Good info, guys :) I figured I can probably crib the plans from the old MgT if I need them before High Guard.

So, in 2E the included design for the Jump 2 Far Trader seems to be just a tweaked Beowulf. Thoughts on that? It seems like They've thrown out a pretty classic ship design.

I kind of agree with the "high cost, low value" sentiment in regards to mongoose's version of battle dress. A protection value of 18, while formidable, seems far too low for the traditional notion of battle dress. I did a sample roll representing firing and entire clip from a gauss rifle...

So, I know it's been coming up on a year since I released the trailer to Far Trader, but work has been proceeding and I thought it would be appropriate to provide a quick update to interested parties. We're still working on the script and storyboards for the actual web series. The first series...

Very interesting points. I've always characterized gauss weapons as being more "computerized" and "electronic" in general than more conventional firearms. While you would take a conventional firearm to a weaponsmith of some sort for modification or customization, you might take a gauss weapon...

That's right. Look at the badass gauss rifle!

Getting into the realm of opinion here, but I had a similar thing happen in our group with mgt. My players all decided to game the system and play elderly characters in order to get the extra skills and benefit rolls, so we ended up with a group of characters in their late 50's/60's. They...

There's a lot of cool options out there for carbines and long guns, but the gauss pistol is something I really need to get right, and I don't feel like I'm quite there yet. I appreciate the kudos- I really do!

I tried to stick to airsoft guns that were cheap and look futuristic. My options were limited and I was moderately successful. The gauss pistol that's featured is a modified and painted nerf pistol. Because of cost, I'm really limited as to what I can reasonably use, but a neighbor down the...

Feel free to pass it around as much as you like! I consider that to be quite a compliment, Thanks! I'm hoping we can improve the costuming and props for the series, and I've got some specific questions to that effect I'll be putting forth on the forums fairly soon.

So, I've hinted a couple times at a fan film I'm working on. Here's a youtube link to a trailer we just finished: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7vDOm6iOcM We entered a prior version of this in a local competition- we didn't win, but there was lots of positive feedback. CG was done by the...

You might look into glass enameling- I'm not sure how expensive it is to get into, but it's what first comes to mind for the project you're describing.

Oooooo- nice

I can do better than that very soon- I've got production stills, props, and pre-viz sequences "in the can". We're entering a trailer in a local film competition next week. I want to make sure I've got product that doesn't suck before introducing it to the Traveller community.
