Well, been running one set in a subsector of my own creation. First couple of sessions were getting the players used to the system, buying their ship, and then a couple quick passenger/trade runs. Last night, I threw actual plot at them. They seemed to really enjoy it. Next game, two weeks...

Being pedantic...but, only 1/6 of those that pass their term without any thing happening that forces them to leave the service, i.e. Mishaps. And only if they decide to forgo the cash side of the table. It's not as straightforward as you say. Plus...these tables are for Travellers (PCs) and...

Those 2 choices were basically what I came up with in my head as being the crux of the matter. I guess I'm going to have to decide how I want my TU to work. I'm leaning towards constant fuel drain. I guess I'm curious as to how others have looked at/dealt with the issue.

There's mention of a misjump lasting trillions of subjective years...so I'm assuming that this means that misjumps can cause time to pass for much longer inside the jump bubble during transit.

As a final note to this question - The rules for the Docking Clamp found their way into my hands, so I used those. I assumed that the addition of the clamp would extend the bubble as well. Now, my players just have to deal with the fact that their rated Jump 2 ship suddenly became a rated...

Silly little question I just thought of. Jump travel consumes 0.1 x tonnage x Parsecs travelled in fuel tonnage. This lasts for one week in Jump Space. During that week, is the fuel for the ship's powerplant also consumed? Meaning that the actual fuel consumption for a jump is Travel + Half...

Sorry for the delay. Was sick. It's a 200 ton former Biologic Research Lab ship (designed by me). They are in the process of purchasing/converting it to a trader/passenger ship. It's a 3 PC crew, so I offered to let them have an NPC that I had made up to learn the character gen rules. This...

Ah, success! Okay, that at least lets me know that HG does have something in it concerning this.

That would make sense with two spacecraft (ships with Jump Drives). I'm just trying to figure out some options for a spacecraft having a non-spacecraft clamped on or something. A 200 ton spacecraft with a 30 ton Ship's Boat (that has no Jump drive) clamped on.

That makes sense, which would then translate as a bonus to Steward instead of an "effective" level of Steward, at least in my opinion.

Well, then you have consider whether or not to take the tonnage away. The results that add in sensors and other items mention removing tonnage from cargo space if needed. (I did also up the cost of ship due to advanced sensors being installed as I figured that would increase the cost of...

Is there any guideline into how large the bubble is? Is it skintight? A certain radius away from ship? Although, the requiring of a larger jump drive might be an interesting side effect, especially if it's one of the larger "craft" they attempt to bolt on. Perhaps a Pinnace would bump it up...

Hmmm, this gives me stuff to think about. I think I've come up with 3 options actually. Internal bay. (uses up tonnage) External Attachment collar. (uses Hardpoint, allows access via internal airlock, will affect fuel consumption/maneuvering) "Bolting" it on. (no hardpoint use, access only...

In the tables for aging a starship, one result gives you +1 DM to Steward checks. Does that affect how many High and Middle class passengers you can care for? Or does it only impact when you are satisfying the passengers requests while onboard? I'm leaning towards the second, but thought...

My playgroup has a 200 Ton Ship that they are going to be refitting to suit their purposes. One idea put forward is to get a small ship and to, I'm quoting here, "bolt that bad boy on the side." As I'm trying to be open to their ideas and not squash their fun outright, I looked to see if there...
