That’s good for you- I want my copy too!!!!

Modern railguns are between 40mm and 155mm. That is roughly equivalent to submunitions for a Traveller missile (or the dogfight missile which is 1/4 the size of a standard missile)

IMTU, we have Kinetic Kill missiles that are (effectively) dogfight missiles launched from a Railgun Turret or "standard-equivalent" missiles launched from a Railgun Barbette. This was derived from the displacement of ammunition for each roughly equating to each other. The end result is an...

With the new Vehicle Handbook, will there be a concurrent release of a new Vehicle Design Worksheet?

Just adding this cross-thread here: https://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/threads/travellers-needed-high-guard-updates.125784/post-1029452

Yes, very old school- I remember reading about that in the LBB Mercenary, and was glad to see how it carried on through all the modern editions.

I think the worst abuse I had was installing a rotary autocannon with nuclear specialized munitions on a 10-dton stealth fighter (.5 dtons, 500 rounds, doing 6DD at Auto 5, with a .5km blast radius and an Extreme Range in Space of 8km or "Close"), and the most efficient was installing a Plasma...

I disagree. I don't think you are looking at it the right way. You can link man-portables in a single mount or turret (See "Linked Weapons" on pg 45 of the Vehicle Handbook): basically, you are using the "small turret", "large turret" and "pop-up mount" rules from page 38 of the Vehicle...

I am not sure I follow. There are a wide-variety of groundscale weapons that have 1DD damage and displace less than .25 dtons. These fit into the High Guard rules already, and allow you unlimited placement per "SMALLER WEAPONS" on page 40. Even some of the larger groundscale weapons (>1dton) can...

As a follow-up; IMTU, Lifters play an important role in reentry to an atmosphere or even landing on any planet. Pilot is the appropriate skill, although Flyer (Grav) works in a pinch (treated as -1 due to interface difference, e.g, spacecraft controls are different from aircraft controls-...

There are quite a few already; This is one of the lesser used aspects of Traveller High Guard.

Next week? Yay!

Now I am getting a better understanding of what is happening here. I am following a similar production line with my TAS Splatbooks.

That is my point. The Ship's Computer table stops making sense A TL 15 Computer/35 is MCr30. A TL 15 Retrotech Core/40/fib/bis is MCr 1.4 A TL 15 Retrotech Core/80 is MCr 23.7

Have you @Shardan13 considered using the Retrotech rules? 1/2 cost per TL works out really well in filling those gaps, even when you add in /bis and /fib. Or, adding in the 2300AD rules for NETWORKED CORES: Multiple cores can be installed to manage the operations of large stations. The networked...
