Taken from TNE : "Sandcasters fires cannisters of magnetic ablative crystals. Each sandcaster contains a generator which creates an electromagnetic fiels which manipulates the location and shape of the cloud of crystals. These clouds are placed in the path of incoming beam weapons, and cause the...

They already had the right to bear arms, they wanted the right to arm bears.

If you have the budget to build such a huge civilian station (and probably several of them in a frontier sector), you should have the budget to build Navy fleets on the same scale. A 10 miles long battleship would look good on any recruitment poster.

Maybe play the Terran during the interstellar wars ?

Here is my take on the Gazelle. I use the old Trader & Gunboats from CT as a base : 300dt ship with the gig in an internal cradle (Docking space?) and a 100dt drop tank. TL-E 300dT Gazelle dT Mcr EP Hull Hull 300dT Partially Streamlined – 120 Hull Points -300 15 60...

Alignments in D&D (at least up to 3.5, I didn't play the last 2 editions) are more guideline than hard rules. Depending on your acts, you can change alignment to a more compatible one. And it isn't a reputation system per se, since your alignment is not writen on your face. You can fake another...

A tAS membership costs 1MCr too. I don't see why Life Insurance can't be chosen instead of the TAS membership. But how convenient will it be for a Traveller to use it ? You'll need to send back proof of death (and maybe body in a good state for the last, up to date, scan) to the life insurance...

My memory is a bit hazy, I'll need to do some reseach, but Terrans (during the Interstallar Wars) did some 'modifications' for their colonists. I vaguely remember a mention in GDP's second Alien Book (Solomani & Aslans). They did some uplifting (Dolphins, apes, bears & maybe Orca if I don't...

I feel like an old-timer. The only FGU I know is Fantasy Games Unlimited, a defunct game publisher...

High Guard doesn't have a limit, but all canon ships are at most 1 000 000 dT. The Tigress is 'only' 500 000dT. Characters in a Free Trader wll never interact with a Tigress in a way you need the full stats or deck plans (Unless we intend to play a navy captains/admirals campaign, like Honor...

If a Traveller : Star Wars were to happen, don't bother stating the big ships. Most are over the Traveller size range (An Imperial Star Destroyer is 1 mile long, thus around 4 000 000 dT) and Star Wars is about the main characters in a small ship being heroic. Anything bigger than a corvette...

Thanks Arkathan. I forgot to paste the link in my earlier post. Sorry about that. The thread is a real trove for ideas and pointers on how to make maps. I need to find time to make a few of my own ships.

You might find a few usable parts on this thread. One of the posts on the 1st page (april 19th, 2022) has a pair of links. One for a background with grid & another for symbols. There might be a few more further on the thread but I don't remember where. Many thanks to Arkathan for the ships...

You'll find the multiples on page 32 & page 29.

If I'm not mistaken, the damage multiple applies (I haven't seen any mention it doesn't). Thus : Barbette : 7Dx3 (average 52.5) Small Bay : 6Dx10 (average 210) Medium Bay : 8Dx20 (average 560) Large Bay : 10Dx100 (average 3500)
