100D - no worries... it happens. I don't think the Imperials would care overmuch - the locals might though... and they have their own navies (100D and under)... if they don't care, why should the imperials? As for undercutting, it says that the processed fuel is actually subsidised at 500 per...

Really? Imperial Law and System Law is shared between 10D and 100D. Beyond 100D, Imperial Law is "absolute" (Sector Fleet, p12). If you wanted to sell fuel, you'd need to be on good terms with the locals and inside the 10D mark and not on SPA territory (the SPA being an Imperial agency). You'd...

Wow, it's been a while since I last saw this thread... Rust, if you did it that way, they would need to be landed long enough for the fuel processors to work, meaning they'd be grounded for days, usually. Mostly people assume that the water's pumped into the tanks and then processed there. Of...

Sector Fleet has this to say on the matter, if it helps... I'd interpret that to read: "All Navy ships should be J4, but a few ships will be either better (most likely recon or anti-piracy vessels) or slower (most likely the very largest, most likely non-combat ships)." I find the 6G a little...

Not guilty - we just got "page xx" in our copies, since ours didn't have the pretty pics (nice work guys!) and wasn't formatted (just tables and text). As for the sheet, got two sheets I'll mail to Matt today - one worksheet and one full-page record sheet. all I gotta do is find them...

I only just saw this thread... my names on the credits too!! :) I found quite a few errors and so on, thanks to Openoffice... so many in the end that I was wondering if I'd get in the credits or if Matt would just want rid of me... :lol: I still beat myself up over those lost designs and not...

Or insanity... your call. :P Matt: OK m8 - I feel really bad about that - with the hard drive going down and then the influx of work, I completely forgot about it.

Well, to be honest, if they did a "Deluxe Player's Rulebook" with all the background, career information, equipment and rules from the career books to date, I think it would do very well... it wouldn't need to have all the information, indeed that would be unwise, since people wouldn't buy the...

Yep, the longest I've had to wait for a reply from Matt was a few days, but I've had near-instant replies up to 11pm - even when I suspect he was ready to rip my throat out because I'd found yet another potential problem with the vehicle creation rules... :D Oh and Matt: I just realised, I...

That's where drop tanks and collapsable cargo-bay fuel tanks come in... allowing a jump-4 capable ship to do multiple jumps - although it's a little risky at lower TLs and you need to allow for the extra time in jump for food and other provisions, it is possible. Navies can also use tanker...

Thile: I think that they have some duplicates in there, under different headings too, as I recall. I think it just needs a good seeing to, with maybe the the more outrageous weaponry pushed to the back of the book where you don't need to go through it to get to the more used stuff, but also...

Well, shipping volume is already in the new rules, but as m3 - it would be up to you to decide on the exact volume... after all, 2 different designs using the same volume hull could be two totally different sets of dimensions... one could be low, but wide, while the other taller and longer, but...

I would echo calls for High Guard - the later career books are excellent - HG lacks that polish that came later and could really do with another going over. If nothing else, a rewording and a complete re-presenting of the rules for ship combat and construction rather than constant referring...

Not necessarily the case over here - 1/3000 seems more common, judging by the number of suppliers that don't live in the US... and so need to be imported. Both Davco and Navco, the two leading UK suppliers are 1/3000. Speaking personally, I don't mind either way - and quite honestly, at least...

How, I wonder, does that look if you included India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore and Hong Kong's wealth and production and also Canada's production, in the event they could be persuaded to fight against such a close neighbour - or at least support the allies against the US...
