My thought is that merchant vessels in Vargr space are well armed with crews ready to counter-board if attacked. This is like the age of piracy in the Caribbean. Trade didn't stop. The Spanish sailed galleon's full of gold right through the middle of the pirates. But every mechantman had to be...

I have always assumed that a Type S (or any standardized type) that are built in different shipyards will have variations by default. I use the example of the WWII Sherman tank. You can tell which factory a tank was built in by the data plaque, but also by small variations. There are also many...

AAAAArrrrrggggghhhhhh..... I have been anxiously awaiting this since the November deadline.... Be patient, be patient, be patient....It will be worth it. That is what I keep telling myself.

Refitting is something that definitely needs a rules update. The hull is a very big and expensive component (especially heavily armoured ones). It makes sense to reuse the hull via a retrofit rather than discarding it. The US Navy keeps older ships in mothballs. They refitted WWII battleships...

Yes, I know it is being released in February. That is the reason for my question. I am really looking forward to the article. I would like to know if Mongoose has picked a specific date in February when they are planning on releasing the Core Expeditions book? Thank you.

Do we have a date yet when Core Expeditions will be released in PDF?

I am also curious what a “tour of the Hive Federation” would look like. Perhaps the PC are representatives of a mega corporation or the Third Imperium or Solomani Confederation sent to establish relations. I would love some material that fleshed out what travel, trade, diplomacy and life is like...

The Hive Federation has not been very well detailed. Yes, we got Aliens of Charted Space 2, but the description of the actual Federation itself was just 5 pages. For a civilisation with 170 different races, that is only the most superficial of overviews. Who are all these intelligent races...

In case anyone was wondering about the ship's finances, here is my estimate: Assuming two Jump-2 per month: 12 x High passage (14,000) = 168,000 12 x low passage (1300) = 15,600 100 dTons cargo (1600) = 160,000 Revenue: total = 343,600 Cr x 2 = 687,200 Cr / month (best case scenario) Monthly...

The Florian 400-dTon Fast Interceptor was the only one I saw, but it was cool.

Hi Peleliu, Sorry for the thread-necromancy, I have created a Florian League version of the Subsidized Merchant I thought you might be interested in. The Florians are known for their ugly, boxy ships. This one is designed to carry two 50-dTon modules like those found in Robert J Pearce's Ship...

Hi all, In the Traveller Release Schedule thread: https://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/threads/traveller-release-schedule-2025.125246/post-1022202 Randall brought up the Hinterworlds Sector. Last year, I ran an eight month campaign set in the Hinterworlds Sector. I would LOVE to see that...

I recently ran a campaign in the Hinterworlds sector. I would LOVE to see that area developed. As mentioned by others, it is an interesting area, bordered directly by the Third Imperium, Solomani Confederation and Hive Federation, and slightly more distantly by the Two Thousand worlds of the...

To quote Charlie Brown, "Aaaarrghhh"

I am very much looking forward to the Core Expeditions. I hope it is still in schedule. - Kerry
