Hello, Lately, several people have been posting some tailsitter style ships. I have had a tailsitter design on my to-do list for ages. I designed it for a campaign I ran last year. The Hefry Class Packet Transport is a jump-1, manoeuvre-2, 2000-dTon vessel capable of carrying 1216 tons of...

Hi, This has been bugging me for months. I half-remember a very brief ship article (1, maximum 2 pages) from the '80s or '90s. I was in a magazine (possibly British) that was not specifically focused on Traveller, possibly White Dwarf, Different Worlds or Space Gamer or something else. I have...

Have you watched the movie Gattaca with Ethan Hawke and Jude Law? Once gene editing becomes commonly available, not using it to ensure your child has every possible genetic advantage will be tantamount to child abuse. I can see the same in cloning. If you are going to go to the expense of...

Looks like you are having a good time coming up with a competitor! I look forward to seeing your mapped and detailed ship.

I don’t have the skills to illustrate it, but I would like it to be more ovoid shape. Economics are a hard one. The ruthless drive to make ships as profitable as possible make for narratively boring ships. The focus here was on making a different vessel. You don’t see many modular ones. I...

I think whether or not the planetoid would be shaped would depend on the purpose. If the ship was just using the rock for armour, but bits of other technology would be sticking out, I would agree, the planetoid would be roughly shaped to have to similar thickness all the way around, removing a...

I am encouraged by the fact Mongoose has recognized that 'Vehicles' was broken and they have committed to a new version that actually works. I like High Guard'22 a lot. It is not too detail heavy, but it mostly allows you to build the ship you want. I agree, all the ships in all their...

Good to know. I know I have said this at least three times in this thread, I think the modular hull option needs a rule expansion and clarification (perhaps as a Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society article, or in some other book release). A lot of people have stated their opinions or...

I have to say, after three pages of posts, I am more confused about modular hulls than when I started. If I calculate the cost of a regular 150-dTon streamlined hull, it is MCr9. It is 100% contained, no other costs are required to make it spaceworthy. Now, if I make part of that ship (33.3%)...

I appreciate the reference. However, I shouldn’t have to look how sample ships are calculated and then work backwards from that how the rule is meant to be applied. It should state it in the design rules. This goes back to my point that the rules need clarification.

Where is that written?
