It is quite complicated. The original version of system builder used the Titus-Bode law, which defined orbits to specific radius: So Orbit 1 is 0.4 AU (Mercury), Orbit 2 is 0.7 AU (Venus) etc. T-B is NOT a "law" it was a formula someone worked out to account for the known orbital positions of...

Classic Traveller: Trillion Credit Squadron has a big part of the book devoted to how much money each world can generate for a naval fleet. Exactly how the fleets/squadrons are organized is really up to you. They should be very different though. Perhaps base the Sword Worlds on old Terran/Eather...

MGT1 Book 6: Scoundrels has a chapter on Intrusion and Hacking. It is based largely on the feel from Shadowrun etc. so that might be helpful.

Follow-up to that issue. What is Mongoose's position on the possible revocation of the original OGL document that other OGLs are based on? Would current Mongoose OGL's be at risk (such as the Traveller OGL or the Legend OGL)?

This is great! Thanks Matt and the Mongoose Team! :) Merry Christmas and a Happy (and Profitable) New Year! :)

I like to let the players roll the dice First, then pick which skill table to select their skill from. This makes it semi-random, but gives them control too. For characteristics, I have always used "roll first, then assign" so they get the type of character they want, but still random-ish.

I love these books, but I am a bit disappointed there was not a New race in any of these three books; just updating (and expanding!) the info on the old races. :(

The MGT1 version gave you "averages" for those things, but as everyone else has said, it really should vary by society/culture.

I finally bought this yesterday and stayed up all night reading it! IT IS FANTASTIC! Great Job MJD!

The Iron Gate strategy is described in the Solomani Front book. Basically, an Iron Curtain type of strategy that is severely underfunded. It was also described in previously Solomani books.

I love MJD's fiction. :)

The rules under skill or characteristic checks say the if there is no target number/difficulty listed, you assume 8+ as the target. So since no target was listed in the rule, you should use the 8+ target. :)

What about something both new and old? An adventure series set in Distric 268. The players are part of an ex-Imperial group working to integrate the subsector into the Imperium - they start in 1105 with a 10-year goal to bring the District into the 3I. BUT, things get interrupted part-way...

I have simplified language even more. Language 0 provides tourist/learner/basic info and Language 1 is fluent. Also, you know a number of languages equal to your EDU DM in addition to the common language (whatever you want to call that). This should be modified by Culture. I would suspect that...

There is also a category of "super-Earths" that are basically tiny Gas Giants - more atmosphere than planet, but only a couple earth radii. That same sized world, located closer to the star, is a terrestrial Super-Earth. Tough to do Transitional worlds like that though... :)
