Meson guns ignore armor, but the particle and rail gun descriptions here mention the unique armor interactions.

I've picked up the 2022 High Guard update and was a bit confused on how armor works with spinal mounts in the update. On the Damage Multiple sidebars it mentions armor being subtracted from the damage total before the multiplier, and then whatever is left over is multiplied to get the damage...

Misunderstanding. Condottiere thought you meant wafer jacking the pilots from the Carrier and running the fighters as human linked drones. You mean wafer jacking the pilot in the cockpit with flight programs so they can skip training and just get the skills slotted in and out of the pilots head...

Right, forgot about common areas and the like. Hmm. What about the bridge? Isn't that taking up 10/20/whatever dtons of space for the control of the ship? 10 dtons on a free trader is a large area for maybe 3 or 4 pepole (pilot, copilot, sensors/comms, gunnery if assuming RC turrets) to sit...

If a fourth of the tonnage of a stateroom is dedicated to life support (reasonable for something keeping you alive), I just checked my PDF of my 1e core, and that is already taken from the floorspace of staterooms (at least for the type-a, only 3 dtons shown on the map) its just not allocated...

If you want to board, I guess the only option is to either shoot the turrets offline and find a way to stop the engines (EMP, power plant hits, m-drive hits). A ion gun could power down a ship and leave it for you to board safely. Until the power came back on.

It acts as a kind of filter from the "stuff people make", to the "stuff people endorse". The problem with Steams thing was that anyone could make anything and sell for profit (well, not quite now with steam refunds, but hey) with zero oversight. Or so my console peasant mind has gathered...

Well. Guess we haves an ansible now. TAKE THAT 80'S TECH ASSUMPTIONS! If it is real, and can be used, then I imagine it would cut down extremely on any communication lag.

Considering how casual space travel is in the star wars universe, the falcon could definitely fall under freighter. At least there. If some bloke on Tatooine wants a restock of whatever, you could load up enough on the falcon and her type to restock a couple stores. The analogy of free...

A bit. Kinda determines how much power a ship should be fit with so it functions. Jump Dimming may be a thing, but jump dimming for a whole week is a bit odd. So the clarification would help people designing their own ships in the future to decide what is reasonable for the amount of power needed.

Its definitely a sidebar subject. "Yo, irradiated places probably are still radioactive. Half-lives are very long, generally." But as a note, the example of nuking a spaceship and then coming back isn't exactly perfect. For an abandoned nuclear warhead storage facility (metal gear...?), then...

Given how many Free-Traders there are running around, and the advantage that streamlining/lift surfaces would give to a small ship like that, it seems likely that there would indeed be a ton of ships running around with streamlining, because they are small enough to be able to land on planets...

Oh wow. This...this pleases me.

Ok. So the amount of explosive must be squared to get the desired radius. Ok. That makes me a little less leery of this. Unless i'm wrong again. I always had figured that explosions in tunnels just expand further down the tunnel until it runs out of energy. A lot of action movies would have...

Best get popping those Rad Pills Extra-Strength Boys!
