Eggs, tomatoes and wilted cabbage flying in from all directions. Your kingdom for a parasol.

No. You rate the bay for 5 tons. That is the size vehicle/craft that can be accommodated. Then add 10% to the rating for how much room it takes up. Edit: Sorry, your first one, with the bay TAKING UP 5 dtons, yeah, the 9 space vehicle is the max

The vehicle is 5dtons. Your bay is rated for 5 dtons, making it take up 5.5 dtons. You can treat the vehicle as cargo and shoehorn it into 5 tons of cargo space, but now you need an hour or more to unpack it. With a bay, you just hop in open the door and drive out.

Can do does not equate to should do.

As a cargo space, even the airlock, it will have the TL9-15+ equivalent of tiedown fittings. When I was on a carrier navy usage was rounded indents at regular intervals with crossed metal bars on top that you can hook chains to, whether securing pallets or utility boats or planes for rough weather..

JTAS 6 came out before the previous edition of vehicles, so there is no telling what was used to make the scout air/raft.

There is a field for discounts (W3). I would not expect the discount to be THAT big. Without specs I can't go deeper. The core book air raft comes in on target though, and it was made under the previous system.

Considering that the TL8 light laser cannon is just slightly weaker than the gatling laser, but is the gatling is eight times the size, I am not sure getting it down to a quarter of its current size would be feasible, certainly not while increasing its rate of fire. Doubling the damage on a TL11...

Come to think of it, I had problems with the concat() as well. Glad you got it working.

Geir loves xlookup. I had to upgrade (Office 2024) to fully participate in the playtest. Fortunately, I got it on sale. For the first couple of iterations, I used my 2016 version, converting the sheet to work on my version... but as the rules were in flux, the revisions came in faster than I...

Page 25, the insert shows that half of the vehicle is structure, power and locomotion. The space rating is what you can use. Add the other half in for shipping. Four spaces is a dton.

When you create a 20 space vehicle, you are defining the useable volume. The rest of the vehicle also takes up 20 spaces. The total vehicle is thus 40 spaces for shipping purposes, which equates to ten Dtons. Your 5 Dton bay will accommodate a ten space vehicle.

Why not just swap out missiles? You can use lots of different kinds of missiles in the standard launcher.

Stat out the new/refurbished station first. Use Cluster Truck to assign levels of busted or jankiness to each system. A few ways to go from there:. - Roll dice for the parts needed to get each system up and running. Then: -Obtain those parts and install; -Convert parts to credits and...

The formula Geir gave uses stellar mass, not stellar volume. At those distances, the body acts like a point source. Light, other radiation and gravity vary with the square root of distance. The use of 100D is just an approximation. The gravity well is generated by mass. Also, the formula was...
