    B865500-C What could this world look like?

    Fewer Reserves in an entire sector than the UK does in National Parks? Roughly 17,000km2. Imperial Reserves in Core Sector? Roughly over 200 million km2, counting only land area. Seems like the Imperium has way more Reserve in 1 Sector than the UK does. Also, we are only aware of one type of...

    IMTU 20 dTon J1 corpsicle hauler

    Yeah, I noticed that you ditched the minimum 5-ton for jump equipment thing, but I never used to use that. I didn't mention it because IYTU the rules can be whatever you want them to be. I have started using the minimum tonnage rule for the last several years, but that is a relatively recent...

    IMTU 20 dTon J1 corpsicle hauler

    Yeah, IMTU Ship Shares are just counted as investment capital, so you can use them to buy commercial vehicles/equipment, such as Mining Bots. I use this as my basis for allowing this change.

    Confused about how Gunner skills interact with weapon mounts

    Now I am back to being confused again. :(

    Law Level 0 seems to be a bit more than just that. Seems like you'd need an armored firefight and military weapons to even get noticed by whatever the law is there. Edit - Now I have to go see if I have the Third Imperium book... :P

    Confused about how Gunner skills interact with weapon mounts

    This would mean that the pilot would always be making a Task Chain Pilot roll to add to the Gunner checks of his crewmates. Is that stated somewhere and I missed it? :(

    Not sure if you want a vacation spot with LL 0. Even Acapulco, Mexico has some law and no one wants to go there anymore. lol Edit - Also the wiki page suggests a strong separatist presence on the planet which could explain the government and law levels.

    Aren't the Reserves labeled on the Travellermap or am I wrong? Edit - I see 3 Reserves listed in Core Sector on the Travellermap.

    Confused about how Gunner skills interact with weapon mounts

    Is it a Task Chain? First the Pilot roll and then a modified Gunner roll at a -2 penalty for multiple actions? It still seems weird. The pilot can only fire the turrets in a forward-facing position, like the fixed mounts, or can they be fired in any direction as is normal for turrets? It seems...

    B865500-C What could this world look like?

    Just looking for opinions on what this world could look like. It is located at Core 1733 and is called Zimmel. It seems to be an interesting world to me as it is in Core Sector and has no government and no law level, but it is a Garden World. So, I am curious what all of your takes on what...

    Confused about how Gunner skills interact with weapon mounts

    They totally could. You are right, but that wouldn't change the fact that it is two different skillsets, aiming by flying the craft and aiming by pointing a turret. One seems to be more about your ability to pilot the craft and the other seems more about the ability to use a turret.

    Technology & Progression

    Memorization is not understanding. If you have engineers who can't bridge two points, then are they really even engineers or are they just claiming to be engineers? The US educational system is designed to train drones, not creative thinkers. That is why most Americans can't think their way out...

    Technology & Progression

    For a game mechanic we need to consolidate things into a usable structure though, not just throw every bit of science at it and marvel at the mess we made. lol
