Having done the maths previously it’s kind of a relief that we don’t have people saying a fusion power plant can be turned into a bomb. I agree with the proton-proton fusion and gravetic compression to stellar densities idea. What I have ruled IMTU is that a power plant can be set to...

My players are now realising if they do get to fire on a ship a few times it will need millions of credits of repairs.

Had the party fight a T-Class Patrol Corvette and it was completely outclassed by the Harrier. Agree a Gazelle would be a big problem. But will check JTAS 18 out.

I moved that slightly and created a class history. YTUMV.

Yeah, IMTU the different vector and velocity of star systems (relative motion) is a thing and Jumps are normally done after matching the ship's vector and velocity to the destination system to produce the desired vector and velocity on arrival there. This means: Ships outbound to 100D normally...

To be honest, I only got that afterwards :) And even then, it's not stealthy and is far less suited to piracy. I might include one in the Sindallian base full of killer robots that I may have improvised as where Lady Yemar got infected... but I think I need to do Treasure Ship and deal with...

Thanks! That kind of makes sense. Is the original campaign super old and it was just ret-conned into the Imperial fringe? I have been aware of there being a few bits which seem not to quite fit, maybe that's it.

I have always been rather underwhelmed by the Harrier as a basis of a Kingdom building campaign, and my players had already acquired an uprated Fast Trader that was pretty handy. So I decided to play with the design, increasing it to 300dT, adding a fighter and a barracks for marines, etc.. I...

For me, Ataraxzy has it right. It is a fact and canon that ship retain vectors in Jump and that starts have velocities relative to each other. It's fine if YTU does do that, but those two factors have interesting implications. For example, a ship departing Whatchacallit for Thingamee would...
