    Soo.... Airlock freebies

    The latest interpretation I read was that the free airlocks fall into the +/- 10% for ship deck plans. We'll have to see if that changes in the upcoming HG review.

    Too few posts to put up links yet. He'll have to send a direct message to someone for an assist.

    Should maned small combat crafts be deleted from chartered space?

    Back in old versions before small craft weapons got nerfed, my players kept a few small fighters as CAP, with the ability to threaten enemies who didn't fire missiles. Basically, extra triple turrets (since any small craft could mount three fixed weapons).

    How to create Tougher Travellers?

    Remember when each die of damage had to be assigned specifically to one single stat?

    Vehicular combat rules

    I have an air raft on page 141. The critical hit table is on page 8-9. Are you looking at VH'26? Hull severity increased by +1 means that if you score a critical on the hull with a severity of one, it counts as a two. If there were previously no critical hits on hull, you'd be at two. If you...

    Vehicular combat rules

    The gunner and the tank commander are in enclosed vehicles, but parts of them are sticking out. Sailors on the deck: people manning deck guns or in the rigging of a sailing vessel, Anti-aircraft guns on a TL 4-6 frigate/destroyer/cruiser, etc. People wholly inside an enclosed vehicle are not...

    Vehicle Handbook Update 2026 - Now Here!

    First Aid, Medical Care, and Augmentations

    There is nothing to suggest that a critical failure on a first aid Medical check does damage. The minimum of 1 means there cannot be negatives IF a failed check does anything. But you do you. I doubt that clarification will be forthcoming.

    Traveller 5E

    People don't seem to be coming down on people who say, "I am not backing this." I am not backing, because my players enjoy MgT2, but do not like 5E... and an expensive buy in exceeding the scope of prepaid gift cards that may or may not be accepted. (A growing issues of late. I couldn't buy...

    First Aid, Medical Care, and Augmentations

    What I wrote is not a house rule. The one point minimum is on a success. If you roll an 8 (success) the effect is zero - thus the one point minimum. A failed check fails to do anything, but you may be able to try again UNTIL you get a success. Reread the rule. Were that not the case, then you...
