    Traveller Release Schedule 2026

    For the private and commercial models, an option could be built in obsolescence. After all, you can't sustain a vehicle industry, without the market having demand.

    Combat Arm from CSC

    Question would be, how the testing was carried out. Sort of hard to get a four hundred metre sprinter, to have his legs amputated, attach prosthetics after recovery, and see if there was a difference in performance.

    Radiation trait and radiation protection

    I don't recall later editions differentiating. Random nature of a meson hit would bypass that protection, though if it's in the engineering section, it doesn't matter, at the macro scale, if the rest of the crew gets radiated.

    How to make Traveller more popular with TTRPG players

    Since that's a deep concern of mine, it's half a kilogramme, for a decently strengthened lightish backpack. Degree of cloth rigidity tends to add weight. For Traveller, weight concerns for carryon will be mostly in terms of safety concerns, not fuel use, if they're placed in overhead bins.

    That's why I mentioned bladerunner. It's quite possible it's a movement enhancer, due to minus lower leg weight, plus steel springs.

    New Traveller Character and Ship Sheets

    The problem is with the tech bros, is, that they lived long enough to become the villains. However, with the Zuck, his motto from the outset was Do Evil. I do think the most admirable thing he did, was, when Musk challenged him to a ring fight, he told him to bring it on.

    Ship's Locker: Out of the Closet

    Advanced Combat Rifle - Bill of Materials It seems, once you get to technological level ten, twenty two long rifle is obsolescent. Except, maybe as a granny gun, or as a Hush Puppy. Ammunition is certainly cheaper, and you should train with what you intend to use. It could be configured...

    How much actual volume required per crewman in a military spaceship?

    So, we're waiting for the apple to drop on someone else.

    Radiation trait and radiation protection

    How does that work, internally? Radiation proof compartmentalization? Instead of preventing sinking, it contains the flood of radiation?

    How much actual volume required per crewman in a military spaceship?

    I don't recall when, probably parsing through my previous posts archive would give an indication, but when looking at the Traveller technological tree, I came to the realization it's pretty dependent on the understanding and application of gravity. Technological level eight with air/rafts and...
