Sorry about that. :oops:

No, I wouldn't call it a dog either. Didn't expect all of this either. I just figured with the total population of the Darrians compared to the Sword Worlders next door, not to mention the Zhodani, that survivability would be the main concern. Point defense to stop incoming missiles, which goes...

From what I read, the task of this scout is to jump in, scan and then send the info to a specific point for the fleet to get when it jumps in. The ship needs to survive long enough to do this. Wouldn't point defence be an obvious choice for a ship with this mission? The ability to fend off...

I was looking forward to the Darrian book. Now I am having doubts. I always believed them an intelligent race, having fended of two larger enemies. Now I am beginning to wonder how they would have done this if they would let such obvious design flaws go by. You sure this isn't just a cover for a...

OK. So this is an untested/new ship then?? These flaws are put in on purpose then? Mike

Sheep on Drugs

I was looking at the scout ship. I don't understand. Why put missiles on a triple turret without any extra missiles on a scout ship? If this ship is scouting ahead for a fleet, wouldn't it make more sense to put some other energy weapon on it instead of a three shot weapon? At least pulse lasers...

Out of curiosity for one who has never been a jeweler, how much geology and metallurgy skills would a good Jeweler posses? In Traveller terms if you could. To be a really fine artistic Jeweler. Thank you in advance, Mike

Would you classify Jeweler as a trade skill or an art skill? It could really fall into either, though I am leaning towards art since creating fine jewelry really is an art. Although a jeweler is a tradesman. Which do you think??

Ah. Thank you. I have hard enough of a time knowing American, no way I am going to know English. :-) I thought that implied that the only difference between the two was the money involved.

Yeah, I seem to have a hard time getting what I mean across in type. Sorry about that.

Just a thought, but you could use the computers example in the equipment section of the core book as a base line.

Question about the Dilettante book, or errata if other want to add to this. Page 15, Event 16. Is that supposed to say stranger, or is a stringer some kind of slang word I am unfamiliar with? I have only got to page 16, figured I should post this before I forgot. May have more questions later...

Core book has the Personal Drone. I think someone may have a use for it, but it seems to me that it would be of more use to a high level executive more than anyone else. As far a merchants go anyway. All the drones that could be really useful for most merchants cost way too much. Mike

Seems to me that the second biggest question is "what item are you refering too"? The biggest question would be "What does your GM say"? Just my opinion though.
