    Detecting Weapons' Fire

    Your guess is as good as mine. Talk to a manager. ;) I'd say the penalty applies to all three even with the use of or.

    Detecting Weapons' Fire

    It absolutely makes sense when we're talking about maneuver drives, which is what we were talking about. If you're working with a special case that only a certain brand of sensor can detect, then you have to use the rules for that sensor alone.

    Detecting Weapons' Fire

    How would you recommend it change? It doesn't need to be far more convoluted, though the range bands kind of leave something to be desired.

    Detecting Weapons' Fire

    It's not separate. All the things are considered together to detect a vessel. If you have a guy racing an out-of-control bicycle down a steep hill while it is on fire, he is screaming his fool head off, and fireworks are going off from the rear like the 4th of July, you aren't just looking at a...

    I was answering for the maneuver drive. Power plants add a DM+1 at minimal power and above. This just means you are less detectable under thrust (DM+1 to detection per Thrust). Two additional points of Thrust with no worse detection odds or stealthier at a slower speed.

    How many more books are planned for FFW?

    One billion, but not a one that actually settles what happens. Or even says why it is happening.

    Read it more closely. It can either change the characteristics or reduce emissions. "Emission Masking mode imposes DM-2 on attempts to detect, identify or track the vessel at Medium range or greater."

    Here is the variable emissions maneuver drive from The Riverland. It's the only stealth maneuver drive I know of.

    In fact, all three of these might benefit from the third and fourth columns being switched.

    Ask MongooseMatt ANYTHING!!!

    I hear you. As exotic tech, it can be part of Charted Space. It is, after all, exotic, so far from common. That doesn’t mean not present at all.

    I’d prefer to leave the Exotics section in. I build ships for my purposes that use them. Have the options are worthwhile.

    Traveller Trade Tool

    I'll be giving this a test drive soon, but I want to suggest a minor tweak. The freight section on the Purchases tab has the Tons in Lots section overrunning the input area of the Tons Taken area. Perhaps swap them around?

    Torpedoes vs the Sensop (Electronic Warfare)

    That’s a lie. You sit corrected. ;)

    The upcoming ship stretch goal in Singularity is supposed to allow this.
