The reason hard back rule books were invented. :lol:

If this isn't a highlighted quote on the back cover of the rule book, it should be. :lol:

It's to do with search engine ranking. My technical understanding of it is rudimentary, but to put it simply: By mentioning (spamming) the words/website addresses in what are seen as "valid" posts on forums that are regarded as being respectable by the search engines, the words/websites gain...

Have they turned off some anti-spam option in the forum software?!? This is one of the worst spam attacks I've seen in an active forum for a long time. As for reporting it, you just need to look at the 'new posts' to get pages of them.

Only at the shipyard that originally built it, or any shipyard across the entirety of Imperial space that's capable of repairing it? Right there is at least one small chink in the system, something that motivated criminals would take a great deal of interest in.

Oh, I read your description just fine the first time. My post was just suggesting that where there is pretty serious money to be made, criminal ingenuity knows no bounds. Of course, if you want there to be no smugglers, pirates, dodgy types, etc, running around in misappropriated starships in...

Just when you finally think you can stretch your mind to actually comprehend that much 'space', your eyes settle on the title of the final image... "observable universe" :shock:

Sounds impressively draconian. Just means that the black market transponder suppliers can charge more. :wink:

Agreed, it was bloody terrible.

Isn't the problem that $18 for International Shipping is way too high if you are just ordering a single slim pamphlet, but an absolute bargain if you are ordering half a dozen hardbacks? Is it not possible to scale your international postal costs for people who just want to order...

Is there really any question that the more advanced tech levels available in the Traveller universe could produce fully AUTONOMOUS ships capable of jumping? :? Surely, it must just come down to legality/morality/social issues. Besides, if you want a good reason not to allow 'AI' controlled...

I thought Disney had already purchased the franchise back when Episode One was released. :lol: Maybe they were concerned that his movies were in danger of damaging Disneys reputation, and that they had better buy the damn company to raise standards? :lol:

As I see it, it's purely a setting decision. If automated jump ships were possible, the X-Boat network would surely make use of them. I believe that if you allow widespread use of fully automated jump ships, it turns into a different Traveller universe. As for a 'logical' rule, how about: It...

I guess I'm just trying to picture how you would upgrade Battledress with +10 STR. I would imagine it requiring a complete structure up rebuild to enable the enhanced strength to actually be used. Otherwise, you are just going to rip your hand/arm off, rather than the airlock you are holding on...

Assuming that the +10 comes from upgrading the 'muscles/structure' with technology at or about the same Tech Level as the initial suit design, rather than from some superior technology. What kind of extra bulk would +10 STR add to the suit? Can it even fit inside a 'normal' spaceship man sized...
