It only takes up room in a cargo bay, and throws a Fuel tab error if you don't have room for it. The bay deducts the ship's space. Cargo tab shows you the empty volume correctly if you change the toggle to empty. It cannot exist without a bay, unlike the supplies that are not bay dependent.

That WAS working before, and I didn't touch it. (until now to fix it. Starting to suspect the newer version of Office as being not as friendly to moving things around as my old one. It lopped off everything below the sensor stuff I added. New Version: 2025.10.05a 9b tonnage issue fixed.

New Version: 2025.10.05 Sorry for the delays in updating. I broke the sheet, got frustrated trying to find WHAT I broke, then Life got in the way, so I took a vacation from the sheet. Consequently, I lost track of some of the requests not in this thread... and maybe some IN this thread. Also...

Much simpler to just assume TL12 Vinmo. Credit transactions just work.

That was fixed before, not sure how it crept back in.

HG'22 pg 40, sidebar covers mounting vehicular weapons on a ship or craft. A small turret holds up to 1 ton of weapons (4 spaces) That means the standoff decoy system is a fixed mount only, and you would need one (or more) for each side. If the ship has a deck plan, you can easily determine...

Rim Expeditions starting on pg 129

Input fields should have a border, fill, font characteristic or underline to make it easier to find. Had to poke around on the page the first go to find where to change from the default of 1000 tons for size

Modifications to drives, etc.? Jump fuel is not multiplying by parsecs. So it happily makes illegal ships. Cannot install holographic controls on the bridge. OK, found them, see next. Having to go to two places for the same system is annoying/confusing. Especially when optional...

If I do, I'll wait for the new book.

Yes, but buckle up. Free fall does not preclude sudden winds hear that might overcome your gravitic's ability to compensate.

As Sig said, weightless. The gravitation pull of Earth at the space station's orbit is .75 g. The crew doesn't notice that.

Consider our current solar robot: the Parker Solar Probe. No M-Drive, but it dives through the solar atmosphere. Get sufficient velocity while plotting a gravitationally advantageous course and you will come out the other side. Whether or not important pieces fall off in the process depends on...

I can see one of my players reprogramming a batch to pretend to want to be eaten... only to scream horribly upon being chomped. And of course they must be filled with an appropriate cream filling that goes everywhere.

One thing you have in sea navies that you might not see in space is the need to replace the sacrificial anodes. Big zinc disks that screw on to the hull to prevent Chlorine pitting. The guys used to "borrow" them from the supply lockers, stick a pipe threw the center hole and use them in a...
