    Reaction Drives

    The problem is your internal gravitic field would need to be upgrade to handle that much thrust or they would overload. You could shut down your G-Drive and then use a R-Drive, but how long can a crew function at 6Gs before blacking out? Even if everyone was in flightsuits and control couches...

    I ran a Golden age of Si-Fi / Pulp fiction game useing ....... the old Champion Super Hero RPG rules on a low power seting. It was a blend of Jules Verne / Doc. Savage / Tarzan / Flash Gorden.

    please critique and comment

    At TL12 you get Nuclear Dampers, which leads to more balanced weapon mixes ........ Have they been invented yet in your seting? Nuclear Dampers lower the use of missile based fleets of ships, in the 3I to a large degree. But some Vargr and many Hivers fleets like to stay at longer ranges and...

    Replace the compact bridge, with a Hardened one. Git rid of that -1DM and keep your crew alive a bit longer. In a missile heavy setting, Nukes are a crew killer. Hardening the bridge will allso protect your ships computer.

    Drive sizes

    I use the A,B,C,D, ect drives as standard "off the shelf" models. With wide spread avaiable repair and maintance supplies. High Guard % drives and drive modifacations for the most part are custom built for a class of ship. While they use many of the same subparts, the biger drives are harder...

    Can we now have more interesting Ancients?

    Make up more of your own. I have lots of pre-human leftovers sprinkled here and there. Most of them are -not- from "The Ancients", but from the millions of years before and a few after.

    Tribels or some other harmess seeming creature that is introduced into the pet trade. To bad their reproductive cycle spikes into overdrive every 11 generations or so as a locust like surival mechanism. To overcome the preadators on their native planet eating them all up. If they get free on...

    Am I missing something?

    Allso most subsidized starships are subject to mobilization and use as auxiliaries in the event of emergency or other government need. This is a good way use the new benifit results from High guard, to get more ship shares or advanced navy ship components. Make your players ship a subsidized...

    Need advice choosing a CT adventure

    If the Traveller Adventure is on the CD use the Aramis Subsector as a starting point? Then add in Adventure 3, Twilight's Peak. To get them to the Regina subsector and when Tripwire comes out move them sinward to the Jewell Subsector.

    Need inspiration for a galactic menace

    A Multi-dimensional enity that is pokeing it's "fingers" into one or more star systems. It has little understanding of our dimension and is doing a number of experiments to lean more :twisted:
