*shakes my head* the disrespect this game shows the Vargr just blows my mind.... makes me wonder whose Wheaties they collectively pissed in...:ROFLMAO:

pretty much as I see them. Easy to take ideas and inspiration for, and especially easy to take and place where you want. So many adventures are set in the Spinward Marches yet for me that is the least interesting (with the extra negative of being most cut off from the more interesting sections...

that one definitely caught my eye as I'm only aware of adventures 1-3. In fact I was going to celebrate my 6 month Traveller anni/buying rampage/end of marital disharmony/tanking the retirement fund by buying 2 and 3 which were the last of the catchup on previously released Mongoose 2E releases...

sounds like to me there is nothing to worry about or get worked up about ... tweaks/improvements/clarifications are great. A lot of people did seem to have issues with the old Vehicles book... sounds like a great idea to actually do something about it. Sure Geir will do a top notch job with...

yeah.. sorry about that. I did go off the deep end without a speedo didn't I lol. And no... nothing like that in the campaign I've got going. It's like ... deciding to settle in Italy after getting out the service. The Nat. Guard or the reserves ain't going to work for you. Traveller's...

gave one example.. if (when) the K'Khee come it will be a Imperium wide threat when they go blown Ghengis Khan and give a planet 24 to either surrender or get vaporized. None of that lay siege and give Chuck Norris the time to don his cape tomfoolery. Canon has already set it up hasn't it...

sure.. if the Zhodani had overrun large parts of the Spinward Marches, taken important worlds, from the get go.. you could have seen 'emergency' measures taken place like ol' Chuck getting the warrant to take charge, kick some asses, and set things right in the world. But that never really...

nah... not to be ignored but used as they are intended. They would be recalled when the crap really hits the fan... wait about a decade or two when the K'Kree come calling, not to try to take a planet or two but to extinguish and conquer, and hit the soft trailing underbelly of the Imperium...

yeah... as a newbie to Traveller but not to RPG and their various settings and metaplot fails.. I was sort of curious about this 5FW, heading heard and read so much of it, and so I got the book but not without some trepidation. Wisely it seems.. I was VERY unwhelmed. Not by the writing or...

all starports?? yeah break out your computer or your T.I. .. but only class A and B can build ships so that will narrow your totals down... a bit. Outside the main system starports.. probably only the larger higher population worlds might have class A or B as general Imperial starports. Locally...

my opinion??? Less... I'd go 5 as a general rule. Only take a few systems where there are only 1 or 2 settled planets to drag the average down.

true but what are those worlds.. usually the main trade/commercial hubs for those systems. Just because you can build a ship in a class A orbiting a prime economic driver doesn't mean you have to or will. Any room at a starport given over to ship construction would less space you can berth...

sounds like a lot and it is.. but still only a fraction as that counts only the main system starport. Many systems have multiple worlds, and likely multiple Imperial starports. Doesn't even get into system, non imperial starports owned and operated by privates (like Megacorporation shipyards)...

yeah the obvious answers are usually the best... it is old technology.. thus reliable in any weather, any conditions. Cost effective for moving large amounts of material or people. Just look at the Concorde just because we could fly across the ocean in a few hours decades ago doesn't mean we...

my impression of it is they are titles.. and you do get some tangible benefits with it. Holdings upon those worlds. The higher the title the more the bigger and the better. but nobles aren't a part of sovereign planets day to day activities or governments. Nobles serve as Imperial...
