I suspect some would not be as interested in repurchasing a line of Aliens books that is largely just the content of the 1e books with new layout and art, the conversions to 2e done, and a few other tweaks, especially not at the expense of getting entirely new material. Especially if a quarter...

I'm curious how others handle the issue of prize ships. Per pg. 24 of PoD 1: "Selling a stolen ship is virtually impossible – not only is a stolen ship a ‘hot’ property, thanks to IFF beacons and serial numbers woven into the hull’s molecular structure,..." This implies that it is impossible to...

I guess that depends on how close the PCs react to being watched closely and followed after being released is to how they would react to being on the run from the law. I suppose if the players are just going to say, we don't want any more trouble and therefore quit pursuing the main plot, it...

If everything you claim is true, I'd just be handing out the forum link and telling people to go ask for themselves rather than allowing myself to ask such a ridiculous question on their behalf yet again. OTOH, at this point they'd probably just be mistaken for you using a different account as a...

If I understand correctly, the ruleset author started this as a personal project to learn how to create a ruleset. Along the way, he got tapped to create the WOIN ruleset, which took precedence. Ultimately, he decided to finish the 1st ed ruleset rather than abandon it to do 2nd ed, but I...

I want to run H&D as a prelude to Pirates of Drinax, so am thinking of moving it to Exocet in Tobia subsector. It's volcanic, close to the Imperium, but also Drinax, so transitioning should be easier than the default location. Bonus is not having to deal with the layover on 567-908.

I guess this is a case of YTU will differ from OTU based on how your campaign goes and whether or not you plan to try to use any of that other material once you complete PoD.

Hmm, and here I thought it was pronounced beerny.

I'll state the obvious answer. You'll have to play to find out.

I think the Capt receiving 5 shares presumes he will be paying ship maintenance and resupply costs. So adopting a more egalitarian option would presume an equal responsibility for handling those costs as well. Something I've seen done in another game was that the cost of maintenance and resupply...

Another way to look at it is to assume the High Passage is tied to the TAS membership itself and is non-transferable. The person with the TAS membership presents their membership card (chip, whatever) and if the system shows they are entitled to a high passage, they can use it. If they use it...

Yeah, per the core rules "storage capacity of computers is not used in Traveller as, beyond TL8, the capacity of even a modest computer is effectively unlimited." So, any navy ship probably has the records on board, which as the OP says, gets updated whenever they are in an Imperium or allied...

Maybe you want Mindjammer Traveller Edition?

The way I rationalize skills and human intervention is that even if true AI exists, and there are a lot of reasons why a society may stifle that development, it's still not practical or economically feasible for everything to use it. So just like we have auto-pilots on planes today, starships...

Both "The Tktk Convergence" and "Iron Spine" were already in my Wishlist on DriveThruRPG. Now having seen your Acis write up, they definitely get bumped up in the queue for purchase sooner rather than later.
