Other people do.

Don't sweat it. You'll never be able too. Most people don't really care as long as an edition is self-consistent. Locking yourself into some sort of 'canon' just because it was published in an earlier edition isn't necessary. I really doubt any adventure is going to hinge on whether or not...

Check out _The Getaway Special_ by Jerry Oltion. Mad scientists invents an FTL drive that can be built with parts from a hardware store and releases the design as public domain. A different take on the small-ship universe.

Most discussion like this are postulated on one of two presumptions: Either: Hard SF = good, intellectual, superior; Soft SF = weak, worse, less intellectual, mere fantasy or Hard SF = bad, not caring about people - just technology, hard to understand; Soft SF = story uber alles, handwavium with...

We all know the Type K from Adventure 10, but does anyone know if anyone has produced a mini for it? Anything will do - even something that's Type K-ish looking from Shapeways would do. Failing that, does anyone have a 3d model that I can slice up and print myself? Thanks!

Agreed completely. I have both the Fate version and the Traveller version of Mindjammer. What I want is use Mindjammer to run a game in the Third Imperium. I'm starting up a new Traveller campaign shortly, and - according to the players that want to play - I may just do that. Some of my players...

What will the physical copy be like? Hardback of softback? Slipcover or actual box?

This. If you want large cruise ships in your TU, then they exist. I've always believed that the published T&C rules only apply to the standard tramp freighter and it's ecosystem. Other ships (especially the large container ships and multi-thousand dton cruise liners) use different rules...

These numbers are in no way surprising.

Modern container ships can carry 15,000+ TEUs and be unloaded and loaded in a couple of days. Less if you're in Hong Kong. Well-equipped starports will have no problem moving huge amounts of tonnage. http://www.emma-maersk.com/specification/

Yeah, it's been discussed to death over on CoTI. With the pro-water side generally making more sense, as there's no in-game reason as to why you cant use water.

My posts are quite coherent. They address each person's point and point out the problem with their critique, Some people, it seems, have problems actually reading posts. It's part of the problem. It makes water much safer that l-hyd. Some people are arguing against that. That makes no logical...

Horsefeathers. You haven't actually been reading my posts, have you? I mention the dangers of l-hyd to refute the rediculous assertion that handling it is no big deal and is as safe as handling water. That doesn't even come close to reality. Using water instead of l-hyd also makes fuel...

I disagree. It has much less issues than l-hyd as presented in the Traveller rules. I thin kthat this thread has shown that, as the handwavium needed for l-hyd is much more than for water. Besides, three versions of Traveller rules have allowed just that - water to be used as fuel. Last I...
