Maybe just have a factor ride with them as an observer. or maybe a fire team of security troops lol. Considering the rates of skipping, hijacking, and piracy, maybe they just do as seems the case these days: nothing lol.

I actually like the quarter thing, tossing the extra weeks in throughout the year. *would* throw of payment due at end of month thing (perhaps?) If per the calender a month is 4 weeks then there are 13 a year. we can call it 12 but yes I'd want those extra 4 weeks. otherwise I would be making an...

Personally I'm a bit dismayed at the work-ups of some of the weaponry available as regards the lethality. Haveing the END get hit first regardless seems to overly penalize low-end characters. Armor also seems to be real high levels and have a *dramatic* effect on damage (people saying...

off hand dark matter sure you could have some fun with it I imagine, offhand my understanding is it's the opposite of matter, negates gravity. maybe it makes the 100D limit less for jumps. Dark energy? meh Stellar anomalies one that's been around for a long while, often ignored. this is using...

Maybe rather than use the drive-disable-gun or whatever they just have a radio switch they hit that activates the roof blow-off and ejection seat, then swoop you up as ya parachutin down <s> Good point atpollard on the tech level, import/tariff n such as well!

CT had 10kCr for a high, 8kCr for a mid, assuming no stewards (say luxuries (though that 1MCr is 4166Cr a month...) that comes out 2500Cr/t High, 2kCr/t Mid by tonnage of the staterooms, freight carriage the same at 1kCr/t MgT (at J1) 6kCr High, 3kCr Mid, for 1500Cr/t High, 750Cr/t Mid. Again...

Class Laser Shark Type LS Strike Corvette 200t TL 9/A/B MgT ship Designer Maccat (CotI) Second MgT design attempt. A Giant freaking Shark with a freaking “Laser” on it's head! No, it's not too much to ask, so here we have it lol. Deck plans in progress! (CotI Boards) On a more pragmatic...

ok... so would a bomb-pumped torpedo count? or does it have to contact like other missile/torpedoes. it mentions "stand-off" Can you just off load it and once clear from frying your own ship it shoots? 6D6 laser hm? That's not a torpedo, it's my XRay Laser Barbette! heh. Also any great increase...

Um, but that's just it it's not extra, it costs you 4t for the stateroom which could be freight at 1kCr/ton, not even counting the life support, required medic and steward (8t, plus *more* life support, plus salary) and already we're up to 1.5MCr for the staterooms themselves (6250Cr/mo payment)...

it does thanks much! (still wondering though bomb-pumped standoff how that works, guess it's just subsumed by the -2DM on the PD roll so ok with that)

For the life of me I cannot tell at what range the point defense occurs, also because of the "stand off" capability of the bomb-pumped Laser torpedoes, is it further? There's something saying sand is as effective as lasers at medium range or greater, so my guess is PD is/starts at medium range...

no instead of a Jump 2 ship (say a scout/courier J2A) makes a jump 2, goes 2 parsecs in a week a ship (say a Type A 200t Free Trader J1A, with demountable tanks) Makes a jump 1 then makes a second jump 1, takes 2 weeks for a total of J2. or along a main they take a passage for 2 jumps away, but...

Offhand sounds like the HG SRD Alternative Drive: Hyperspace Drive. opens a portal (big amount energy to initiate), uses no additional fuel (meaning none ya?) The description sounds crazy fast, I'd use maybe a different speed um @1G for 1 week one parsec what 4.2 light year per G say makes a 1G...

... and any automedic using an expert program, which requires intellect program, which is illegal at law level 1 (the imperial space law level) kind of messes with the whole idea of automated ships (pilots, navs, engs, gunners). I'd include the um Logan's Run auto/servo bodyshaper/cosmetic...

Barbette only takes a hardpoint, so you could have 5 (or whatever). The damage amount seems to be to get through armor and/or have harder (or more) hits (per hit gah), right? So unless everyone is mega-armouring their ships, 6d whether in one hit or 2x2d should prolly be 'bout the same in...
