Oh lord, I'm still working my way through Act 2... I'll try to pick up pace!

This is truly fantastic. I've long thought of making an application such as this myself but it was always bumped down my priority list. The one "core" feature I feel is missing from it is some sort of date-setter; being able to select the current date on the map, be that by counting up days...

I don't have any charts handy, but I do happen to have a draft manuscript explaining the various different aspects of the UWP, including the economic section, which might be helpful to you: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_7KVNwem_IKsn2Bu1gXc5IvXfvHIWpvREY-ZX6eZVFg/edit?usp=sharing

Righto! I've finished reading Act 1 back-to-back, so here's my notes on it. As per usual, entries with [?] appended are ones I'm not sure if there's actually been a mistake. Page 4, 8th Paragraph: "(...) and then makes a rough transition into another comms call as he continues to stroll down...

The singular exception, as far as I am aware, was the recent update to The Great Rift box set, as the text in the two versions is exactly the same, the books having simply had a facelift. And considering how different the new VHB is from the old one...

Not to put the cart before the horse, but could you tell us what the price point of this month's two releases (Vehicle Handbook Update 2026 and The Core Expeditions) will be? I'm doing my monthly budgeting and it'd be nice to know beforehand. After all, Traveller books are recurring expenses...

I'm a bit late to the party, but I've just finished reading the Singularity Sourcebook and have come here to report little typos and mistakes I've found while doing so. It's possible (likely, even) that many if not all of these have been pointed out before; if they have, I apologise. As per...

A further note, this time an actual mistake I think: In the above table, the observations are both using the same icon. I'd suggest either changing the first one to a '*', or changing the second one (the one listing the Inter-species orders) to a '‡'.

I would like to point out the following passage of the SOM (Page 76): As for the whole "they're free" thing, yes, because SOM was written after Highguard 2022 and is technically a system-agnostic book, so it was supposed to work with both MgT2 and T5 alike. It tries to unify all of the...

Not necessarily a mistake, but on Page 4 of Knightly Orders, second paragraph: (Emphasis mine) Is that term actually correct? I've never ran into it before in a Traveller context. That aside, I do think the term might be a trademark held by Disney, so... better tread carefully. 😬

Tossing my own into this; I made this little robot guy back in 2022. It was my attempt to make a cheaper, more accessible version of the Astro-Mech Droid featured on page 146 of the Robot Handbook, which costs a slightly egregious MCr1. My version comes in at a fairly reasonable Cr50000, which...

Personally, I don't think the DM for size should be a factor beyond Dogfighting range. The reasons are two-fold: firstly, because at space fight ranges the difference in angular size between a 1000 dTon and 6000 dTon ship would be negligible. Sure, a Tigress is definitely bigger than a Type-S...

I would like to add a couple of observations to this (very!) interesting discussion; You're operating under a misconception on how the Screens work in HG22. They haven't been boosted, quite the contrary in fact. This is a point @MongooseChris has said the rules should be better clarified upon...

Aw man... I hate to be giving you work, but I think I might've found another bug, and this one will probably not be a trivial fix... Using system seed 020201 as an example, the innermost planet has Orbit#0.05, and is listed as being in the HZ. This shouldn't, however, be the case. Page 43 of...

I don't think that "compactedness" is an inherent problem, though. It's a phenomenon that would mostly be confined to low-mass, low-luminosity stars like late M-Type Red Dwarfs, which is actually fairly realistic. Consider; the TRAPPIST-1 system, for instance, has its planets all orbiting within...
