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...

I think I might have run into another possible bug. I've recently generated a system with the seed 020201, which came out as a singleton M6V star with 5 terrestrials around it – 0.144 M⨀, 0.216 Diam⨀, 0.00278 L⨀. Its Baseline number is 4, and the Baseline Orbit 0.142. Then I noticed the System...

I do believe I know what you are referring to; you're thinking to the excellent article by MWM himself 'Nobility in the Third Imperium (Part 1)', which went up on Imperiallines 7. In it, he states the following: So that 50% figure is actually referring to Nobility specifically. When I last did...

SO The TravellerMap is T5 compliant, which means it presents information in that system's Extended UWP Format. T5 in its current form is from circa ~2015, predating the WBH. When Geir made the WBH, he sought to incorporate as much of the T5 Extended UWP into the WBH's generation procedures, but...

That would depend on the exact methodology behind the Gravitational Analysis Suite's functioning principles. If they're really detecting gravity waves, then you need to have something disturbing space-time in a way to produce said waves. Normal, every day objects (yes, I am counting comets as...

There is actually specialist software, I believe in High Guard 2022, which allows ships to pinpoint where a ship has jumped to – I'm currently on my mobile phone but if you give me 15 to 30 minutes I can track down the page for you. But generally, the answer 80% of the time is "no, not really"...

I believe what happened is that someone was put in charge of revising the submitted spacecraft designs in the editing room, but forgot about the minimum 10 ton size on Jump Drives – the original manuscript I sent for the Flea Trader had the correctly dimensioned Jump Drive. An understandable...

Yesn't – as introduced in Supplement 9: Fighting Ships (Pg.32), the Atlantic is a TL15 design, and it matches the description of its Mongoose incarnation: However, a posteriori, T20 has made it so that when first introduced around the Imperium's millenary, they were a T14 design, as presented...

“The K'kree are K'koming to K'kill you...!” And while perhaps not as 'funny' as the above nor directly Traveller-themed, “It was a whole thing™” became our table's motto.

I am glad to hear it! That being the case, may I suggest a slight alteration to the text as to better convey this? Presently the relevant section of the book seems to imply the depicted Battle Dress models are used across all of the Imperium's military branches: (Armies of the Fifth Frontier...

Circling back to the topic of the Battle Dress, as drawn by a friend: A human wouldn't fit inside the Battle Dress as drawn. If I may suggest, what if the robo-heads were swapped for a helmet more reminiscent of the Classic/Lobster/Teardrop design? That way the newfound chonk of the Battle...

I must admit I was a bit perplexed by it too, especially considering the Battle Dress is so iconic (Mongoose's version is the best one yet), and there's even a whole line of Minis showcasing the things made by the 2nd Dynasty guys. And, like... it's on the cover of 'The Fifth Frontier War'...
