A capital ship has a lot more available volume for drives than a fighter, the grandfathered designs are just very poor compared with what you could do with the construction rules in HG2022. Imperial TL15 warships could all be built with M9 and a much better weapon load out going by the rules as...

The Imperium at peace? Are you sure about that? "Traveller assumes a remote centralized government (referred to in this volume as the Imperium), possessed of great industrial and technological might, but unable, due to the sheer distances and travel times involved, to exert total control at...

own setting... yes unrelated... we will have to wait ans see CivX is far off in the galaxy, we do not as yet know from which world the STL ships set off from thousands of years ago could be from Earth, but what if it was Vilani, or a minor human race... I expect to see conversion notes...

There is no reason you can not put M-9 into a capital ship, the grandfathered designs are not an indication of what the rules allow. if you want to stick to the setting than the fighters are 6g and the capital ships are 6g. If the fighters are going to be redesigned in light of the new rules...

Post Singularity intelligent ships will be all over the setting, depending on how it plays out of course :) Intelligent ships are also a thing in TNE and beyond. I personally quite like the Andromeda Ascendant ship intelligence, mobile avatar, the whole package. In my Culture setting...

There are 1564 backers as of writing this. Some will be Traveller collectors. Some will be rpg collectors. The interesting demographic are the people who play nothing but 5e who want to take a punt on the Traveller experience using rules they will never move on from. If they want more Charted...

"A planetary navy may procure ships at any shipyard within the borders of its subsector; alternatively, a planetary navy may construct ships on its planet, using local resources, even if a shipyard is not present." CT HG'80, never overwritten to date. "The technological level of the world...

World governments and navies have shipyards that are not available to civilian use. A civilian starship yard earns a starport an A rating. A government/corporate/military/private yard doesn't affect the civilian starport code, the world may have a C class starport and be building battleships.

I can think of lots of uses for manned small craft. Space to space combat vs peer opposition is not one of them. The rules allow me to mount a bay weapon that can destroy a small craft in a single hit at ranges beyond the small craft return fire range. Since I can maintain that distance then...

So you are willing to stick to MgT rules, therefore robot pilots replace human pilots. Rules as written no polity would put human pilots into space fighters for fleet vs fleet actions.

320 pages, it is a big book. It will take a while to go through it all...

You are going to kill your pilots thanks to failed low berth survival rolls... 🐙

I see many missed opportunities with FFW. A set of rules to fight out mercenary actions that ties into and improves on the Mercenary set. A set of rules for running minor naval engagements at up the the squadron vs squadron level - HG is not very good at this, the fleet combat rules are not...

We will not see that. Mongoose has said they will not advance the timeline. Every setting starts in 1105, in the case of FFW it leads up to the start in 1107. For Mongoose to plot a course for after the war means they have to have a canonical ending, which they have said they will not have...

Then Mongoose should have stayed well away from cybernetics, robots, augmentaion, expert programs etc. Original Traveller didn't have these things, Mongoose Traveller does, and Matt says if it is in a MgT book then it can be in their Charted Space setting. Which means said technolofies would be...
