So according to you Colin is destroying Mongooses 2300’s existing rules? Now remember earlier editions how no pending on this they were not Mongooses version of the game and setting and Mongoose has been upfront with saying this is their universe and will be different from earlier editions...

Spreadsheets are expensive especially a professional built one. Ask Arakthan how many hours he’s put into his spreadsheet now now multiply that by 10 at a minimum and that’s without any VBA work done on it which for some of the things you want would be required. Now consider that to have this...

Military ships generally have less automation not more. There’s a lot of reasons including but not limited to the human ability to be creative when fixing a issue, greater redundancy (one human can and usually are crossed trained in multiple roles while automation/robots are most efficient if...

The problem is not everyone agrees with you or see a problem that warrants burning what currently exists

Except you ignore a major component of the military ‘Rank has its privileges’. Also subs don’t have the massive common areas that these ship do so your sub comparison is really not a good one. Even a destroyer is massive enough to be a small town. While some aspects are similar between a Sub...

We are not talking about civilian ship we are talking about military ships

In fact the largest ship that I’ve ever seen in a game was a CT mercenary campaign and the ship was a Broadsword Class. If I remember right the ship was name after one of the swords in LotR’s. The largest ship in a campaign I’ve ever ran was a Fury Class in my MegaTraveller campaign and I...

Anything over 2000dt is only used by players in perhaps 2% of games, in fact I would say about 90% of ships used by players in a campaign are 1000dt or less.

I understand what your saying but I think that just over complicating the rules for ships that are rarely used or needed

It’s more than that since many of the ships are not running anything like the CT version for example the Planet Class cruiser for mongoose runs particle bays and repulser bays while the mongoose version has Fusion Barbettes instead of the particle bays and no repulser bays. But there are major...

Yes there is it literally says it’s designed to carry personal like troops community freshers are a part of the common areas. Personal Fresher no but than that part of Rank has its Privileges so those that have rank have private Freshers

Barracks are already a official system you just using them for enlisted crew as well as marines (1 person per dt life support included) “ BARRACKS Ships designed to carry large numbers of troops tend to use barracks instead of staterooms. A barracks may only be used to carry soldiers, basic...

Actually the tonnage they use for crew is the greatest limiting factor. I recently redid a few of the capital ships designs and just by changing the crew quarters as I pointed out increased availability tonnage by almost a quarter in most cases. Also almost all capital ships do not use more...

So here the thing it makes no sense for every enlisted crew member in a warship to share a stateroom. That’s just not how it’s done in real life and ignores the privilege of rank. No crew quarters on a warship should look something like thins. E0-E2 would be in Barracks (Traveller starts rank...

The biggest crew issue is military or paramilitary ships. The crew requirements make lots of sense for these ships but mongoose rarely follows their own rules in this case. I find a quick fix is considering how it’s done in the actual navy, enlisted crew members sleep in barracks just like the...
