So what kind of ships or ship classes do we get?

Okay so Artisans expand the worker class and you split the white collar jobs between corporate and civic positions. Is there still a "colonist" career or has that been folded into a specialty for each of the three (four? Or is Teacher a Scholar career?) careers? Scholar careers sound like...

Haven't been on this in a while, was busy earning my Associates in Medical Billing. Is Mongoose still looking for freelance submissions? And do they still need pirate submissions in particular?

So, for those who have it, what is in the book?

If this has been asked already I apologize. But if you are still looking for Pirate Groups is there a particular format you want us to use for submissions beyond the style guide on the first page? Something like 760 Patrons or the NPC write ups for the executive board of that one mining...

It might be just because I started with MgT but honestly I'm not impressed by this. Nothing particularly grabbed me and much of it is an appeal to a sense of nostalga I don't have. That and having to give out about $150 is more then I'm willing to pay sight unseen even if it is for a six...

This probably is a silly question but do you prefer that promising writers start with a query letter or dive right into the submissions?

Hmmm, I'll have to think about this. I might have a minor race I can submit but most of the stuff I wrote for the Traveller system was for Reign of Discordia. I'll go look at my species notes again... Edit: If we elect to be paid in cash instead of Mongoose merchandise, will we be paid by...

I know I've been off and on with these forums, but I'll miss you all the same. And well, the point of a game is to have fun. Hopefully you'll find another game that allows you to do the things you want.

Well, they are the only two careers left that haven't gotten an official splat book yet so why not? Personally, in addition to the expanded careers and equipment lists containing specialist tools, I would like to see sections on establishing and running colonies/outposts as well as ways to...

It's been awhile since we had this conversation so I guess I'll just explain why I said I would like a section on how to make a military game more then a dungeon crawl. I made that comment speaking from the experience of being the only vet in a group of 4th Edition noobs. Granted, we (the...

- honestly I have to say I side more with aspqrz on this one. While not as bad as Cyberpunk V.3 (which occasionally references skills and entries omitted from the book,) RoD does fall beneath most of the Mongoose Traveller books I have read, at least as far as basic typos are concerned. -...

hmmm, I have not heard about this. Would you mind telling me where you heard this?

True, although I don't recall Robot mentioning anything about robot specific careers. It would make sense though. Signs and Portents careers... I would definitely be behind the idea of including them for completeness but in general I was not impressed with S&P careers. But that's just my two...

Same, which is a bit of a shame as I would have found it rather useful to know what options are available in a certain supplement or which book I'd need to read for this or that career. Well, for Mongoose that can't be too long. The core generic careers are almost completely covered (only...
