    Hiver automation

    Also please note, if you are using my Command Center from my other thread, the size of the Command Center would be only 32 tons, freeing an additional 32 tons for cargo or what not. As a personal preference I would add a Collapsable Fuel tank to the cargo area of 51 tons to allow for a 2nd Jump...

    Hiver Control Center

    After running the numbers, the cost per 100 tons should fall somewhere between 1.7MCr and 2.5MCr based on the value of the individual components at the different sizes. I'm thinking 2.2MCr but I could be convinced that 2.5MCr is the best way to go. Also, to make it fit for the small craft...

    Hiver automation

    You have 24 extra tons of staterooms and do not properly account for full automation. This is a much better example that also more properly applies effects of the Command Center (Detachable Bridge, Armored Bulkhead, 3 tons Biosphere, 4 tons Common Area, Single Stateroom and an additional 27...

    Hiver Control Center

    I'm adding what's in there. The the only CC that would have any issue fitting everything is the 8 ton small craft CC. In that case, I would rule it only has a half staterooms, so 2 tons instead of 4 but cannot be double occupied, and counts as small bridge.

    Hiver Control Center

    I don't think the CC needs to be a robot, but it's a cool idea. And it would allow you to do some interesting things as TL improves. Part of the reason the CC is so big is simply because of all the advantages it offers. If it doesn't have those advantages, it should not be large.

    Hiver automation

    This was my response to why I think this is necessary from a related discussion on FaceBook. 1. It is inconsistent with Hiver technology and automation as described and implemented in previous editions of Traveller. Hivers have always been masters of robotics and automation and are recognized as...

    You should check out Tracy Hickman's XDM: X-treme Dungeon Mastery for good DM info for any setting.

    Hiver Control Center

    32 tons on a 100 ton jump ship is just too big. Especially if it doesn't offer anything besides bridge controls. Even using your idea of Small CC, there is no reason to not use the small one in a ship that small. The CC needs some additional benefits for it being so large and from the...

    Hiver Control Center

    No idea. I was just using the numbers provided by Mongoose as a base to fix the table and the odd jump from 16 to 25 to 64 bothered my computer tech brain.

    Automation in Charted Space

    The rules from the Companion sort of address that. They use cost alone, which is why I suggested adding a TL component. If you want to expand it further, every TL over 8 allows the maximum crew reduction to increase by 1% to a minimum of 10% at TL38.

    Automation in Charted Space

    There is a real problem with the automation rules in MgT 2e, though mostly for the Hivers (AoCS2). The K’kree (AoCS1) and the rules in the Traveller Companion are better and may need some tweaking. When you add to it the rules in the Robots Handbook for ship’s brains and robots and how they can...

    Hiver Control Center

    The Hiver Control Center table on page 235 of the Aliens of Charted Space Vol 2 is broken, it's jumps from 201 tons to 1000 tons up to 2000+ tons. Also, with the changes to bridge sizes with CRB 2024 with regards to 100 ton ships' bridges, it is out of sync. with that. This is my proposal...

    New pre-career events

    I'll be honest, I almost always treat the grant level 1 skill options as grant +1 skill level. But there are some times where that probably shouldn't apply

    New pre-career events

    There are some very cleaver event in there. I like it. I don't have anything creative to add.

    Entertainment in The Third Imperium

    Suits me just fine. But Furry isn't a Kink thing, it just has a bunch of subsets that have many different kink things.
