Hmmm would Mongoose be putting an Ian Stead or Rob Caswell spin on old designs? Like for the Sydkai?

Having 2 guns per wing doesn't automatically make it that. It's a basic shape. And something you could pull off in space. Remember Babylon 5's Starfury? Well that also had the excuse of needing engines. etc. at different axis.

Yes, I was hoping to see that as well. Since it hinted at things that are usually not part of standard Traveller. Like Transhumanism? Time Travel, etc? Also what happened to the Star Trek game?

For both :)

All the likes :) :) :)

Problems with licensing aside, I mostly wanted to see his designs stated up for the new system. Especially ships like the Qasar scout cruiser. Along with the other cruiser adventure ships. The fighting ships I would love too. I hate to say it, but they look better than the standard Traveller...

I would like to petition Mongoose. To use Bryan Gibson's spaceship and vehicle art in the upcoming Vehicle and Fighting Ships books. It was one of the major reasons I got into the Traveller game. Back during the T20 explosion.

Spoilers Yeah I'm a little late, pop in and out months at a time. Pleased to see the Finale finally up, greatly enjoyed this campaign adventure. One little thing... That throw away paragraph on the final page: Ecyclopedia Gallactica. Saying how Kingdom of Drinax was re-established in 1105...

These things had game benefits. As in Bonuses to maneuvering and agility, etc. But also would take up volume and component space in the vehicle. Like let's say Hypersonic Airframe would be 20% of the vehicles hull.

I didn't get to see any of the beta playtests, etc. I have one question. I noticed in Gypsy Knight Games supplement for it's fighters and landers, that every ship basically had the same stats. Tonnage, weapons, thrust, etc. Really not much difference. Even though one said it was a space...

Some good ol 70's sci-fi sweetness. Thinking perfect for Traveller ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k520GiR362U

I always wondered why launch tubes were arranged like a gun. I take it modern aircraft carrier catapults are the inspiration. But they take into account long runways to gather enough speed to fight Earth's gravity. As bringing popular culture into this, why not have launch rails like in...

Yes I agree. Too many times all you get in system descriptions is the "cruise ship port description". Star. Mainworld... that's it. Terra thousands of years from now apparently just ignores the rest of the solar system according to cannon. Even Clement Sector does this. You get a few...

"Using 80s anime mecha tropes is not Traveller" Yeah I don't think there's a cannon police for Traveller. Especially when they make such an effort to have people make their own YTUs. So sorry, not recognizing your authority here. "mecha go into the realm of science fantasty" Uh huh, you realize...
