    Building a Special Arm spaceship

    So......this was a lower than common tech ship that escaped with the turkic fleet to Daryen and somehow survived till today? Zero, TL10 ships hulls have a lifetime of decades.........TL16 measure in millennia. Stop trying to build it on a shoestring, it won't work. Just use the RAW for Darrian...

    Design tip: Fission PP's vs. Fusion for interplanetary ships

    In my TU, fission is favored by some. At any tech level that has Damper technology, the fuel doesn't need to be particularly reactive, the damper tech allows it to be while its on. More particularly, using damper tech, any fuel remains would possibly have been rendered totally inert. High...

    Energy based Sniper Rifles?

    Laser Sniper Weapon System add more range add more accuracy(scope, whatnot) add more damage limit the number of shots due to the high out put for both cooling and energy depletion of the battery pack. for the whizzbang feature, variable frequency to defeat reflect and whatnot to get the best...

    Starship Deck Plans

    Meh, this is the Imperium, standard designs and all that. I'd expect all Golf class Light Cruisers to be just about identical when built, and generally the same through thier service life. The changes would develop when a ship is refit. Now a Golf, 110 years out of the yards, refit several...

    Planet Buster weapons?

    I'm partial to the Bethe Cycle-Solar Phoenix weapon otherwise known as the Hellburner is quite destructive. Drop in an ocean where it has a ready supply of Hydrogen and it will have a longer than normal duration. The atmospheric heating has to be seen to be believed. Drop a couple and its lights...

    Even more space combat questions

    keep it simple, triple turrets or PB's for the Corsair. A favorite of mine is the variable range upgraded pulse laser. Add the 1 option High Output to that and its a credible fighter weapon. Not bad at all on the Corsair either.

    If memory serves, it's in both, the original and the MGT one.

    Psion question

    Age 14 is from Belters, and could be seen as any sort of apprenticeship early start. Strictly speaking by the rules, that whole before tours thing is a misnomer. What it means is Psi-whatever IS your first carrer, and if you stay with the various paths thats your carrer. This keeps your PSI...

    First adventure and a Noble question

    I use the same resource 77th posted in my campaigns. It works, and it nicely fleshes out what it means to be SOC X.

    New from Darrian Discount Ships!

    Um a couple comments about Darrian design, eh, principles. 1. small and I mean small cabins and large communal spaces. 2. Safety is paramount, sorry, no way in h*** they'd build a chemical rocket system as primary propultion, wouldn't be allowed to land either. They like to have backups for...

    Character dossier

    My brain is missfiring, but the folks that brought us the Career Books 1 and 2 also put out a character folio I think. It's early Coffee hasn't set in and its monday and I'm at workk, that's my excuse. Mebe it was the D66 lists guy, I dunno. Seen one somewhere, bought it too, I like it. Try...

    Tips on Running a Pirate Campaign

    As for a ship, the old tried and true Type P Corsair is hard to beat, decent speed and weapons, 100 ton cargo bay to absconed with your ill gotten booty, been used as a Picket Ship, Patrol vessel, Privateer, Armed Merchantman and Pirate ship for thousands of years. They are built all over both...

    Rad shielding vs. fusion damage

    The issue at question was whether or not the +6 armour add from rad shielding applied. Not whether it stopped it altogether, which I cannot see in any case being the point.

    Rad shielding vs. fusion damage

    The description of the hull option says it protects each and every compartment, including the hull. If the comparment you are in get puncured badly enough by a radiaiton dealing weapon, I posit that the point is moot, your toast already. On a side note, traveller rad shielding also protects...
