High SOC on it's own does not a noble make, the noble carers do. It's fairly easy to separate them so the SOC bonus is reputation or charm or social standing where as the title comes from terms in the career. You can have a charter whit high SOC who is well know (or infamous) while being...

Question for anyone who can help or Matt if not. Finally getting around to buying the PDF of the new Traveller core book, yes I know it's been out a while, I'm busy, it happens :) Anyway trying to find out what is going on, I paid the beta thing to get involved and have the credit with...

Hey, armed autonomous drones and big ones at that, whats the worst that could go wrong. What was that, sky what ? ? ? :lol:

Adventurer class commercial ships. Pilot duties. From take off to jump so maybe six or eight hours then one watch shift while in jump. After jump fly the ship to landing or docking. Given the mechanics of jump there is nothing the pilot can do to fly the ship for a week at a time and not when...

I always assume they are sub skills held by the crew. So one of the engineers has general maintenance skills and gets that duty which includes the foot long egg extruder, the chicken soup fabricator and the coffee peculator. Likewise one steward (or more) is the expert protein chef and spice...

All of those rules are folded into the Zero G skill in the same way that you don't decide which tolls to use , what procedures or spare parts are needed to fix combat damage to your drives with an Engineer role. Nothing to stop you making up your own rules but not really something needed in the...

Thank you for all your work.

Also you have a long tradition in cannon and the real world of ex military type ships being disarmed before they are passed over to the civilian market. Ex military transports or warships in the Traveller verse are supposed to be disarmed when sold and the few notable exceptions highlight this...

One thing about the new way power and drives work, Move 9 on a 100,000Dton ship :) Can it pull 9G while powering all weapons and screens, if so that's one BIIIIG power plant. Mongoose T2 is likely to have an increase in Move on many ships because of the disconnect between jump / power / move...

I looked at this and the first thing I did was put a minimum of 2,000Dtons on it so the player level ships can't use it. Then looking at the trade while it changes the higher end run by the mega corps it creates advantages for the player level ships. The ones than can arrive, refuel and jump...

No answer on this one, its a bit of a big difference and given that basic passage is now in the rules it's a HUGE difference in carrying passengers if it is actually four per stateroom. Powers that be, hello, anyone out there ? ? ?

If it can be fixed, no matter how many skill checks are required then it's a lot less than a 10% reduction in the cost of a ship. OK this fault, it's bad, they knocked 10% off the price of this here subby so that 8 megacreds, so to fix it we need six engineers, make a chain of skill checks and...

Basic Passage: Staterooms will be shared (typically four people to a stateroom in bunks) or, on some less scrupulous ships, areas in the cargo bay or engineering will be set aside for very basic accommodation and services (which may only extend to two meals a day and meagre washroom facilities)...

Re Msprange idea for Ions, like it, simple and easy to apply, do 30 Ion damage, lose 30 power. Re hardening. How about a fixed % tonnage and cost based on tons which protects your basic systems power. IE a 200Dton ship has a basic system power of 40, hardened it protects 40 power so if it has...

A hit by a Jumpbreaker Missile gives a -8 penalty to the jump check for the ship hit. So a single dinky little missile can do that to a 500,000Dton floating beach ball of death? Yes I know it has a lot of laser turrets for point defence but one single little warhead does that to any ship...
