Unless it is going to be a core mechanic in your game, I would suggest not overthinking it and do what you think fits.

I have not seen any. maybe look at the Gas Giant rules in the Companion for inspiration.

Cargo Cult.

Yeah, but does it hurt the story to use any one of those? I mean do you really need to know how a car engine works for a car chase? I agree that is just lazy...

In case you don't have VR. I mean that only makes sense to me to have manual controls to fall back on.

That would be cool, but I don't think with 50 years of history and almost 20 years of that Mongoose history to look back on, we will see that. I don't think it realistic to expect changes, and more than likely using the rule as it is stated in the module, won't hurt my next story. If it comes...

I don't see why you couldn't do that with a Neural Comm, or a Personal HUD from your bunk. Pretty sure it would be RAW already. Let me know if anyone disagrees.

I get where you are coming from. I just don't think it realistic to expect that an author of an adventure, that gets what they think is a great idea that they want, and think they need to make the adventure interesting, won't put it in and then we expect Mongoose to remove it because it's not...

Just want to answer your question. I don't care. I call continually adding options and random rule changes as Rule Bloat and as a general rule I am against it. You are not going to get rid of it because it helps sell product. I also have no problem starting a game with just the Core Rulebook...

I just don't want to buy it twice.

On the other hand, I can see how random rule changes would mess you in particular up. Thanks for your work.

I would probably like to wait until the POD Anniversary edition comes out. Even if it is a way away.

I am looking forward to both of these.

Traveller is not a Sim or a War Game the details don't matter as much to me. It is a system to tell cool stories and while as a player I do like to have rules and structure that makes sense. As long as the GM is consistent, I am satisfied. As a GM I look at the rules and ask myself if that...
