Well, damn. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to screw things up for your software. Now I wish I'd just kept my mouth shut. Did their response give any inkling if this was due to the terms of their license with FFE or due to the license they've elected to release Mongoose Traveller under?

The idea is not without merit, but at this stage I would feel presumptuous trying to inject myself between the rights-holder and and the licensee over the terms of their license agreement. I'm hoping this thread and some of the inquiries others have made will eventually yield a clearer answer...

That's one possible interpretation but I can't see how where the software runs could make that big of a difference. I may not be following your thinking here. The FFE Fair Use Policy is reasonably clear: "If your activity is non-commercial, you can make copies to support playing the game, you...

Could you elaborate on how you phrased your request? The reason I ask is I e-mailed Mongoose requesting permission to release some Traveller computer aids I've written and was told they cannot give permission for this due to licensing restrictions. Needless I'm more than a little confused at...

Is there any benefit from installing a larger than necessary drive or power plant in a starship hull? For example installing a type G drive in a 300 dTon hull gives you jump or maneuver 4, but so does the smaller, less expensive, cheaper to feed type F drive. Unless you got a deal on a type G...

I've been working on a relatively simple trade generator for Traveller. Nothing too complicated, right now it just does speculative trade (availability and purchase price based on trade codes, sale price based on trade codes). I'm kicking around the best way to add freight and passenger...

Do you know if an updated version of the main rules PDF be made available at some point as well?
