    Questions for Mongoose

    Hello Moongoose! I have always found travellers a very interesting and detailed system. However, I find it difficult to manage everything during gameplay: keeping track of who is wearing what, who is encumbered, what is in the cargo, can I buy this weapon etc. So, I have created a computer...

    speculative trader supply list

    uhm, ok. So, in this case do they have the illegal goods in addition to the normal ones or not? Maybe an illegal supplier is just a better supplier

    speculative trader supply list

    I have the core rulebook 2022 and at 211 there is a spaceship. I think rules changes slightly. For example, in an example (in italic) there is written (for rolling the randomly deterrmined goods): "the referee can now generate an additional number of goods equal to the wolrd population code to...

    speculative trader supply list

    ehm... anybody? My question was mostly if the illegal broker offers also legal stuff or not

    speculative trader supply list

    Hello all! This time the question is on which supplies a broker/illegal broker has on a particular planet. For the sake of brevity I will not point out exactly the lines that are ambiguous to me and just proceed with a concrete example. If you may tell me the standard rolls in this example this...

    jumping times

    Hello all! I checked the jumping times in the core rulebook and I still have a few points that, for me, are ambiguous. I understand that all this part is just a gross approximation of celestial mechanics (I am an aerospace engineer IRL) and that is totally fine. However, there are a few key...

    passenger and freight table inconsistencies

    he was replying to me I think. In your calculation it is missing 0.1 tons of luggage for middle passage. Not a lot but enough to tip the balance in favor of freight at J6

    passenger and freight table inconsistencies

    notice that, at least in the 2022 update, quad occupancy does not exist. Basic passage does double occupancy. Thx for the table!

    career differences

    thx for the explanation Arkathan! Ok, I see, it is flavor. I guess it can be balanced with the fact that being an admin is boring so less people are inclined to take this career even if it is in some sense "the optimal choice". Ok, it makes sense

    career differences

    there is a merchant academy? Cool! I have only the core rulebook. - I thought academies could not be chained (my DM does not allow it I think and I understand why) - you get strong penalties for trying to enter the academy after term 1 (notice, not 1 career, term 1) - all the skills are just...

    passenger and freight table inconsistencies

    ah, thx. This makes them and the middle passengers even less appealing. In this case at J6 middle passengers go to 5284.8 and are less efficient than freight (I am referring to the Gavain's table)

    career differences

    - considering that with 10 SOC you qualify automatically I consider this the easiest career to enter. I do not even need to roll if I rolled well before. - otherwise, ok, I need to roll and is a little harder but in that case... ok, let's compare stuff that is more similar. Why noble, admin gets...

    passenger and freight table inconsistencies

    basic use bunk beds: 2T per person, half a stateroom

    passenger and freight table inconsistencies

    Thx Gavain! This was what I meant. I add also a few small things: - high passage consumes 1 ton per 10 passengers so it should be 4.1T of equivalent ton I think... actually the sentence is ambiguous: "it requires 1 stateroom, 1 ton of cargo and 1 steward level per 10 passengers." is it 1 ton per...

    career differences

    I do not see why my "age as a traveller" should matter but ok. I generated already 20+ characters for 2 campaigns. Ok, I understand now why scouts are harder: on a 6 roll on the benefit table you get the full ship instead of ship shares or 25% of another ship. I still do not get why the...
