider the earths atmosphere to go all the way out to 100KM, you are looking at a...

While reading through the world descriptions for the Trojan Reach (in an Insomniac haze), I came across the description of the world 'Sink'. Perhaps it was the lack of sleep, or the things I used used to try to reverse said lack, but I laughed. Oh how I laughed. One of those deep, uncontrollable...

In High Guard, repulsor bays, used as tractor beams, can move an object they are locked onto, at 1G/rnd. Question is, what if the ship using is maneuvering at 9G. Does it break the lock, or is the object effectively moving with the targeting ship, but still able to be manipulated at 1G more...

I seem to recall my long lost original LBB#5 (Original High Guard), having a rule about combining multiple turrets into a single attack roll (i.e. battery fire). I don't think it's mentioned in Mongoose 2nd edition. I also can't recall if it worked like a single combined turret, or just gave a...

Having just gotten a reply, and fix for a Mongoose product I purchased through DTRPG, I just wanted to give a loud cheer to both their support people, and yours is particular. As I mentioned in my review on their site, I don't know of a single company that regularly fixes their products, and...

Perhaps it's just my tired eyes, but I can't seem to find anywhere were it mentions whether screens use hardpoints. I always assume they did, and designed accordingly, but i can only see hardpoint usage mentioned for point defense batteries.

A while back, I found an article in a Traveler supplement that detailed an Architect\Engineer career for Traveler. It had the same layout as the new careers in the Traveler Companion (i.e. same black background with blue tables), but for the life of me, I have no idea what supplement it was...

I was using High Guard (Mongoose 2nd Edition) to create a stealth small craft, and decided it HAD to have a concealed manoeuvre drive. I went with M-Dive 8, perfectly willing to settle for Thrust 4 performance, AND the tonnage\cost penalty. The issue I had came when figuring out the power usage...
