Im hearing a lot of talk about art quality and color in a hypothetical deluxe edition. One should remember that the cost of printing in color is not the only increase in cost for these books. Art costs money, lots of money. As an artist myself, I charge a lot more for full color illustrations...

Outstanding News! Thanks. I will keep my eye out!

I don't mean to bash Mongoose or Traveller in any way whatsoever. I think the game offers exactly what I was looking for for the space epic story I want to tell. The mechanics for the most part are useful and solid. But yes, in the three books I have so far I can thoroughly say I agree with your...

Right but the example they give is a 100 nuke barrage which is 200d6 damage and the numbers don't seem to mean anything. At least it seems Im not alone in being lost with this book.

Sort of on the same subject, is there a way on these forums to upload files for peer evaluation? So far I've built a 500 ton, a 100,000 ton and a 20 ton space craft. I can export my pages as PDF so they are easily viewable. Is there some way to upload them to this forum or does anyone have...

Hey that sounds like a great idea. Better get faster and more accurate at ship building before I throw my hat in the ring though.

Bump! And a question to add dealing with Barrages. On page 75 is the barrage damage table. I get the Barrage attack roll, and the %Barrage damage column, however what's with the 5-Dice, 10-Dice, 12-Dice, 20-Dice, 50-Dice columns? What do those even mean? They are not mentioned in the rules...

Um, what's a TCS style tournament? *hangs head in bashful absentmindedness*

Oh man, that's what I feel like doing too. I plan on fewer big interstellar shoot-em-up encounters and more inter-personal/exploration type adventures. Thanks again for your help.

Rust to the rescue again! Thanks, man. I do have a question about your answer however...On page 127 of High Guard the light carrier is listed as Close Structure and the illustration/decplans are anything but sphere-like. This seems to be another mystery that may not be solved. How bout...

Jumping into High Guard with both feet this weekend I attempted my first Capital Ship design. I had dozens of questions at the time and much head pounding as the math just didn't seem to be clearly explained to me (again readers of my previous posts will note Math is not my strength) and...

Rust, my tastes seem to parallel yours when it comes to fiction. I mean, if I'm reading sci-fi I sure as heck don't want anthropomorphic animals running around. And I tend to lean that way with role playing games too. Lately however I found too much attention to detail completely blasts past my...

Hehe I don't play a role playing game for science and reality anyway. Just enough mumbo jumbo and tech speak to make me feel some verisimilitude and I'm good!

While we are on the subject of random world builders is there a random alien species builder in any of the books?

Sounds like HAL 9000
