Even by MJD standards this is surely crazily off-the-cuff, one-off and nonsensical. And it’s competing in a strong field in that race.

I’m glad that the High Guard book didn’t duplicate everything ship-related from the core book. I paid for it to get as much new stuff as they could squeeze in.

Orcas are used as a size example in the Robot Handbook, at size 8 (4 vehicle spaces) at the same size as Virushi (and as rhinos, incidentally). P.13.

Absolutely. The Class rating for star ports is a handy rule of thumb that would probably be true less often than it was false. The idea that a starport with sizeable shipyards can’t build starships because it doesn’t have enough commercial space for shopping in isn’t really supportable...

In Discord the T5 chat has had people mention several times that their T5 mechanics ("makers"?) are precisely for things like "I'd love a book that allows me to design and replicate technologies from any sci-fi setting". There's discussion about it being a game construction kit as much as a...

I suppose the T5 folks would say that that’s exactly what their game is designed to achieve. It’s also a cautionary tale for Mongoose and others as to just how niche-of-a-niche the market for that is, and how hard it is to make something so open-ended actually playable by normies.

What’s the source volume? There’s one author I tend to heavily discount. Edit: Wait that’s TGR by MJD. Funnily enough…

And I love it. Keep it coming!

Yeah this view could be taken with a long lens and it would look like the ship was immensely closer than was actually the case.

I’m less worried about their strength, and more baffled by why they would fly past at least six habitable worlds with populations of less than Code 8 in the rimward Drinaxian chain and the Borderland subsector before ploughing on a full subsector plus change into Imperium space before deciding...

It’s in the Reft sector book, page ten in my copy.

If you mean the one in front of a Far Trader with about eight crew members (the Aslan is only second from the right on that though, so maybe not) then this is pretty classic de gustibus non est disputandum territory. It seems perfectly fine for me and it’s a lot of decades since I was a child 🤣

No, this isn’t about the civil war. The Great Rift book claims that the Imperium is struggling to expel these Ihatei in 1105. It makes no sense on several levels.

There’s some wild stuff in the Great Rift box set, with the Imperium struggling to expel Ihatei from further Rimward than Ambossa in Vestus. Why these Ihatei ploughed past almost-empty, shirtsleeves environments like Sink and Fantasy, Inurin and Cordan and decided to claim land a dozen parsecs...

Why in the name of all that is holy are you wasting time arguing with Tytalan of all people?
