We try to specialize it a bit - hull damage = Mechanic check, drive damage = Eng (drive) check, Computer = Computer or Electronics check, etc. But we let the Chief Engineer do a task chain with another crew member if they don't have the relevant skill. In a recent game the PCs sent the steward...

It's in S&P 85, 500 tons distributed, J2/M2 with over 100 tons cargo and four grapples...

That's a great idea... a little more work than a one-on-one battle but likely a lot more fun. Check out the Khoghue Armed Junker from Merchants & Cruisers. IIRC it was in S&P too though I'm having trouble finding the issue. It's basically a spine with grapples to hold cargo containers and...

So very cool, thanks for the link!

http://stellarreaches.nwgamers.org/issues/ I don't remember which issues but the Stellar Reaches fanzine had quite a bit of info on the Bwaps, centered on the Empty Quarter sector, trailing-core of the capital of the Imperium. ISTR this is the area the Bwaps came from but I could be totally...

There's a 10 ton Maintenance Pod in High Guard, page 93 - crew of one in a cockpit, grappling arm, not much else - 1.5 meter deck height, pretty cramped!

IMTU I have a few things to handle this: Airlock: Standard airlock we know and love, allows 2 people abreast and 1dton containers. Opens directly to space/atmo. Cargo Lock: Standard airlock in a cargo hold, allow up to 10 dton vehicles, 5 people abreast, shipping containers up to 30 dtons...

Anyone know which font Mongoose is using for their basic subsector map? Been trying different sites like 'What's my Font' but no luck. Any help appreciated. cheers

Voted for 'Citizen' - recalls the CT title, but remains generic. I do like the suggestion of "A life less ordinary..." for the subtitle!

In the 3I canon a terrorist organization used a robot as a bomb at a diplomatic conference. Thus the Shudusham Concords, which explain why the 3I has a distrust of and laws against AI and automation. http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Shudusham_Concords

I have always made each additional target in a combat round suffer a cumulative DM-1 to hit, in addition to everything else. So if you "go faster" as mr3 pointed out above you suffer DM-1 to hit Thug 1, DM-2 to hit Thug 2 and DM-3 to hit Thug 3. I also apply this to auto fire if the additional...

CT Supplement 4 Citizens of the Imperium had pirates as a career choice for players, right next to Belters. First two career choices in the book.

I like too, +1. But perhaps a small refinement?... Gun Combat (personal/civilian): Covers most pistols, shotguns and hunting rifles. Gun Combat (military): Rifles, MGs, higher tech things. Gun Combat (assault): (military/police/megacorp) SMGs/PDWs, assault/combat shotguns, Low-G. Dunno, just...

Tried this for a while (similar to an idea mentioned up-thread) Effect of to hit roll : Location (vehicles) 0: graze of arm/leg (fender/cowling/bumper) +1: graze of torso (lights/sensors) +2: arm or leg (grill/engine - reduce speed 10%) +3: deep arm or leg (window/viewport - reduce agility by...

I really like the Spica books, I use them for key and mid-level NPCs and options like Chancer (gamblers and such) and Cosmonaut (spacer roustabouts and repairmen) can give PCs a term or two of background flavor that is unique and a couple skills they may not otherwise have gotten. Also the...
