Thank you.

Errata Core Rulebook p. 191 - Flavor text for Modular Cutter - end of first para - "...on Page XX."

In the new Core Rulebook, small craft have an entry labeled "Cabin Space" in Systems. Where is Cabin Space defined?

I contacted DTRPG as directed above and referenced my original Order number when I purchased the Beta. Can be found in your order history. They sent me the link for discounted purchase right away.

Saw tweet from Mongoose announcing Core release. Saw forum postings that Core available. Read forum postings that voucher coming in email. Got DTRPG Newsletter announcing Core release. Read others have got voucher. Have not seen email with my voucher. Yes, I have checked my junk mail folders to...

How will the the Beta guarantee work? I purchased Beta from DTRPG.

Issue: The CREW DUTIES list on p. 154 misses several important crew duties that could have a use in Space Combat. Reference: (NEWTRV_IPDATE_27.OCT) P. 154 lists the following crew: - Pilot - Captain - Engineer - Sensor Operator - Turret Gunner - Bay Gunner - Marine - Passenger But what about...

Issue: Engineer skill examples and the Space Combat Actions for Engineers a do not align. Reference (All from NEWTRAV_UPDATE_27.OCT) p. 64 CHAPTER TWO: SKILLS AND TASKS - Engineer - Specialties - M-Drive - "Overcharging a Thruster Plate to Increase a Ship's Agility: Difficult (10+) Engineer...

Issue: There are three rules for how an Engineer makes a Jump; they all don't align. References (All from NEWTRAV_UPDATE_27.OCT): p. 65 Chapter Two: SKILLS AND TASKS - Engineer - SPECIALTIES - J-Drive: "Making a Jump: Routine (6+) Engineer (J-drive) check (1Dx10 minutes, INT)" p. 148 Chapter...

I don't think the original question was answered...nor do I think it was it fully understood. I think the OP is asking, "When dogfighting, a ship gets 60x the number of combat actions; does this make sense?" In my opinion, the shift from a 6-minute Space Combat Round to a 6-second Dogfight...

Nowhere in my pdf does the word "operational" even exist so I don't see where the operational range concept is derived from. Spacecraft Weapons on p.157 which states "they cannot attack targets beyond their listed Range Band" seems pretty explicit to me. Taken together with the various weapon...

Better yet, once the final version comes out have multiple formats like PDFs for notebook users and ePub for tablets.

Yes, for the reasons Shawn has given, and if the use can be clearly defined. I now see that DM+2 is different from Boon. The possible results of DM+2 is 4-14. With a Core Mechanic that depends on Effect this is significant. For an Average check it means the range of Effect is -4 to +6. [There...

The more I consider it, I see Boon/Bane having four uses; three very specific and one more nebulous. 1. When changing Timeframes (p. 60) 2. When there are no relevant DMs to describe the exterior effect (requires an reinterpretation of p. 61) 3. When determining Initiative in Ambushes (p. 70)...

If you look at Shawn's chart at http://shawndriscollrpg.blogspot.com/2012/10/an-alternate-die-roll-for-traveller.html then Boon/Bane seems to be not much different than a DM+2/DM-2. "Boon" appears 21 times in the rules. "Bane" appears 38 times. There are literally hundreds of DMs in the rules...
