So we can throw the refit section of High Guard in the bin, what next? Are the ships using reaction drives? if so which ones, the HG version ofr the ones that popped up in a supplement, or something new to this book?

Sigh, so more core rules hidden in an adventure... wonder if this stuff will be in the rules compendium or the High Guard revision updated revision?

So how many new High Guard rules...

A 10dt fighter is 140cubic metres - 6.44m diameter if a sphere so even a smallcraft can not evade the laser at 30,000km without adding more time for processing, targeting and vibration. A 5dt fighter is 70 cubic metres so even it has a diameter of 5.1 metres and can not evade if the laser is...

That's why in HG80 you get a higher to hit number with multiple weapons in a battery, the black globe rules show not all of them hit. A factor 9 laser batter has 30 individual weapons, yet only 9EPs are absorbed by the black globe, so we can infer 21 of them miss even on a successful hit. other...

No, I think you may be using the wrong equation. I apologise for the "feel" comment, it reads way worse than I intended. displacement is equal to one half of acceleration multipled by the square of the time s=0.5at2 0.5 x 60 x 0.2 x 0.2 = 1.2m

I wonder how many contributing to these threads have introduced new people to there games in the last couple of years? I have. I started with character generation and gave a brief description of the setting, and then it was off to Death Station. My crib sheet for the Third Imperium was not...

I will happily quibble your quibble. Where in all the Mongoose Traveller Third Imperium corpus does it mention that every human world is a mixture of Vilani, Solomani, minor human race cultures left to stew for over two thousand years and produce cultures as widely different as those detailed...

You have just done the hard part then incorrectly applied the equations of motion. A 6g ship has 0.2s to not be where it is predicted to be - we are aiming at centre of mass remember. So how far does 6g acceleration for 0.2 seconds get you? None of those ship sizes can avoid being hit. Here is...

The Aslan in that picture are on stairs.

It is cultural and Soc dependent... an American working class guy has more earning power than an affluent upper class Sudanese... and that's the problem with trying to calculate this stuff, "yanks in space..." the baseline is always western liberal democracy rather than looking outside the...

The Third Imperium setting is the problem. there is no society to fit into because very planet it its own society and "the Imperuim rules the space between the stars" (rubbish but that is a different argument) Where is the Imperial society that the ex-Imperial services career character can be...

I'm not talking about MTU, I am talking about the universe detailed by Mongoose itself. This has been extensively discussed. The Imperium grants home rule, it allows home rule, but it leaves member worlds under no illusion that the Imperium is the ultimate authority that grants those provisions...

Home rules is a fiction maintained by Imperial porpoganda The Imperial nobility and the megacorporations sit atop it all, worlds are "allowed" to govern themselves... the Imperium giveth, the Imperium taketh away if they do not get their money.
