I'm not buying this logic. First it assume that the price of a processed item, in this case a hull, is made up only of raw material. No production cost, no marketing cost, no profit and so on. Also I struggle with the part where making a metal "wraping" that will cover 10dT space should require...

My issue is that my player might end up controlling/owning a small space station, and I started out looking into how I could make that into a interesting challenge. Then I noticed that if I let them have a shipyard, and with my current understanding of the rules, I would basically give them a...

Should probably include some amount of basic, some amount of advanced and some amount spesialist? I was thinking that this figure was aimed at the much much larger shipyards. But looking at the speed cars are produced today maybe MCr 1 is not such a bad figure. However it has some issues with...

I'm interested in opinions and ideas for the economics of running a shipyard. Just as an example I have tried to make a minimum viable small craft shipyard using the HG 2e rules. I'm going to assumed that it is places in an astroid belt with access to raw materials. Mini shipyard station * 40...

Stigtrygg, could not find the plans on that link, but googling the name got me: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/travaramisdeckplans.pdf Thanks a lot. Found a few good deckplans in that pdf. Realised once I started looking at tham that I probably need something more like a 5k tonn ship for...

I'm looking for a decent deckplan for a passenger ship that is 1.000 ton or larger. Anyone have one or know where I can find one? Ideally it also has a drawing of the ship, but that is not a must

Tried it on my stationary Mac too, same problem. The stationary mac has a dualboot with windows. So on the exact same hardware it use 16% CPU on Windows and 99% on Mac.

On my Mac the tool use an insane amount of CPU just to show the main menu. This makes my laptop unbearable hot in a short time. I have discovered that if I use a program called cputhrottle I can limit the CPU usage. By limiting it to 60% it still runs at acceptable speed with out making my...

On March 14th they said the following in reply to almost the exact same question on ther FB page:

In he core book some of the smaller ships were placed two to a page, and then on the next page you had the same two ships deckplans. I would much have preferred to have stat block and deckplan on the same page. In total it would have consumed the same amount of pages. Also a bit confusing which...

Asked the about when the book is ready on Facebook and got the followin reply from Mongoose: A few small weeks - the rules are pretty much done (just a few tweaks) as are most of the ships, so we are now really just waiting on artwork.

I'm a new traveller player/referee. After getting the core rule book for 2nd ed I'm left with the distinct feeling that I got only half the system I need. Making, building and modifying a ship seems so essential to the game that I'm having trouble imagining a campaign where that is not possible...

Are any of the books from Mongoose Traveller 1st edition compatible with 2nd edition? If yes, which books are compatible?
