Spacecraft Design Crew Requirement Medic

[snrdg121408]

Hi AndrewW,

I have no idea what the Scout, Type S crew requirements are in either my hardcover or PDF CRB books. Trying to get a handle on the medics has resulted in finding out that the new HG design rules have merged the CRB 2008 Spacecraft, HG 2008 Spacecraft Options, Small Craft, and Capital Ship Design rules together rewriting the requirements. In CRB 1st edition to fill a ship's minimum crew requirement you can substitute an Expert Astronavigation program for the navigator.

According the IISS 1. According to the Traveller Core Rulebook (1st Mongoose edition): Pilot, Navigator, Engineer. Doesn't say they have to be different people or even people at all.

My apologies but I can not find the page that IISS 1. is found on, however in the Crew requirements table on p. 113 the minimum personnel is Pilot, Expert Astronavigation program, and Engineer. Without the program I'm guessing a navigator is required.

Who should I send the possible CRB 1st ed. Scout Type S cost error to for review.

At this point don't see any further updates to the 1st edition Core Rulebook coming (over in the Traveller section since it doesn't apply to the playtest). But feel free to post where the issue is (other then the Air/Raft cost which was already covered).[/quote]

I understand, but do not agree, with the idea since there are people like me who gather and or keep there old stuff as an archive. Okay, I'm a hoarder of games.

Thank you for confirming I should move this back to Traveller and if there is something that may affect HG 2 to post here.

Have a good one.

Didn't mean a specific rule. But for the Type S it's common for it to be manned by one lone scout.

Could be one person with both pilot and astrogation skill to fill that, wouldn't have to be a program.

Just meaning in terms of official updates, nothing wrong with continued discussion.

Hi AndrewW,

Thank you for the clarifications in response to my latest post.

No wonder why I could not find "IISS 1." and which means the gremlins do not get blamed for hiding the material. Oh, well I'm sure something else will come up that I can blame them.

Is there any written rule identifying how many positions one character can fill in any book, similar to what CT LBB 2 1977/1981 p. 16?

I agree that a pilot probably has a secondary skill in astrogation, which in my opinion is the same as astronavigation, based on the history of aircraft pilots having to learn the skill, I'm not sure how skilled pilots are today in navigation though.

I have had one forum member reply to one of my probable errata posts that if the errata is not in the individual's Mongoose book the errata is fan fiction and ignored. Of course I'll continue to post what may be errata hoping the Powers That Be will give a nod of yes or no.

One more note is that when going through the rules I try very hard not "read between" the lines when applying them. As an example the Crew Requirements Table Minimum crew needs a minimum of two bodies and an Astronavigation program to meet the safety regulations.
