He returned in a later book after miraculously surviving right?

Maybe make the gionetti a light strike cruiser? With a J-3 or J-4 drive but with fuel for 5 parsec jump. It can jump in and out very quickly if it encounters resistance it cannot handle.

It’s from an adventure called expedition to Zhodane and the travellers find it. It’s a one off ship and was used by a mysterious professor ‘ooo’. It is only loosely a spy adventure, or it can be if that’s the way it pans out. It’s all against the backdrop of drop of the FFW and maybe might of...

I don’t think sticking to the original design really rigidly is that necessary. It’s a jump 5 light cruiser that doesn’t do very well in the of battle. And is used as the flagship of light high jump task groups. As long as it sort of fits that description from the original source does it really...

Also what is really the difference between a battlefield meson accelerator and the 50ton bay. I mean they are largely the same size. Why are battlefield mesons not available until TL15, may as well stick a TL11 50 ton bay in your massive grav sled.

Should be TL15.

I imagine that a lot of contesting the orbital Space of a world and landing troops is the attacker knocking out the sensors for the meson gun emplacements and the defender erecting new ones all over.

I thought they were gonna all die on the way down? Haha. I like how even though they start in space, going slowly they are already descending in flaming glory.

Granted. Poor decisions should lead to poor outcomes. But what I personally would like to avoid is that there is a hierarchy of decisions. Some individuals have been hammering the old ‘Orbital dominance trumps all’ card. But I think looking at what is commonly accepted as canon, invading a...

I don’t know enough about virus to have an opinion, other than I think that mega traveller kind of broke what was the main appeal for most about traveller? I think when DNA is used what people actually mean is genetic material and that could transferred in all sorts of ways, perhaps. Except it’s...

I think mesons need to be once every 6 minutes. Otherwise mesons are too powerful. Even on the traveller (not starship) level. I think they need to be compromised by very slow rate of fire and the direction of fire is actually quite straight forward to calculate after the firing has started. So...

I think as I said the sensors in this instance , optimised for speed would be simply looking at vector and magnitude of signal. They would need to be able to respond very quickly, as these particles and explosions etc are resolving over very small amounts of time. Maybe you could have sensors...

Does it now? Well that seems silly. What happens if you aren’t carbon based. DNA is just the type of compound isn’t it.

The dna is not releasing energy so it is not measurable and it is inside something. Would aslan even have DNA?

I think it is flippancy? Or facetious? Now I am definitely being pedantic. Please accept my apologies
