Summary of questions asked and @MongooseMatt's (or someone else officially with Mongoose)'s response to them:
1. Is the MCr1 price of an emergency low berth in High Guard 2022 Update a typo? Previous editions call for KCr100.
[Status May 13, 2025: Answered]
[From @paltrysum: Not a typo as it has been MCr1 since Mongoose 2e in 2016 but as 1e and CT has it as KCr100 it might be updated.]
2. Will Mongoose consider using KCr, BCr, TCr, and commas ( or anything, really) separation to make large numbers readable?
[Status May 6, 2025: Answered]
[From @MongooseMatt: They are considering KCr and BCr may have already been used.]
3. Why persist with a hydrogen filled jump bubble when: 1. it is based on very dodgy fanon and 2. it is contradicted by collectors and batteries in both the setting and the High Guard rules themselves.
[Status May 10, 2025: Answered]
[From @MongooseMatt: Mongoose wishes to leave these details up to referees without further clarification.]
4. Are single occupancy staterooms the default in Mongoose Traveller or double occupancy? Do the leaders (officers) go single or are they also double occupancy?
[Status May 10, 2025: Answered]
[From @MongooseMatt: There is no default assumption for staterooms. Some high ranking officers will be in singles (captain, executive officer, chief engineer?) and the rest will double up.]
5. Regarding the Telepath or Clairvoyance Psionic powers:
Can a Telepath or Clairvoyant project an image into a mechanical device?
[Status May12, 2025: Answered]
[From @MongooseMatt: As it stands, no. However, it is not beyond the possible that someone, somewhere in Charted Space, has figured out how to do this.]

Okay, not really anything, but when we post questions about the rules or potential typos in the feedback area, we often don't receive a response, so I'm creating this thread in the hopes of getting some response to questions we have, even if it is "we're looking at that" or some such.
I'll kick this off with a question I posted a few days ago. The emergency low berths in High Guard 2022 Update are listed at MC1 a pop. Seems real pricy since Mongoose 1e and all the previous versions of Traveller we checked had it being KCr100. In Mongoose 1e, it was listed as MCr.1 and we suspect a typo. Can we get some clartity on that so we can update the starship build sheet to reflect what we suspect if we're right? Thanks.
Also, allow me to suggest that adding KCr, BCr (or GCr to please @Geir), and TCr to your repertoire would be really helpful and would minimize the complaints about not having comma separation in your big numbers, too.
And sorry for all the wild AMA questions you're about to get @MongooseMatt.
