Looking at the rules as written for missiles I agree: Missiles are basically explained as Warhead + Detonator + Guidance + Propulsion. But maybe the missile of the future will be just a little bit different? If a scifi setting tells me there is some kind of technology that doesn't seem to fit in...

I'm also waiting for my copy here in germany. Considering corona I will still wait a bit and hope it arrives :D

I am using isometric deckplans in roll20. I would like 2d deckplans as an alternative. But why can't you use the isometric ones? You can set up the scale accordingly and deactivate the grid for player tokens. That way player tokens can move on the isometric deckplan. It also works with dynamic...

I started Traveller with a group of newbies to Traveller (but experienced pen & paper players) in November last year. It’s also my first game in Traveller but I wanted to play or GM it for quite a while now (what else to do with all this traveller-stuff in my bookcase and PC?). They wanted...

Sorry for the derailing. I hope you are well again or are getting better :) Can you tell anything about mechanics or interesting parts (other than inspiration of course) that might be interesting for other campaigns? Drinax has its Aslan information. Does Deepnight Revelation offer similar...

Drinaxian Companion, please release before I try out Traveller with my group and have them decide between FFG Star Wars and Traveller Pirates of Drinax :(

Don't rush things. I hope everyone gets well soon :)

According to their facebook account both are waiting for art. A week ago this was the answer:

Okay after comparing the possibilities I would agree that the 25% size increase goes with an increased base price. Otherwise the 25% bigger size option would always be more useful. Using 10 dtons of TL 12 PP as an example: 25% size increase with increased cost: size: 10 dtons * 1.25 -> 12.5...

I believe increased size means: You want to buy a plant generating 150 Power. A TL 12 Fusion Power Plant will normally do that for 10 tons and cost you 10 MCr. Now you take increased size, reducing the cost by 25% to 7.5 MCr. As a result your Power Plant will be 12.5 dtons. The bigger Power...

I think you have to decide how many chances you want the Mendina Crews to have, depending how grave the mistake they made was. Personally I don't like to kill of players after a bad decision without somehow making clear, this is a really bad idea. The same goes for single dice rolls killing the...

If it is the kind of mistake you say, this encounter should not be too easy for them. But if I understand your last post correctly, they will more or less meet each other by chance. The hired mercs want to jump and don't expect to run right into their target before that, right? Therefore I would...

Really great summary of your session. I can't wait to finally start a traveller game wigh pirates of drinax myself - but as if is this will be quits some time in the future :(

I don't think 3d printing will just replace known manufacturing completely. Differrent methods have different advantages as well as disadvantages. This also applies to 3d printing. It won't be the optimal method for everything. Spaceships are expensive but so are airplanes today. Those are mass...

Piracy in Traveller is quite different compared to piracy today. Space is very big and it takes a lot of time for someone to get.the news. First of all someone needs to get the info. A pirate attack happened? Did it show on someones sensors? Is it necessary to jump to get the info to the...
