Just picked up the "new" High Guard. Very impressive book. Of special interest to me is the guidelines for doing deck plans. But I find an oddity that leaves me wondering if I am reading something or seeing something wrong. It states that 1 ton of jump drive, maneuver drive, or power plant takes...

See? I told you I was missing some costs. Thanks. :D

Ah, yes. Did my math wrong on the rooms. So, assuming 3 rooms for crew (tight, but it's profit) that would be 7 middle passengers (43,000) and 11 low (7,700). This would make the new total for the run 131,100 credits. But... I also figured the mortgage wrong. The value of a share is much higher...

In toying with a few shipping scenarios (in 2e) I am beginning to wonder if the income from shipping simple freight and passengers may not be too high. I'm wondering if I'm missing hidden costs (or some wonky personal math) that might be the issue. For example, let's assume a Free Trader taking...

Cool. Thanks.

In the 2nd edition rulebook, pages 207 to 209, it lists various DMs for rolling on the Freight, Passenger, and Mail Traffic tables. Which world do you consider for these DMs? The current world or the destination world?

Each with a little bit of housekeeping performed I assume?

Coming into this game line a bit late I'm looking at catching up on a few titles. But, if possible, I want to pick up the ones that have had at least one print run in which to work out some bugs. So, which Traveller titles have hit their second print run with at least some error correction? I...

I'm looking for the 10 to 20 ton range, so it sounds like High Guard has what I need. Thanks!

I'm having trouble figuring out which book contains rules for designing starfighters. Is it High Guard or the pending Fighting Ships?

Just to make sure, does that mean that, when designing my own deck plans, each component (jump drives, cargo spaces, etc) should take up a total of 14 cubic meters per ton?

You're absolutely right! I haven't been posting (or reading) here long so I was unaware of the apparent history behind typos and Mongoose. I was just pointing it out because I thougt it was a funny, quirky error (which I attributed to printer/format error, not human error). But I AM impressed...

To be fair this specific error is a bit different. It's not like they would have seen it as an error existing in the original typing 'cause it was there the first time. I imagine it was some sort of automated formating that ripped the 'x' symbols out and it was just missed because nobody...

That's a little harsh, I think. You can generally figure out where they're supposed to be as you're reading through the text so it isn't like it is game wrecking or anything. And so far I've only found maybe 4 locations where they were dropped from formulas. As modern RPG editing goes this is...

I did a search for "x" in the pdf and the only time it occurred by itself (in a formula) was on a couple charts. In text it was nowhere to be found (in a formula, at any rate).
