Oh, I don't think "angry" would even begin to come close to what the Imperium would feel about such an event. In fact, I think the Zhodani, Sword Worlders, and possibly even the Vargr would want to be in on the debate with the Traveller equivalent of Borg. The Aslani would definitely take part...

ROFLMAO! Well done! I'm married to a mechanical engineer and she agrees.

Personal medikit for unexpected allergies and..um..biostructure disruptions.

Don't need a low berth. Just drink the potion the old wise man with the gray beard gives you and say the words, "Klaatu varata nikto".

All life on Earth uses nucleic acids to transmit information. Nucleic acids are long chains of individual units called nucleotides. When chained together, they create molecules known as deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, or ribonucleic acid, RNA. Those molecules carry information through generations of...

Two issues with this..1) solar flares, and 2) micro-meteoroid impacts. Both can easily be dealt with by high tech-based early warning systems and knowledge of the local star system.

Ships taking part in gas giant skimming will also need to take into account the radiation in said gas giant's magnetic field. However, this isn't that difficult to do, as an article on the Popular Science website discusses (see following link)...

Once the weapon's capabilities are noted by the wielder's enemies, they'll figure out someway of getting past them. Taking at look at the weapon's individual effects, how about an ambush of about 30 goblinoids wielding heavy crossbows and backed up by 6-10 evil spellcasters? Flight: negated by...

Thank you! And regarding my mixing in arrays, quite likely.

Thank you for your connfirmation. I've also noted that the definition of "capital ship" is any ship with a displacement of, or above, 5000 tons. And the Midu Agashaam destroyer at 3000 tons has a Type 1 Point Defence Battery installed. This confirms by inference that PD Batteries are not...

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if the limitation was part of some past errata. Sounds like I just didn't remember correctly. Good!

Are Point Defence Batteries limited to 3000+ ton ships only? I seem to recall such a limitation but looking at HG 2e on page 33 (pg 34 in my copy of the pdf file), I don't see it. Is this limitation stated somewhere else or am I just misremembering?

Excellent house rule.

Amen to this. I am so very, very sorry for your and your family's incredible loss.
