Yeah, but as long as you have Iris valves to other parts of the ship, you can always vacc the air and transfer the cargo as long as the cargo won't be damaged by Vacuum.

Paramount is particularly Litigious regarding its IP (See Axanar). If they were infringing, they could easily have received a cease and desist.

Not having vacuum-rated containers is a reason for Cargo Airlocks. I removed them from a refit Marava. That may have been a mistake, although I think by RAW you can still hook an airlock up against a ship hatch.

The heat from your ship is almost impossible to hide in space. The rules say anything over 50,000 Kilometers could be a ship or junk. That's where sensor scans come in. I have been spit balling adding the range modifiers to the difficulty. I would be interested to hear if other folks are doing...

I had one that snuck on board the ship, but it looked kind of like a cross between a naked Mole rat and a cat with six legs and spit poison so they vented the ship to kill it.

No, just the Bandwidth. The Expert 2 and 3 allow more skills to be used at the same time. Not sure I agree with this, as it takes almost no time to swap out a skill. Just ask your GM for a ruling and follow it. As long as it is consistent, I would be good.

I would not expect them to keep the existing game engine but to port it to Traveller rules like 2300.

There is always a lot of controversy on why the Expert System can give a person the skill at Expert/Level -1 which can give an unskilled person a better skill than a skilled person. The Expert Intellect gets the skill at the same level, Expert -1. I always assume the Intellect System is doing...

It's currently a neat game system, though understand why Mongoose would want the license.

I won't argue any more on that. It's valid.

Fair point. Mostly pointing out that the concept of retroactive having certain equipment is part of the game so it is not a leap to do it with Connection Skills, and it can arguably make a better narrative.

There is a rule in place for the Ship Locker that basically does this.
