I think is an alternative way of saying "a shipyard" :)

I see things this way. Agent of the Imperium was entertaining and worthwhile reading for any Traveller. I agree there are some differences. Some of the differences are improvements and some differences are a source of irritation. I think that Mongoose's 3i/Charted Space content is overall...

64 slots for battle dress seems too large for fitting 5 marines worth of gear into a 1-ton ship's armory. Although I can see the rational for increase of size for a human in battle dress. Perhaps battle dress in an armory with no human inside make its bulk a size smaller. I wonder if size 6...

I've recently been rereading The Third Imperium book. It is a superb campaign source. It respects the CT material and still adds new content that I've been finding it useful even for campaigns Spinward of the Core Sector. It contains many passages that have provided me hooks for new game ideas...

In MTU, I've been portraying Delphine as a capable old spy master acting as a vibrant PC-patron. She is played a bit like Lady Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones. She and Norris are secretly allied friends aligned in their guidance of the Imperium behind the claw. Their public rivalries are an...

Thank you for this review. Well done.

I agree. To some extent, we have this with the Drinax campaign. I'd just like more of these interlinked adventure modules at the scale of mostly single-ship adventure class adventure groups. The TSR examples in your post are epic and on-point.

I like ships around a 1000tons. The Kinunir, the Aslan Halaheike, the Gurmashmar Nuur Far Trader are all favorites for me and your Scout Cruiser is fun too. Let's face it: Scouts are fun. The presentation of the ship in your blog is rich in detail with pleasant graphic design. I recommend...

When dealing with new solo characters do you all tend to invoke the optional rule from Traveller Companion (TC): Solo Generation Creating a Traveller on your own works just like normal, with the following minor changes: Skill Packages: Instead of picking a skill package, gain any one skill at...

I've been continuing to research this question a bit since first posting. Some of the additional data points that I've been considering are: Human-size object (size 5 robot) = 32 slots Imperial Marine Battledress = 130Kg (one of the heavier/bigger versions) 3Kg = roughly 1 slot Battledress =...

Terry, thanks for your advice! I appreciate it

Assuming that battledress (for a standard size human adult) can be packed into transport cases (suitcases) for storage, I'd like to design a robot that could be used to transport this packed armor about in a storage compartment. This robot porter would carry this luggage about internally...

I understand what your saying in regards to making a distinction between the 3i/Charted Space setting and others, and I agree that clarity for when rules are presented vs campaign content is desirable. In this case, the categories are already published but inconsistent across publications...

The section on Black Market and the listing of various categories of weapons restriction is somewhat different than Traveller Companion's publication of similar restriction categories. It might be useful to align these. The Traveller Companion doesn't have "prohibited items" section, but does...
