    Careers in MgT 2e

    Just remembered this one from a while ago, submitted by @agentwigggles : RURALITE (Mongoose Publishing Forum) https://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/threads/lack-of-affinity-for-players-when-creating-a-farmer-traveller.124966/post-982269

    What is an "average commercial shipyard"?

    In statistics, "average" could refer to the mode, mean or median from a set or a table of numbers. mode is the number that occurs the most frequent in the data set. So where your quote starts by saying "On average, ...", I would interpret that as meaning "On the most frequent occurrences...

    Too many moving parts

    I think because the referee is not obliged to tell the players the difficulty level, but the players can know their own DMs. The other reason is that the very presence of a known or unknown difficulty level sets an objective, which may be partially understood or completely understood at the...

    Too many moving parts

    Looks like there are only three criteria to remember. Looks good to me. Although, true, quantitively they are the same, there can be local inconsistencies of application. I like to be distinct to help create atmosphere and let the players know where their relative merits and drawbacks in...

    If you have them on DriveThru, you can select the Library tab, then filter by "Latest Updated." Hope that helps.

    What type of ships are GMs/PCs looking for?

    Okay I have a starship in mind for you. See what you think about this. I want to know what the build and cost would be for a VIP carrier that can outmanoeuvre in any difficult situation, to transport and protect the onboard VIP and his entourage (max 15 persons total). The client for this...

    Central Supply Catalogue 2023 vs 2016?

    Yes, correct. CSC23 adds mainframe, mid-sized, portable and specialised computers to the collection. While the item descriptors are different, the 'characteristic' trade-off of TL vs Processing Power vs Cost remain the prevalent golden rule. Yes, and that too. Pg 72 has a two/three paragraph...

    Which Skill Check to to use for Sense Motive / Insight?

    Depends also upon context. Streetwise is especially intended for urban environments. Investigate (INT) evidence for plausible truths. Interviewing the other individual with science(psychology) (INT), and getting to know their motives. A psion might succeed with Read Surface Thoughts (Telepathy)...

    Hiver Control Center

    While I like the aesthetics of your numbers, I can't help wonder where the published numbers are from? For instance, humans evolved the decimal number system out of virtue that humans have 10 digits (fingers). Computers use the base two, or binary, number system out of virtue that logic is...

    Automation in Charted Space

    IRL, there are different levels of automation. It can be that one type of automation is less efficient/more costly than other types of automation. TC RAW, starship automation is designed primarily for humans. AoCS2 RAW is automations designed specifically to assist hiver mentality. On that...

    High Guard: Preparing a Planetoid or Buffered Planetoid Hull

    Depends on the ratio of nickel to other alloys present in the mix. Also depend on desired properties of the metal, as Cooling down time affects the mechanical properties of the microstructure. And finally, Slow cooling at recrystallisation temperature helps separate the metal from impurities...

    High Guard: Preparing a Planetoid or Buffered Planetoid Hull

    Given the same inside tonnage, can the outside of two Planetoid or Buffered Planetoid hulls be identical? Personally, I'd imagine that Planetoids are rough shaped asteroids, with lots of irregular surfaces. If that were true, then no two Planetoid ships would look alike, even if they followed...

    Truther Travellers

    I had that question too. After a quick re-read I'd gleam that the point is that 'The Message' is the focus of the Career Path and the Interaction DM of the Truther only applies to a Persuasion check when speaking about their 'Message.' You could say why does it require a whole career in any...
