I think I would prefer a species breakdown like Medic (Own Species) and Medic (Xeno). I realise it is not very realistic to lump Vargr and Hiver together in the one skill but I find too many cascades to be frustrating. If you wanted to achieve the same thing you could say that Medic (Xeno)...

In a lot of cases the main way in which a robot exceeds human ability is the way you can put them in a situation where they will be destroyed with no objections from the robot and no questions from the authorities afterwards. The main attribute of robots you send in to defuse bombs or clean up...

There was a video that showed star sizes a few years ago. I found the creator has an updated version which includes the star under discussion here. The music on the old version is better though. :) https://youtu.be/GoW8Tf7hTGA

There was a thread about cargo a while back and I posted some possible cargo container configurations here:- http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=119369&p=910366#p910366 I agree that when you are dealing with Free/Far Traders you are talking about not always optimal cargo...

With regard to tanks, I suspect the K'kree would make very extensive use of drones. They would have to use them as a proxy in situations where a human would just go in themselves. Drone tanks on the battlefield, crawlers to go in to ducts in their starship, the grav tech equivalent of...

Thanks for clarifying this doesn't seem to be much of an issue for MgT. I had always assumed the reason PCs (crew basically) preferred not to share was privacy and was going to have a look in the rules to see what I missed. This is what I think the reference to captains 'insisting' on it...

I don't know. When you buy a new Ford does the dealer hit you with costs for the engine management software? If you buy a ship then I think software which is essential to running the ship should be included in the price. If you buy a component then there's a case to be made both ways. I...

I consider the stat component of a skill check to be the character's raw talent and the skill part to be their training. Someone with Medic 1 and an EDU DM+3 could be thought of as a person who came out of med school a far better doctor than the average student. They worked long hours, they...

I don't really see this as a major issue. I always considered these example time frames, certainly the ones for repairs, to be nothing more than guidelines. I think there is a huge variation in how much effort is required to fix a non-functional drive. If they all said exactly the same thing...

Contrary to a previous poster I think the hull profile is far more important than the armour rating. I don't think the amount of heavy armour designed to prevent damage inflicted by weapons necessarily relates to the amount of pressure the hull can take. However I think we can assume that am...

I've been looking for a logo I can add to handouts and any character sheet I might create for my MgT2 conversion. I couldn't find one I really like when I searched for images online but I did like the one in the Judges Handbook which was in an picture at a funny angle, small and blurry. I...

I agree with IegoZhodani that this is basically up to you. My feeling would be that I'd prefer to stop people from optimising their psionic powers and make them stick with what they got during character generation. The ones you get originally are the ones you have a natural talent for and those...

I posted a reply to this a few days ago but it seems to have been eaten. Thanks AnotherDilbert, that is exactly what I wanted. I didn't read the rules well enough so sorry for the foolish question. I don't usually use psionics but I was generating characters for Judge Dredd where those rules...

I'm a little confused by the way a player gains psionic talents, particularly in relation to the learning roll. This is what is says on p196 as the start of the Psionics chapyer. Not taking anything else in to consideration that implies to me that the player goes through all the talents in...

The fact that this would not be good use of the space inside the carrier was the first thing that occurred to me too, however here are a few things that could counter that. First of all each fighter could be turned 90 degrees relative to the next one in line. This would allow them to fit...
