Sorry I didn't respond before now, but I didn't see the followup to my previous message. Yes, the artwork is mine for the ships and covers, although I did hire an artist to do the first black and white cover page. I'll share some other stuff if you'd like to see more. :) Basically, ASTRAL...

I have two of his paperback novels, and they're pretty well written and interesting. Funny though, I don't feel they're necessarily Traveller-esque as they seem more like the Sten Series by Allen Cole/Chris Bunch, or the Helmsman series than vanilla Traveller. Still, they'd definitely make an...

I wonder if an independent game designer could do something set in this universe as an ATU for Mongoose Traveller? I believe that most of Piper's stuff is in the public domain. Seems like a lot of people would want to pick this up, though, since CT drew a lot from Piper (especially Space...

Thanks for taking a look. I provided a scale so you can see how large (or small) these ships are supposed to be. I'd like to stat them up in Traveller and maybe even do some fleet books that would be kind of like Jane's Fighting Ships in the far future. Of course, I'd have to emphasize a lot...

Thanks for all of the replies. If I can figure out a baseline of comparison of a ship I know (say the Enterprise that was just posted) it allows me to see how big my designs are in comparison. In my ATU ships double in size at each class and use a letter code to connote their size (for...

With the idea of the Babylon 5 resource being released for Traveller I had a couple of questions: Babylon 5 ships are huge compared to canon Traveller ships (an Omega Destroyer is supposed to be just over 1700 meters length) so how exactly are ships from different settings going to be stat-ed...

Although I'm a fan of most of the books that have been mentioned, I've chosen three (somewhat obscure) titles that have not come up yet but that would be enjoyable for Traveller players (and that are primary inspirations for my own ASTRAL EMPIRES setting): 1. The Last Legionary series by...

I should also add that I plan to release a series of books detailing different periods in the ASTRAL EMPIRES timeline as well, with the hope that they would be cross-compatible with other settings and the OTU and thus be useful for GMs and gamers. Here are a couple of sample mock-up covers and...

Thank you all for your responses to this thread. I am a long time lurker on the Mongoose forums but this is my first post. I have been working for the past couple of years on a large-scale science fiction universe and game system that would allow players to integrate multiple levels of...
