The wording here suggests that the whole ship is protected externally and additional protections are placed throughout the ship.

My 2p worth: Mesons don't interact with matter until they decay at which point the radiation occurs. This, in my view is why they bypass standard radiation protection. I have noticed in HG2022 p14, Radiation shielding as an option does work against meson weapons. Though, the box on The...

I would say that three canisters are used, which would provide greatrer density of sand thus the extra protection. I am happy about having 20 sand canisters in a mixed use turret e.g. laser + sandcaster. What would you say about mixed missile and sandcaster turrets? I would be inclined to...

Shield bash is explicitly stated as using Melee (bludgeon) skill.

I have no problem with this, because, if you have a shield you will be practicing with your blade and shield together so that you can operate at full capability. I would perhaps exclude Melee (unarmed) and Melee (natural) from being usable with a shield.

CSC pg 55 Allows the use of the combat arm as a shield, and the way I read the CRB is that when parrying you interpose the shield and reduce their ability to hit you. However, as a special benefit for the combat arm you get the +2/+4/+6 protection in addition to the parry effect. The...

Looks great, though there is no Art skill anywhere. I think that at least for the designer specialist skills I would replace Mechanic for Art.

I have allowed my players use ship shares for any large ticket items (>1MCr). With the proviso that they don't get any change.

I must admit that I am probably going to use jump drive improvements as rewards for my players. They already have the Harrier so upgrading it's engines makes more sense than giving them a very small and noticable ship, well at least once it lands!

No, the wording in CRB says: Nothing about the level of the Expert package. The CSC 2023 is more confusing as the description doesn't make sense. I think that a chunk is missing. It can simultaneously run any Expert package and a number of Expert packages equal to the Bandwidth. remaining...

Or that all cargoes are sold by the displacement ton to comply with the quirks of the space shipping business.

Yes, it is live and working well :)

Hey, no worries. I know that releasing software can have unexpected effects. If I had a pound for every bug free release I have made, I might have enough for an ice cream!! I and the groups that I play with are just so happy that you are willing to create and more importantly maintain these...

Just noticed a bug in Roll20. When using skills the Stat DM is no longer included in the roll. This seems to be true for existing characters and newly created characters.

I like that. More variable but multiplied by the members of the team. Also has the advantage that all the travellers stay with the same level of RI.
