With adequate batteries to power the jump drive, sure. Remember that it outputs enough power for basic power and M-1. Using no M-drive, you can bank the excess power in batteries and use them to power the J-drive. Heck, with enough batteries, you could power the M-drive! Accelerate, coast while...

Hopefully that means HG and the VH will be getting updating soon, too!

If you've ever seen Stargate all engagements with fightercraft are close range or closer, so that's not that big of a deal. Right, but even with spacecraft-scale fighters, they are fragile until in close range. And I forgot that at such close range, the dogfighting rules say to make opposed...

I couldn't find anything from either the CRB or VH (2e) that said one way or the other. I remember hearing that prior editions had a stance, but couldn't remember if it was yes or no. As for "Adding a gravitic drive is creating a spacecraft," I'm playing around with the VH rules to see if I can...

Just as the title asks: are grav vehicles restricted to atmospheric operation? If so, can you add a gravitic drive from High Guard to let them fly in space, too?

Pretty much this. The license agreement means you grant the rights to your work to Mongoose/DTRPG/TAS. Anything published under the TAS is TAS-open source, meaning anyone who publishes under the TAS can use your work. So if you publish under the TAS, it's no longer your work. Which sucks.

That is indeed my point. HG2e doesn't say you can't add it afterwards. That, to me, says you can.

Thankfully, in this case, the rules don't say no. No need to make houserules when the rules presented already allow for it.

I cannot find anything in HG2e that says you can't do it. Therefore, I'd say you can. From my point of view, you should be able to reinforce the hull plating by taking up precious cargo space, and adding a stealth coating shouldn't be that hard. Of course, as GM I'd charge extra for labour...

As it stands, the only skills in the game are in the core book. It's possible that new books will have new skills, but that's in the future and we can only guess at this point. No and yes. If you have Electronics (Computer) 1, you don't also have Electronics 0. However, having a skill level of...

I believe R is Radioactives.

That's because most pirates are not PC!

This is that varient.

Glad to see that my estimation was a solid one!

Not that we've seen on-screen. It's mainly an escort/cargo hauler. My original design was 400dT, but I dropped it down because it's a modified civilian transport, not much bigger than a PC starting ship.
