Gotta keep the principal alive!

That makes a difference. ;)

Not by my calculations. H-1 on a 400-ton ship is 10%, so 40 tons. The other 4 tons are for the ship's boat and 12 weeks of operations.

Caught Travelling while rich? Then you might need a Valet Android. MixCorp has you covered!

The writup for the Jump Spines says this: "The spinal link subconsciously connects the astrogator (and engineer, if included) via a neural link to the ship’s Hop Control software and jump drive" That should be hop drive, or maybe replace jump and hop with jump/hop in this section since it can...

One more suggestion, as the ship has a medical bay but might be shy on actual medics, replace one (or more) of the three beds with advanced AutoDocs from the Robot Handbook.

Also, as a TL16 ship, Mother should give the Peregrine TL16 superior sensors. Those aren't even prototypes at that tech level.

In the Peregrine stretch goal, the hop drive ship has the wrong text for the fuel capacity. It should read "H-1, 12 weeks of operation, plus Ship's Boat".

Chapter 2 - Ship of the Dead Thyra stepped into the corridor and looked in both directions. She wasn’t familiar with ships in general—not that she could say she was familiar with much at all at this point—but everything looked the way she’d expect things aboard a ship to look. The corridor she...

I did misunderstand. The new Vehicle Handbook comes out before (or close to) Singularity, so it would make sense to use the new system. It’s a bad call to make the design not follow the rules that will be in effect when it hits print. It’ll be obsolete before anyone can use it.

I’m glad it used the new system, but I think they made some mistakes along the way. Looking forward to the book coming out and the new spreadsheet, too.

Write some cat (Aslan) themed books and we can support your cat in a meta way.

I like the Peregrine stretch goal a lot but ran into a hitch recreating the air/raft. I have the beta spreadsheet, so things might have changed, but I can't get the same specs at that price. Not even close. The design is twice as expensive unless I'm missing something. Also, all the transceiver...

Or available for "a reasonable fee." Credits are credits, after all.

For those of you who don't know (likely just about everyone ;) ) I write science fiction professionally. I decided late last year to write a serialized story set in the Traveller Universe (with some deviations because it isn’t RAW in all cases) as a project of the heart. I'm releasing it here...
