The formula for Basic Military Budget% (page 204, 253, and in the example on page 207) appears to be incorrect: the "2% x" should probably be "2% +"

I noticed an additional errata issue related to Compatibility. The page 251 checklist. Section d. has "biomass rating" in the formula rather than what should probably be biocomplexity.

I am generally not a critic of artwork, but the trend towards the anime/manga/robotech styles in recent publications does not appeal to me. Especially when depicting sophonts (in or out of armor). I first really noticed it with the Imperial Navy book; most of the figures are decent enough, but...

Can anyone point me to canon examples of Vargr or Aslan landed nobles in the Third Imperium? I was thinking of replacing a count or duke with a non-human and just wanted some background info. I know the Imperium is human-centric, but I remember reading somewhere that non-human landed nobles do...

IMTU noble fiefs are usually much smaller than listed in most Traveller sources. They function essentially as residential estates. A noble's base income does not typically derive from direct tax revenues and resource extraction of an estate, but is instead a fixed (but generous) subsidy based on...

I think all of my orders have been mixed pre-order and in-stock orders. I have always received a big box of the stock items very quickly and the others dribble in as they are printed. I never had an issue with physical orders and give Mongoose and their US partner Studio 2 the highest marks for...

Matches closely to how I handle it. Most High Ports require inbound traffic, even if transient, to make a stop at the High Port. Most of these ships would not be required to dock, but rather held at a nearby anchorage until they have been inspected, assessed by customs, and cleared to proceed...

I enjoyed the original Borderland product. I also love Pirates of Drinax. Will the new Borderland book make some attempt to reconcile some issues between to two? One area of concern for me is the interface between the old Kingdom of Drinax and The Borderland. The Trojan Reach book in POD makes...

Ditto. Has anyone noted that the original Battleline version was published in 1977? I wonder what other games were published that year...? ;)

Sounds like Flat Top in space to me :-) https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2529/flat-top

Exactly. Looks at Warhammer for example. Instantly recognizable thanks to great artists like John Blanche and sculptors like the Perry brothers.

Ditto. I like to see the sigs. I learned about Boris Vallejo, Caldwell, Elmore, Easley, Darlene, Erol Otus and all the other greats from their signatures. If Michelangelo signed the Pieta then surely all artists should be allowed to do the same.

Are there any Florian ship designs in published material (official or fanon)? Any artwork for them? It would be interesting to see how these weird dimorphs design and operate their ships. Especially since they don't exactly come off as an imaginative bunch. A Pirates of Drinax campaign might...

I would argue that today is a golden age for boxed wargames. Look at the GMT website to see how many they currently have and are in the que. Perhaps a partnership between Mongoose, FFE, and GMT (or another wargame company) would be able to produce something that appeals to a wider audience than...

Starting a thread on the Imperial Army. I thought Geir's comment in the Marine thread deserved a bit more attention: My vision of the Imperial Army is that it is similar to the c.19th-early 20th century British Army (post Cardwell reforms). A regimental system based on battalions. A regiment...
