    Family Pic: Free Far And Fat Trader

    That is actually a picture of a Jayhawk, which I believe was introduced during "Traveller: the New Era" which does have the exact same stats as a Marava. I myself prefer the Jayhawk look over the Marava looks, but with that spoiler it should be faster.

    A few points regarding 2e so far.

    I havent realized the prices of the PDF copies are so high, but on that note does Mongoose still do the Bit and Morter system where if you buy a hardcopy you get a pdf for free? I ask as I am still interested in this 2nd edition, but due to life finances are not what I wish they would be for...

    Computers.....

    I always chuckled at how Science Fiction games, books, and shows showed computers of the future being huge monsters of machines, when like in reality the size of the computer should be getting smaller. I do believe that a ships computer on traveller should only take up space for the actual...

    Silencers

    I also believe that it should be called a Suppressor in the book instead of a Silencer, we should be using accurate names for items. In description it can be called a Silencer as that is a common name for the item while it is not a correct term exactly. And please make a note soemwhere that they...

    Max skill ranks

    From what I have been reading here, I also believe it should be 2x (Int + Edu) for maximum skill levels. I also believe that the 0 level skills should not count as they are skill level 0. Another reason I believe it should be 2x (Int + Edu) is just the simple fact that task resolution is done...

    Question on characteristics rolling

    It is your game your running, it would make the PC's a little smarter, and or tougher but I don't think anything out of the world. As you are keeping it to results of 2 of those 3 D6 which max out at 12.

    Artificial Intelligence

    I love my new Jeep Wrangler but when reading things like this, I really miss my 1969 Impala. I just wish the folks that made cars thought a little more before adding things that could be dangerous if attacked by a Hacker types whether terrorist or just an arse.

    Artificial Intelligence

    On everyone being rich if everyone had 1 million, I bet a loaf of bread would eat up a lot of that. For society to function we have to have poor people to keep the cost of goods down, or a law that does that.

    Expanding Traveller's Audience

    Artwork for ships can be a very big boon to gather players, if stuff looks cool they will attempt to read what is there so they can figure out what the ship does. When I first started playing Traveller back in the school days in the very early 80's I loved the Empress Class merchant, ya it...

    Space Romance Movies

    But Shawn what is wrong with a little cheese in your science fiction or is it due to that female being in it, that is what makes me shudder lol.

    Davy Crockett - King of the wild frontier?

    I do not think any solder from North America would be dumb enough to actually fire any weapon named the Wile E. Coyote, even under direct orders to do so. Orders for suicide do not have to be followed, at least not in North America.

    My Really Big Starship

    At about 1 million dtons I do not think many folks would attempt to board her, the crew size requirements even if unarmed would wipeout a boarding party wearing battledress just by swarming. Now if it is derelict that is a different story as everyone will board it to try and claim salvage.

    What kind of ship uses a Launch as a Lifeboat?

    Do not forget that the one guy that has to remain awake then has food for a very long time, if he plays Soccer.

    Issue with forum time

    Have you not realized we are talking about a game that takes place in the future? It has be realized that the forums would be a little bit in the future at least doesn't it?

    Gold Pieces for Credits

    I dunno I think that with the way a great number of folks are posting why would anyone want a life size (or larger) statue made of the worthless stuff?
