INS for Imperial Naval Ship has been used several times. 8)

Nukes for demolition I can see, not sure I would want them for mining - uncontrolled debris + melting of the ore + radiation effects. Don't forget the traveller universe has plentiful and cheap energy. High powered lasers to slice up asteroids, fusion tunnelling to get at ore etc. Lot more...

Re star mercs and allowed weapons. Two things will drive what ships and weapons starmercs will have - economics will typical drive them towards small escorts for convoy and plant protection work, also the cost of building, maintaining and paying the crew of a cruiser size warship is just too...

As for ship weapons, customs agents and the starport authorities will pay more attention if yor vessel is armed. They expect civilian vessels can be armed and more so on the frontier but they are expecting turret mounted weapons - lasers, HE missiles, sand and maybe a plasma or fusion gun. They...

The Third imperium is still an empire, even thought it leaves its worlds to do pretty much as they want. All worlds have to give land to the Imperium to house the imperial starport as well as any naval or scout bases. All space outside 100D of the main world or its colonies is Imperial...

are you going to do paper copies of these?

There is a small picture in the old classic traveller Supplement 8 Library Data A-M. Its basically a small bridge / quarters module at the front end of a long spine, with an engineering module with all the drives and power plant. The rest of the ship is a dispersed structure of beams holding...

Any news on Part 4 of Pirates. Back in Oct Matt said they were just waiting on a date.

The Ine Givar are an organisation fighting against what they perceive to be the unjust system of imperial nobles / govt. They are perceived as terrorists by the 3I. They do take lots of funding from the zhos - as the zhos have a democratic form of govt and they have the cash to give to such...

Both books are on esdevium games distribution list for this week priced at £16.99 each :lol:

excellent :P

Yes, 2 of the original psionic insitutes were not closed down and moved under the Imperial Navy. One in the marches, and one on Terra on the solomanii rim. The solomani have the same potential for psionics as Imperials, but they are far away from the best source of psionic info i.e. the zho's...

Manchester is lucky with 3 game shops of varying quality, and I would like to keep it that way so I try to buy paper copies from them - also I still tend to find it easier to read a book than a computer screen. Come on mongoose, get these books printed and sent out to the local game stores

Apparently mongoose have not done a print run for general distribution to game stores at the moment. They say they will getting a print run done soon but no dates. At the moment if you want a copy its either the PDF version or a hardcopy on direct mail order from mongoose. Less than ideal and...

Since they haven't done a print run for distribution yet, I imagine it will be a month or two from when Mongoose decide to commission the print run. You can probably get a hardcopy mail order direct from mongoose but that doesn't keep your local game store in business. Its also disappeared...
