There's this collection of Free Trader Variants.

Here's my version of a walker from one of Mongoose's earlier games, Armageddon: 2089. In building this, I altered the speed increase slightly. It takes up less space, but requires two minor actions when moving fast. This is because the Mek has to "run", which is harder than just stepping on the...

Wouldn't it go straight from their size in dTons?

Nice job! I see your skills improving every time you post something. One (possible) quibble: Does a person fit on that chair and still under the roof in that last one? Maybe it's just the angle, but the chair looks too big or the vehicle too small to me. @Jak: https://www.blender.org/

Also: So the stats are really more guidelines then actual rules...

I was thinking these would mostly be along the lines of "National Guard" sort of thing, where a system might want an immediately or almost immediately available defense force (or maybe an 'attack the neighbors' force, to 'blow off steam') using only local resources. Frontier areas, like the...

To follow up the Frontier Variants booklet, I'm working on a Naval Reserve, where a star system that wants some naval ships for cheap takes all the local Free/Far Traders and makes the majority of the ship modular, and then provides modules when it needs extra naval power. They also may use...

Free Trader Variants: The Frontier presents the Rift Trader, the Skip Tracer, and the Salvager, three heavily modified Free Traders useful in frontier areas. The Rift Trader's defining feature is its 5 parsec jump range, which allows it to cross otherwise impassable rifts devoid of stars or...

Looks good!

Well, it's not official or anything, and it's just a physical map (no political boundaries or cities or anything), but here's a map matching Jewell's physical parameters. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5wxyc6txqdex0y/JewellIco.jpg?dl=1 If this'll work for you, I could upload a larger one, if you need.

Nice!

Looks good. Have you played around with compositing at all?

Yeah, it seems like the biggest limiting factor at that point would be spare parts for your jump drive. Which might mean that the main routes would either all have higher TL worlds, or that the starports would carry higher TL parts on the main routes.

That, and/or stat it up, at least. :)

Well, and with that much of the planet in shadow and being that far away, you probably would be able to see some stars. The reason you can't in those other orbital shots (I would think) is the same reason you can't see any stars if you take a picture with a streetlight or the full moon in the shot.
