Perhaps the logical solution here is some kind of officially curated digital resource? I know Paizo has had great success with the Archives of Nethys. They officially post all the mechanical elements of their game there; feats, equipment, rules and statblocks from all their supplements and...

Some thoughts about radiation weapons in Highguard for consideration whenever the next update is. Radiation hardening raises a ship's protection to 1,000, making it impervious to the radiation trait, which have a max output of 720 rads (2Dx60). The sidebar describing Radiation Damage on Large...

Goodnesss, what a blunder. I guess it's been a while since I've missile salvo'd at the table. With that correction in mind, it changes matters somewhat, as there is now one salvo of 12 instead of 3 salvos of 4. Because each salvo can only be targeted once per round, this means there are four...

This is probably a weird nitpick, but I think the luxury passenger prices are too low. Here's my math... If each luxury stateroom requires 12.5 tons for the room and common space, 2 tons storage, 5 tons for a private steward cabin and common space, you're using 19.5 tons per luxury cabin. If...

Sounds like a fun session.

The Harrier certainly has an advantage in that fight which most ships do not, that's one of it's big advantages, but you have limited actions each round to use the EW suite, limited to either available sensor stations, or limited sensor operators, depending on how you read certain rules. The EW...

The Harrier can easily handle most small civilian and paramilitary traffic, but runs into trouble punching above it's weight class, or when tangling against serious combat ships. It is outgunned, for example, by the Gazelle-class escorts in Treasure Ship or the Fiery gunships in Peter Vallis'...

So, looking at the table, you've got Wealth and you've got Social Standing examples for that wealth level. Does that mean WEL is replacing SOC? That would certainly be a more North American way of handling social class. Looking at the broader picture, having Wealth as a stat implies that...

Here's a quick one. In the Solar Energy Systems section, it says... "For solar coatings, units indicate the percentage of the hull covered, limited to a maximum of 40% of the hull." This would mean that a 100,000 ton ship would produce the same amount of power as a 100 ton ship. Luckily, the...

Oh, good question! The 6D x 2 Minute response time does not factor in the storm at all. It represents the typical response time on a normal day. In regards to emergency services facing the storm, given that the train can't signal for help for the period it's in the storm, personnel likely do...

For those the curious, here is the table of contents. Page count is 50. I was the author on this project, so If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer. Also, I want to give a huge thank you to Mongoose for all their time and hard work putting this together. Thank you so much to...

Finally got a chance to sit down with this! Gosh, I've run this area a few times and it's really nice to get a closer look. Having data on the whole system instead of just the mainworld makes everything seem larger and wilder, as is appropriate for the region. There's lots of material here that...

But wait, there's more! Presenting the Fro-Zen Deluxe and Supreme! Playing around with the scaling a bit it seems there's a sweet spot for the concept at 200t, which puts it in a better place in regards to the 10ton minimum on J-drives, while keeping the bridge tiny. By taking advantage of...

Is crossing the Rift too expensive? Are all those fancy high-tech ships too confusing? We here at Fro-Zen have you covered! Our state of the line rift liner uses mature off-the-shelf technology designed for your comfort and discerning budget. Don’t want to spend weeks in a cramped a tin can with...

Off the top of my head... -NPCs are most commonly found in the various adventures, but those tend to be specific to that adventure. -Some (but not most) of the setting books have NPCs statted out. Glorious Empire, for example, has stats for both named figures (Grand Emperor Krial) and more...
