It looks really good. Just as I remember the old books. Not sure they were very playable around a table but I loved them.

This is beautiful - just as I remember the best starship plans in Traveller.

I was brought up with Classic Traveller and the ships in those books look generally a lot more used than the illustrations we see in the new books. But of course they are also b&w so I guess I always imagined them as grey or white. I dont much like the new looking ships with bright colours. Just...

I would like to see pamphlets covering major destinations of the Traveller universe such as cities, starports, military complexes or important buildings, sights to see, libraries, banks, starports, restaurants and bars etc. These would flesh out some important locations in the universe which...

A lot of the larger ship's 2d plans do not make sense in 3d. It's just designers not understanding 2d space and 3d volume, having to make quick assumptions and guesses, and thinking that if they fudge it no-one will notice that they dont make any sense. But at the end of the day its just a game...

Strange scale 28mm, why have they picked that when 15mm has always been the Traveller miniature scale? I think 15mm works much better where you are usually at some distance with firearms, as opposed to close combat such as D&D where 28mm makes more sense. I've actually got a lot of 3mm...

All made more difficult because to play the game fairly realistically the characters will want to go around with lighter armour and weapons most of the time unless they are actually taking part in a war. Also there is no real levelling up, getting much stronger, getting vastly more improved with...

In the old days of Classic Traveller the original rules didnt actually have a setting just some assumptions on the universe. The lore came later which I just gradually picked up from the adventures and library books, but wasnt a massive fan of a lot of it (especially most of the aliens which...

T5 failed because it was an obvious mess in the making. Anyone with a head on their shoulders could see that. Some people bought it anyway. I did not. I love Traveller but I wont buy low quality publications however well intentioned they are. I dont think Mongoose is working, theres a lot of...

I do not want to see Mongoose wasting any more time on updating books or churning out the myriad of other books. It's about time they sorted themselves out. They should IMO produce a few limited really good quality books like D&D 5th Ed that have been expertly checked, edited, illustrated and...

I meant the ships are not overly colourful in Star Wars or 2001

Well I am in a minority lol, but I am honestly glad that people find the Mongoose art good because as long as Traveller is popular it will be around and Mongoose are producing some decent books like the World Builder Book. For myself I guess being brought up with Star Wars and 2001 made me feel...

Maybe I am just getting too old but I prefer having fewer books than more. Whereas I would love to see what is in Bounty Hunter for example I can live without. There was once a time when I would buy it just to see it ... and then never use it. Those times are past especially with these days of...

The only problem I have with Mongoose Traveller now is all the books are so expensive and there are so many of them. £40 each for all of them. Thats just priced me out of buying new stuff. I cant afford that for every book. When you look at D&D there are only three books you really need and they...
