2300 has a fair bit of effort put into spin gravity systems and orbital transfer stuff already, since their version of space magic drives doesn't work close to planets and they don't have anti grav stuff at all.

A typical cyberpunk setting like Shadowrun can't support its population by "conventional" means. That's why there's all kinds of vat grown foods and everything is made of soy or krill or folks are just eating nutripaste (except the rich folks). As mentioned previously, these are trade codes...

No, but I think that the a ship potentially full of wealthy individuals just self destructing is going to get the crew in a lot of hot water (with or without casualties) even if no one has any idea what it self destructed into. And the players will be taking actions that draw attention of the...

They are fugitives because they are allies of Naalir, who is flat out illegal in the Imperium. If they aren't allies of Naalir, then they wouldn't be fugitivies, just victims of the rogue AI.

People mining the belts and people residing in the belts are not the same thing. It might be that Vegans don't mind the commute given their longer lives. I'm not a big fan of the belter pre-career option. I'd rather we just have homeworld backgrounds if we are going to start doing that kind...

Fyi, Classic Traveller Book 9: Pirates says that prize ships are generally worth 2d6% of the original price, assuming you can actually get it to port. That's for legal sale of captured ships, such as privateers and corporate trade war "pirates" who have government or corporate patrons with the...

Obviously, the different species have different term lengths is a game balance hack. Unless Vegans really do take 4 times as long to learn something as your average human. And, yes, I agree that the best way to reflect the Irrishtyoshun would have been as a pre-career activity. And, of course...

Huh. I never noticed that MgT2e eliminated the requirement for mail ships to be armed.

what rule is the referee not following and refusing to redo? Edit: Oh, I see, in the other thread. I don't think that's particularly a problem. People are going to screw the rules up, especially when new to the game. You fix it going forward. It's not like you killed a character or something...

It says FIRST CAREER. It does not say FIRST TERM. Vegan Terms are 16 years. In the category "CAREERS" it says they must choose Drifter for the first one. Either Scavenger or Wanderer, not Barbarian. It then says after their term as a Drifter, they can attempt to qualify for another career...

I figured they did, but I was just looking at the rules for Vegan Chargen, which doesn't mention it at all. Though if you really wanted to be uptight about it, you could argue that's a scholar tuhuir not the pre-career university option :D

AI art detectors are pretty terrible and I would not recommend using them to screen out TAS products. Human AI detectors are often even worse, because most of them are just halfwit randos on the internet. As someone who will not intentionally buy a product using AI generated art, I am...

That's not what it says. It says the first career not the first term must be drifter. You can decide that Vegans cannot go to any school at all if you would like, but there is nothing that says they have different pre-career options than anyone else. It says that their first career must be...

Pre Career is pre Career. It's before your first career (aka drifter).

As I said, Traveller is designed for Tramp Trader bottom of the barrel scraping 70s Space Opera. So what the game designers expect is that the players take on some stupidly risky adventure to recover their lost half million credits in some other way. Tons of Traveller adventures start with...
